I'm sure a lot of role models are needed in the world today. Especially males. I mean charlie sheen is a poor role model. John Wayne Uhhh. Hip-hop rappers, maybe, time will tell. President Obama seems like a good role model, he has overcame a lot to acheive the presidency. I feel I'm a good role model. I prove their is life after addiction, major mental illness, childhood abuse and neglect and poor social skills. I've been married 10 years, I've known my wife for over 20 years. I still have friends for pre-school. I'm a good guy, just have suffered through other peoples issues too much. I'm not bitter, I think of 300 years of slavery and I realize, "I can do this." African Americans inspire me. Thanks.
