I think it can be important for children to have a role model, because role models can inspire them to be better people or to improve themselves. Um, that's why I think kids who have role models tend to be more successful in their lives. But I don't think it's absolutely essential. Like, um, without a role model, you can still be successful. So for some kids, it's better to have someone to look up to and get encouraged, but for some other kids, it's better to focus on themselves and their own goals. So I think it's, um, different for different people.

So I think it’s, um, different for different people.
