This is going to sound corny, but my real life role model is my mother. She is truly to credit for me becoming the woman I am today. She's gone through so much both just because of her life and in order to give me a better life/childhood than she had, and I'm just so, so lucky to have her as my mom.

Also, thanks for that - I didn't know that it had been paraphrased, or where it originated. (I remember it from a childhood nursery rhyme.)
