741 Words3 Pages

I can't call myself Tiger Woods, I can't say that we are the exact same, nor can I say we are completely different. Everyone has a number of similarities and differences.

He is looked up to by many children, teens, and young adults of any race or ethnicity. He has impacted many lives by all of the positive advice he has given, he has taught people how to always keep a positive mindset no matter what, even in the darkest times.

Instead of getting down, he showed that being focused, and having a positive mindset, you can accomplish anything. He later went on to win 9 tournaments that season, which is the second most in the PGA. I can't call myself a role model in the sport of golf, especially when my role model is Tiger Woods. Another thing I can contrast about us is he is a role model to many, and I am not. I don't see myself being a role model in the sport of golf because I am still working on getting recognised. I had won teammate of the year in 2015, not just in golf, but for all athletics at Clackamas High School. I was a role model teammate, but not a role model
