Everyone works hard to achieve their dream, and understandably so. All role models are influential in some way, and they can change people’s lives and shape them to be completely different people. The Jets Flyover decided to ask students who their role models are to get some insight.

Dana, Grade 9:

My role model is Blackpink’s Rosé, because she is very cool and she also dances very well. I want to be like her.

Juan, Grade 10:

My role model is Michael Jordan, He is one of the greatest basketball players of all time. I’m very interested in basketball, so I want to learn his skills and his mentality.
