In school, I always hated it when teachers would give out assignments such as writing about our role models. I don’t know about you, but I never had a role model. Whenever I would do one of those assignments, I felt nervous. I was a very good stier shitter, but I didn’t like doing it. It made me feel dirty. It still does. So I grew up thinking of role models as myths.
    Therefore, I was surprised the other week when I realised that I had one. Her name is Carey Mulligan. Now, I didn’t know much about Carey Mulligan, and I still don’t. The little that I do, though, I like. I know that she doesn’t wear much makeup – and she doesn’t need it. After watching some of her performances, I was impressed with how cute she was. She was and is adorable. She doesn’t need to make herself up and she doesn’t try to be sexy. I admired that about her. I won’t say that I had an epiphany – that seems too strong a word – but I can say that it changed my opinion of beauty a bit. I found myself slowly wearing less makeup – not caring about imperfections – and feeling better about myself.
    Shortly after realising that I looked up to Carey Mulligan, I googled an interview of hers. She seemed very humble and honest and dignified, which isn’t so new to me but that I was pleased to find in her. I also, though, read that she never set out to be seen as a beautiful film ster – however she is regarded as one to many people. She’d read on the internet that people didn’t find her attractive enough to be a movie star. I can see what people mean – to a certain extent – but I think she’s lovely nonetheless. Furthermore, she has the kind of awkward, sweet looks that I like in men. I think that seeing her own it makes it seem possible to me. I want to be cute, too!
    Carey Mulligan is human, so of course she isn’t perfect. I’m not exactly like her ( I have better taste in clothes ) and I don’t know her personally. That being written, u can’t fake the kind of honesty that she presents. She doesn’t bare her soul to strangers, but she isn’t putting on any kind of façade. I feel like a proud sister.
