Role Models

Some people find one role model and try to imitate

Their style and mannerisms, hoping to elevate

Their own personality to the coveted level

Of their carefully chosen role model

*

Many inspiring leaders I have been around

But a single person I have not found

To embody all the qualities I wish to emulate

Different facets from different people I incorporate

Into my style, audaciously hoping to build

My own personal brand as a woman confident and strong-willed

*

Sartorial styles, mannerisms, quotations

I am constantly on the lookout for inspiration

Many mentors have contributed to my learning, especially in medicine

On the art of being a physician, they’ve imparted their unique spin

*

There is no dearth of inspiration around

In most people I meet, there is a mentor to be found
