Emma Watson is seen as a beautiful and graceful actress who starred in one of the best film series of all time. However, she is one of my biggest role models for many more reasons than that. Here are a few:
- She pours her life into her passions. Emma took the op
portunity after finishing Harry Potter to go to college to get an Education because it was something she was passionate about. She started a campaign about feminism because it is something she was passionate about. She devotes her life to charities because it is something she is passionate about. Emma Watson lives her life through what she feels is important to her in the world. - She stands up for what she believes in.
Emma Watson saw a change she wanted to make, so she launched a campaign to raise awareness for women’s rights around the world. At such a young age she has made a large impact by making her voice heard and helping others all over the world. She also has worked with the United Nations to help make her voice heard. 
- She inspires others.
Through her He for She campaign she has inspired others to learn and educate themselves about the inequalities around the world today. Through her speaking her mind and standing up for what she believes in, she has inspired (such as me) to do the same. She inspires by proving that standing up for what you believe in and being passionate is something we should all strive to do.
- She preaches and practices self-love.
Emma Watson prides herself on being her own person an loving that is different. In fact, she wants everyone else to love themselves too. She focuses her opinion on herself based solely on her own view of herself and not on what others may think. She lives by the motto that she isn’t giving others or society the control to determine what she thinks of herself. This is a goal that I want to one day achieve and I think it is one of the most admirable traits of Emma Watson.
So, how does this make her an exemplary leader? Well if it doesn’t go without saying, Emma Watson has had a positive impact on tons of people, and continues to everyday. Through her action she is creating more leaders to help make their own voices heard. Since she is an advocate for individuality she is inspiring others who do not necessarily have the same views as her, but is still wanting everyone to let their voice be heard.
How does she impact my life? One day I hope to have inspired someone as much as Emma Watson as inspired me. One of her passions, feminism, is something that I feel very passionate about as well, and through her actions and words I have learned a lot about what feminism is and how it can be interpreted to others. She is a refreshing in terms of feminist role models in the country who are not necessarily political leaders. The United States has many political leaders who are feminists, and lots of celebrities who claim to be. However, Emma Watson is celebrity feminist who is practicing what she preaches and making a difference. She isn’t saying she is a feminist for fame, she is doing it because she is passionate.
Another passion of Emma Watson’s is self-love. This is something I have become extremely passionate about within the past year and moving to CMU. I think a large part of being happy, having a healthy lifestyle, and helping others is having a healthy relationship with yourself. Emma Watson gives great inspiration to others to allow them to love themselves.
I hope to continue my life and develop the leadership qualities that Emma Watson has. She is a great role model for men, women, and young children. I hope one day I can become a great role model too. I can do this by improving on the qualities listed above.
