Who Do You Admire and Look Up To?
Judy Moody's role model is Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to get a medical degree and become a doctor, back in 1849. Judy wants to be a doctor herself one day, just like Elizabeth Blackwell. Because of this, she likes to collect Band-Aids, has sent away for a Hedda-Get-Betta doll, and is always using her little brother, Stink, to practice doctor techniques, like listening to his heartbeat with a stethoscope or making fake casts. Think of someone you admire and hope to be like someday. The person can be someone from the past or from the present. Research and find out as much as you can about that person, and list the reasons why you admire him or her. Then write in your journal a paragraph about how what you can do to be more like the person you admire.
