I think role models for today’s youth are shifting a lot compared to when we were growing up. You’ve got people like Emma Chamberlain or Marcus Rashford who are using their platforms to be real, not just famous. But I also think there’s a rise in young creators and entrepreneurs who show that it’s possible to build something on your own terms. I’ve seen a lot of students look up to people who openly talk about how to balance school and side hustles, especially when they’re trying to earn money as a student. It’s inspiring to see role models who aren’t just about fame, but about being resourceful and independent. That kind of mindset feels way more relevant for this generation.

Nowadays young people admire those in whom they see themselves, and modern idols often take advantage of this. They can be completely different in public, but if they have a wrapper close to the majority of young people, anyone can become an object of imitation
