My Role Model: St. Elizabeth of Portugal.

Saint Elizabeth of Portugal is my role model because she dedicated her life to the poor and was the peacemaker of her family and between nations.

She is royalty but that never stopped her from caring to all the people. When I first read about her I was shocked to know that she was a Princess that became a Queen later on when she married the King of Portugal. Usually when you think of someone with that status they would be someone who looked down upon people who were poor and would have no patience but St. Elizabeth wasn't like that at all.

She devoted her life to the poor, she spent her youth in devotion to God. She once said that God made her Queen so that she may serve others. She is my role model because she is a peacemaker that had the ability to influence people. I look up to her because she had deep faith and devotion to God.

The things she did may be considered as hard to do these days but I will do my best to be like my role model that loved and served the poor. This 2015 is a new year for all of us and one of my New Year resolutions this year would be to have peace in my life and work hard to have more faith and have a deeper connection with God.
