a person looked to by others as an example to be imitated. Someone who one admires greatly and holds good values. Michael Jordan is my role model because he's hardworking, charitable and a fantastic basketball player, just as I wish to be someday

Hello Jesús, To help you understand what a "role model" is, you might like to think of the English words, esteemed and admired. Also, you can break the two words "role" and "model" apart and examine each one separately: Role is someone's position or responsibility. Model is an example of something. So, a role-model is someone that shows a good example of a doing well in a specific position or responsibility. Hope that helps :)
