One of my major role models is Maureen Johnson. She's very courageous in a way. She isn't afraid to be herself. I wouldn't be surprised if her crazy antics have lost her some respect and/or opportunities in the literary world, but she does it anyway. And she talks about the issues she cares about and informs her fans about them and just generally seems like a really good person. I admire her a lot. In general, I admire people who are not afraid to be themselves.
Another one is Kristina Horner. She's always working on really interesting projects and she's clearly actively working towards her goals, unlike a lot of people (like me) who say they want to do things but don't actually do anything to make any progress toward accomplishing it. I admire that a lot and want to be more like her and make my goals happen instead of just sitting around waiting for them to happen to me.
I also really admire my best friend Jessie a lot. She is an incredibly driven and motivated person and she works really hard all the time, and I respect that. She also has a strong moral compass and is never afraid to stand up for what she believes in, which is something I need to work on a bit.
