DAVID
My role model is David the son of Jesse.
A young boy that with only a sling and 5 stones he was able to slain the most formidable philistine giant from Gath in broad daylight(11 century BC)
From a shepherd rising the ranks to the second king of the ancient Israel and Judah uniting all tribes of israel under a single monarch.
David is also an important figure in Judaism,Christianity & Islam.
The story of David and Goliath is my favourite(1Sam17)often used to illustrate themes of faith,courage and triumph of the underdog.
