That is very true. I admire J.K. Rowling as a role model also. She is a very good person to look up to. Congratulations Jo and Kelly!

Ok maybe if I wanted to be a writer. I couldn't see myself wanting her as my role model though.

Being a boy, I can't say if she's a suitable role model for girls. But I do think Jo is a serious role model for everyone period. Go Jo!
I should write as good.
