LEARNING TASK 3
Write an essay on “My Ideal Icon”

Human beings are not perfect. We all have some flaw that prevents us
from attaining the coveted title of excellence. It may be a personality defect or
a physical limitation. We all have something we are not really proud of.
Anything that makes us feel so uneasy that we lose all faith in ourselves if we
think about it.
While there are certain aspects of ourselves that we cannot alter, such as
height, intellect, race, or the size of our fingers, there are other aspects of our
lives that we can change, and these are the ones that really matter. We are
remembered for our virtues or vices, not for our height or color. As a result,
an ideal icon is someone who embodies all of the character qualities that
society regards as virtues.
One person comes to my mind when I think of an ideal icon is my self. I
know that he may not be the best icon I idealized and not the ideal icon of
everybody but I really believe in himself that no matter struggles that he
actually encountering in his life, he continues to resist and he continues to
fight for his dreams in life for himself and for his dreams for his family. He is
not as smart as others, he is not a perfect person, but one thing that I’m really
proud about him, he has a beautiful heart, a heart for himself and a heart for
his family. And He is my ideal Icon.
