Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation is probably one of the most inspirational fictional characters on TV. Her strong will and undeniable love for everyone around her makes her an amazing human being and role model for women. I personally believe we should all try to be more like Leslie Knope, and these are nine reasons why.
1. Leslie always stands up for what and who she believes in. Her strong female role models are extremely important to her, and she’s willing to put them ahead of anyone – especially a stupid boy.
2. She knows how to get her point across and will never back down from a fight. She’s a strong-spoken individual.
3. She can acknowledge when something goes wrong (even when it started out really great).
4. Leslie is a huge supporter of women’s rights.
5. She tells everyone how she feels and doesn’t care who knows it.
6. Leslie still knows when to relax and play it cool.
7. Leslie is amazing at supporting the people that love her…
8. … while also supporting her own endeavors.
9. Leslie Knope is an inspiration to all — even herself.
We can all become better versions of ourselves, and the best way to do this is to become more like Leslie Knope: a passionate individual dedicated to the things and people she loves. Stay amazing, collegiettes!
