From my earliest childhood, my role model has always been my beloved brother, Boromir. Boromir has always been brave and courageous and strong and kind and noble. He has been kind to those who have needed it most and has helped any and all who needed it. He has never required anyone to be beholden to him, but has always been the picture of nobility and gentlemanly behaviour. I have striven to be as kind and noble as he to all whom I meet.
His warrior courage and spirit have always inspired me to do better with my own training in the arts of war. It was his guidance that led me to strive earnestly to do better with my studies, be they of literature or of warfare.
My brother has given me the best of himself as a model for the man I wish to be. If there is anyone upon whom I have sought to become more like, it is he, my dearest brother Boromir.
