In my 19 years of life, I've never heard anyone show appreciation for the amazing character that is Susie Carmichael. We first met her in season two of Nickelodeon's "Rugrats" and we followed her all the way until season five of "All Grown Up!," and all along the way she proves herself to be a great role model.

Susie is a foil to Angelica, meaning she is Angelica's rival and shows the babies they can stand up to her time and time again. Despite this, she is also shown to be a friend to Angelica and helps her out quite a few times. In "All Grown Up!" Susie's talent for singing is revealed and we see her constantly working to achieve her dream, something we should all remember to do.

Susie is portrayed as forgiving, strong, determined, kind, and so much more. We also see her as down to earth and humble, not allowing her father's status as "Dummi Bears" writer change her, which is not something we see in most people. As noted in the episode "Tricycle Thief" Susie can also admit when she is wrong and ask for forgiveness. Susie had thought Angelica stole her tricycle but her father had just put it under the porch, showing Susie's mean side when she send Angelica's favorite toy Cynthia into the sky on a balloon.

While Susie is not perfect, she is a reminder to remain humble, kind, forgiving, and to always admit when we mess up. The world would benefit if we all just tried to be half the person Susie Carmichael was.
