Dora The Explorer

During my childhood days, I love to watch Dora The Explorer. Indeed, it was my favourite cartoon and Dora was my favourite character and is still is till today. In this cartoon show, she is a very determined and successful person. To me, she is the one who gives young girls to thrive in life. At the end of every episode of Dora The Explorer, Dora will be successful in achieving and getting to her destination. She also has many other desirable qualities and character traits:

1. Dora the Explorer is helpful: Dora the Explorer works with her backpack, map and trusty pal Boots in order to help others who are in trouble. Her adventures typically revolve around aiding others who have gotten into some sort of trouble - she and the rest of her team quickly come to a plan of an action to assist whoever is in a jam.
2. Dora the Explorer is courteous: Instead of fighting with Swiper the Fox when he tries to take something that he shouldn't, Dora the Explorer simply tells him "no" and he respects her so much that he listens. These good manners are often not seen by children today as many shows feature violent or aggressive characters.
3. Dora the Explorer is a risk taker: Dora the Explorer isn't afraid to venture into territory in order to help her friends. However, she also takes smart risks, working with the rest of her team in her adventures instead of trying to solve tough problems on her own.
4. Dora the Explorer is loyal: Dora the Explorer has strong relationships with her family and her many friends. She takes great pride in these relationships and is always looking out for her family members.


I think I do have some similar character traits as Dora. However, what I am concerned about is the differences. Dora is a risk taker. She’s not afraid to take risks even though she knew that her actions may bring her to failures. She’s brave and determined with her decisions. She takes the risks to cross the different boundaries and she is also brave to face Swiper The Fox every time she meets it. Being a risk taker, Dora would be able to face all challenges and achieve her goals. Therefore, she is one of my cartoon idols. I would like to be like her, not being afraid to try and face challenges and new things in life.
