Definition Essay: What Is An Influential Person?

What is “Influence”? What is “influence”? What people mean when they say about some that he is influential? What are the criteria of this so-called “influential person”? I think of influence as a state more than an attribute. Influential people are always influential, they are not flickering lights neither do they flash for short moments, instead they light up constantly. Those people are persistent, endeavoring to help, achieve the thing that they do the best: impact and influence. The influential character emerged early in my career. As young as 5-year-old, influential trait germinated in me, and when I began to have my own solid knowledge, I enjoyed sharing it with people in my first school. I can still vividly see the young kid in his
red uniform holding the microphone for his first time. He commenced, struggled, and missed what he was revising for days. Can we blame him! A second passed, he tried to memorize every single word, then he began. Eloquently he preached, harmoniously the words flowed, together ostentatiously they danced… How exquisite! That was the first recollection of me, taking center stage; a 12-year-old memory, yet I can obviously describe every detail included. Everything around the kid was Lending an ear to his words. Astonished teachers, a proud smiling principal; she recommended him for the preach. Since then, I have been the broadcast presenter. I have left my middle school and joined the first STEM High School in Egypt. The influential trait did not stop; nevertheless, it has affected me deeper.
I started to prepare the program for the 10th grade broadcast, assigned roles for classmates who exceled in different aspects.
Who would preach, take part in the weekly play, present the news, etc. The atmosphere of the school has helped me a lot. The STEMs are boarding schools in Egypt where you can learn more about people because you are living with them. I have joined the school IT-team because of my experience and knowledge in technology where I was responsible for helping people who are new to using technology in learning. Fix problems with laptops, computers, projectors, etc. After a while I became the organizer of the team. I have dawned, appeared, loved people, and be loved. After just one year in the School, I ran for the vice secretary office in the school’s student union, and unsurprisingly there has been unanimous agreement upon me. I helped the secretary and we both carried out a lot of missions, starting a foundation for teaching STEM students different skills. Influence, my highest principle, has driven me to share my knowledge through this foundation. I have given an introductory course to the java programming language and I worked to look for people who have the will, desire and motivation to help their colleagues
succeed. That is how my highest principle “Influence” impacted me. Throughout my experience, I have encountered many people who have no passion to change themselves. However, I have never given up because if you have something that is deeply rooted in you, you can sway anyone to believe in. I derive great pleasure when I influence people positively, just like prophets, great politicians, and far-reaching inventors. They influence people in a way that helps them succeed and work for one another, and that is how I see my future.
