The most influential person in my life would have to be my sister. We have watched each other struggle and we have watched each other triumph. Growing up, the odds were always against us.

She turned to me, and said that I am next, words that are forever in my mind.…

I have had multiple influential people in my life, but I'm not going to say my parents or a great teacher, but rather someone closer to my age. Andrew Calton, a good friend and great influence. Andrew helped me “get back on my feet” when I was scared to kayak. I would stay on the lake and not go on rivers because I had no confidence in myself. Late at night he and Jack White, another good friend, came to my cabin at camp and told me there was a spot on a trip and he wanted me to go. I went on the trip and the fact that they wanted me to go boosted my confidence. We went on harder rivers I had never been on and I did not swim, or bail out of by boat once.…

I do not know how to pick a person who has made the most impact in my life. There are many people who have done little things to shape me up and helped me guide where I’m trying to go right now. I definitely can not say that this person has made me who I am today because I honestly think that I’m too young to have a fixed personality. As I keep growing, I want to thank my parents who have supported me from the day I was born. My dad has gone through an unbelievable period of hard work to provide for our family. But I also want to give some extra credit my mother who has gone through extraordinary pain to bring me into this world. It is very difficult not to write about my parents because they have probably made the biggest impact in my life. However, if I had to write about someone who has made an impact on me at the moment, it would have to be my uncle, Irfan Bukhari. Throughout this essay though, I am going to call him Uffi Mamu because that is what I and all my cousins call…
