Over the years that I’ve been alive, I’ve had a lot of people influence me and how I live my life so obviously, it’s going to be hard to pick a single people to write about in this paper. I’ve had numerous family members, friends, schoolmates, teachers, and even college professors who have made an impact on the person that I am today. All of these people have had a major impact on my life somehow in some way and I believe they deserve credit where credit is due. Even if these people aren’t around me 24/7 like they used to be, they’ve still found a way to make an impact on me. The first and probably most important people who had shaped me as a person are probably my parents. I know this just from being alive, and this statement is a true fact; no person is anything without their parents. Parents are supposed to raise and teach you how to be a good person and make the best decisions for yourself. And I’m pretty sure that’s what they did for me and a whole lot more. My parents have not only taught me how to be responsible but they always tell me the right from wrong and good from bad. Like most parents, they do their jobs very well. Not only that, but they have also taught me to want to be successful in life. My dad has had the most influence on me in this category. Mainly because I want a lot of money when I grow up and settle down with a family, I will always use my dad as a person to look up to. Not only because I want his job, really, really badly, but I also want his work ethic. I know my dad is a hard worker and I know that he has never really taken the “easy-way-out” approach to any task that he is attempting to complete. I know that he always works very hard on everything and that he will always help someone if they need it. All in all, I believe that my parents have had the biggest impact on my life for how they have raised me, how I learned to look at life. My parents have, in short, made me who I am today. Along with my parents, I have other close

    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.…

To this day, at age 29, these experiences and people have all influenced my development as a child and adult, creating the person I am today.…

    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…
