Everyday I am influenced by their leadership and commitment to Van Horn. It’s been difficult because I’ve never had to guide my classmates and ensure that their experience in an activity is positive. As well as making sure they don’t get off topic, which they tend to do on a frequent basis. I hope I have influenced them nearly as much as they have influenced me. Through National Honor Society I have become closer…
The story of Dorothy is truly inspiring. Through the last large portion of her life, she wanted to spend it on helping others. Dorothy neglected the fact that she was on a death list. Most people would stop what she was doing right then and there. She kept going. Dorothy knew that there were people out in the rainforest that needed help and she risked her life everyday to support them. She thought of what the other people needed instead of what she, herself, wanted. Her story influences my life because I see how much God has worked through her and how big of an impact it made on other people. She showed me how faith can be such an important part of a person’s life. My faith life is inspired by her. I saw how big of an impact having faith can have on so…

I did not know another person could have made such an impact on my life, especially to the extent of making me the woman I am today. My mother, Rosie Bush, inspired me to become the best person I can be. She taught me to never settle for less no matter how hard times may get and to continue to push forward regardless of the obstacles. Most importantly, she instilled in me the importance of family.…

Asoka was one of the greatest rulers of ancient India. He was the grandson of Chandragupta Maurya of Magadha who established the first Indian empire. Chandragupta reigned for twenty-four years before relinquishing his throne in favor of his son, Bundusara (Asoka's father), who left no noticeable mark upon the empire. Asoka was born in 304 B.C. and was known in his youth as Canda Asoka (the fierce Asoka) because of his aggressive nature.…
My stepbrother going to prison has had a big impact on my life and has helped me see that knowing what you want and need to do in order to achieve your goals is very important so that you have something to look forward to and strive to be. It has helped me see that I want to be a lawyer or a social worker to prevent these types of cases from happening and to help the people…
A person who made an enormous impact on my life was my eighth grade math teacher. I'd had failed my seventh grade TAKS test and had to take a second math class for the year. I was extremely furious and disappointed that I had to take yet another math. I was and still am terrible at math, which just made the situation even worse. Within the first week, I kept failing my assignments, which was making my grade plummet. I came to my regular math teacher for help for my assignments to raise my grades. However, the way the teacher was explaining the math made absolutely no sense to me in any way. Fortunately, when I came to my TAKS math teacher for tutoring, the way he explained to me actually made things much more simpler in my work. Things started…
Laura is probably in a worse financial strain than anyone I know, but she shows that there is beauty and acceptance in her poverty and that’s what makes her happy. She can turn the worst of situations into something fun and meaningful. For instance: after a club on one of the school days she asks me if we can stop at the vending machines on our way to the bus stop. Knowing her situation I offered to buy it for her, “Sure, I have a dollar do you want it?”…
Finding out my best friend was suffering from leukemia transformed me from an oblivious caterpillar into an attentive butterfly. It made me stronger morally, and developed in me an awareness of others’ situations. Most importantly, it led me to determine how I want to make a change in the world: by providing proper healthcare, provide clean water, and reduce poverty in impoverished…
