A Person That Has Influenced My Life

The person that has influenced my life is my dad because he is the one that get to know me best and is also the one that I see the most and have known for a long time. He always stands by my side, and whenever I fall down, he encourages me to stand up by myself and on my own feet. My family is not a wealthy family. Therefore, my dad tries to save single penny he earns from work to buy anything that I need, and he always encourages me go to school because he knows that the value of education will determine the future of the person. As a result, I admire him as a great person and have thought that my dad is really superman. My dad has a huge impact on the way I become a person today. He has influenced my life by teaching me the lessons and showing me the right behaviors and wrong behaviors.

My dad taught me the most important lesson: how to be a man. I still remembered the day that my father sat next to me and said that "Hey son, the most important think to help you become the successful person and the helpful person is your honesty. Never lie to anyone and never lie to yourself". After saying that, he slowly explained the value of honesty. He showed me that every bad situation in the world began with a lie. When a person steals something, he lies to the law, or when a husband cheats on his wife, he lies to his wife. My father often tells me that being a man means facing the truth. I always think back on those words when I get into trouble.

My dad's teachings were a cure for my selfishness. He taught me to consider everyone as a part of my family and taught me how love people by sharing and giving. I believe that the biggest fantasy in live is to buy someone something he really needs and watch his facial expression. When I was a kid, my dad and I used to go to Chuck E. Cheese to play games. He always bought me some food after leaving that place. One day, on the way home, we saw a homeless man who said that he had not

    Three things my parents have taught me to value are our integrity, hard work, and love. I choose to live with integrity because that’s what my parents have taught me. If I didn’t have the integrity I inherited from them, I do not think I would be a successful student. Because I have integrity I choose not to cheat, or be dishonest with my professors. My parents have also taught me to value hard work. One thing I will say that I love about myself is my work ethic. I work extremely hard which is why I am successful at pretty much everything I do. I always want to be the hardest working person in the room, whether it’s the hardest working student, employee, daughter, or volunteer. Lastly, my parents have taught me to love everyone equally. This helps me in college because when I see students who are alone, I’m not afraid to conversant with…

    My dad wasn't always the greatest; he lived his life with regrets, and spent more time wishing he had made better choices instead of fixing the ones he wronged. From that I learned that you live life with no regrets because at some point you wanted it, and even if the decisions made previously were not the best you can fix it. My mom tried so hard to be that typical mother who could give her kids whatever they wanted, but how can you give your kids the materialistic things they want when you're not even home to give them what they need? Your love. From this I learned don't get lost in giving others what they want, and overlooking what they need. Sometimes all you need to do is give someone the time of day to know you care, and that will be enough.…

    What non-fiction character can do all this? I ask you. Have you ever wanted something more? Ever wanted to make your life memorable or meaningful. You can. Why can't you do it? How many people alive today havn't been bored. Not your normal everyday bored. Not Short term bored. Bored with everything. Bored that everyday you have to get up and do the same thing. For hours. Hours piled like bricks on top of each other. These hours fueled by caffeine and fed by sleep. Lacking in excitment and spontanicity. Four walls. A floor and a roof. Yeah! Even when everything is perfect; even when you have nothing to worry about, even when your present situation is admirable at least, you may still be bored. “You can't become a decent horseman until you fall off and get up again, a good number of times.” Says he. “Oh, and as for the scars, broken bones, aching limbs and sore back I consider them just gentle reminders that life is precious - and that maybe, just maybe, I am more fragile than I dare to admit.” He said. And he quote “There's life in a nutshell.” Bear Grylls. As if to say it doesn't matter. As if to say it doesn't matter when you fall as long as you can make it back up. You can't feel good without bad, in other words.…

    My grandmother taught me how important it is to tolerate people and certain situations. She told me showing people respect will get you a long way in life, as well as seeking help in hard times and facing problems instead of running away from them. Because of this, I try to see the good in people and over look the bad. When I have a problem I think of ways to solve it. When I cannot find a solution I ask for help before things get worse.…

    Let me tell you about a man that raised not only me but my father. I still have memories of the first day that I met him on August 20, 2001 on a summer day. In which we had the longest conversion I ever had. Many people have their own idol and all want to be like them in certain ways by dressing up like them, having fame and money but I think different to all of them. I admire this person because he is thankful for everything that he has in life. He never complained about how his life turned out to be instead, he’s happy and grateful for what he has and what he accomplished; this man is my grandfather.…
