Parents, teachers and friends have such an effect on a person’s life. He/she may allow things to be altered in his /her destiny. Parents give their children responsibility in so many ways. Responsibility is one of the first things that a parent has an instinct to do involving one’s child. Without the responsibility of parents, so many children would have gone down the wrong road of life.
Parents also have to discipline their children. Disciplining a child guides him/her into the right direction. Children learn at a young age right from wrong, and that allows each child to determine the type of destiny on desires.
Also, teachers help develop the character of each student he/she has encountered. The character of a person shows the type of adult one will become, whether the child is good or bad. Teachers do one of the most important jobs in the world, by giving an education to each student that enter their classroom. Each person who receives the opportunity to learn is saying, “I choose to succeed in my future.”
Last but not least, friends become a very important part of one’s life. So many people depend on their friends for advice, from relationships, to financial and spiritual. People allow their friends to sometime dictate every part of their life. Even if the decision that’s being made is good or bad, the person makes a decision based on his/her friend’s advice without considering the consequences. Friends can also be a support system. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on, or someone with whom to share a laugh.
In conclusion, as the song Dionne Warwick sings, “That’s what friends are for.” Throughout life there is always going to be someone or something that will have an effect on a person’s future, but as an individual, one has to make his/her own decisions. Friendship is the most wonderful relationship that anyone can have. Ideally a
