The people that has have influenced me the most are my parents. My parents are always there for me through thick and thin. They have taught me right from wrong and have guided me the right way throughout life. They have influenced me so much. Because of them I am a responsible young adult. I take responsibility for my own actions. They have taught me to care for others. There is a saying they used to always tell me. “Do to others as you would have them to do to you.” This saying is from the bible in chapter Luke 6:31. My parents have also greatly influenced my religious and political views, but I will not go into that. My parents also taught me to treat others equally because everyone has feelings and we are all the same on this inside. I don’t make fun of people or judge them by the way they look or how they act. They have also told me what not to do in life. For example, don’t drink, don’t smoke, don’t do anything illegal. These things can most of time ruin your life. I am so glad they told and taught me about these things at a young age because if they didn’t I might not…
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. My sister has always reminded me that no matter how difficult the world is we will make it. She has never allowed me to give up, and has always been that motivational voice in my head that tells me to push forward. Last year, my sister achieved her goal of going to college. She turned to me, and said that I am next, words that are forever in my mind.…
When reflecting on personal influences in my life, no one has had a greater impact than my father. He was and continues to be a positive role model as a father, a husband, a grandfather, a devout Christian, a carpenter and an artist.…
My father is everything. He is my father, he is my hero, he is my bestfriend, and he is my inspiration. If I one day am able to be half as strong as my father has been I will be happy because his strength is what pushes me to want to succeed. His perseverance drives me forward and his support makes me feel…
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 claim to owe most of my success to my teachers professors, and my parents, the ones who taught me everything. Before today, I never realized that I had to thank my father for so much of my success. Without his interference, I probably wouldn't have gotten into the best University in the country, learned from the best teachers in their fields, or even gotten out of Punchbowl, Sydney, home to many crimes and violence. Twenty years ago he made sure that I was number one, the best at what I do. Then he gave the area and my innocent mother the best reason in the…

My father made an impact on my decision to be a perfectionist in every thing I do. He taught me to not let aspects such as a health issues, unfair opportunities, or people not excepting me; stand in my way of being successful. My father was a black man that was a great dad, a lead accountant at a prestigious bank, had custody of his daughter, acquired several cars, and involved in the community. He did not let his above the knee amputation, lupus disease, heart failure, and single parent issues interfere with his success. I learned acceptance from him because he kept his head held high through all he endured. I learned strength from him because through all his health issues he remained strong and kept…
A person who has had a significant influence on me in my life would have to be my former foster mother, Miss Barbara Pratt. Ms. Pratt was a foster mother to many children before myself and she had had wonderful success with most of them. I had been in an extremely abusive relatives home before I had been placed in Ms. Pratt’s home. When it was discovered that I was in an abusive home I was first placed in a group home in Cincinnati. Social Services worked very hard to find me a home that would help me adjust to a ‘normal’ life as quickly and easily as possible. They found the home my older sister had been placed in, they contacted Ms. Pratt and I was placed in her care.…
Third, I am influenced by the people around me. This includes my family and friends in everyday life. My father influenced my career path in the business field. My grandfather influenced my great self confidence. My grandmother influenced my organization skills. My mother influenced my financial skills and my ability to take care of myself. My big sister influenced how I study and the importance of school. My little siblings have influenced me to have fun sometimes, instead of always being serious. These are what influences me in life.…

Not only his hard work but also his determination to give us a better future, and education, impacted me to continue working hard to achieve something he wished to do. I still remember when he used to tell me, “Study, make something of yourself; I don’t want…
