That person for me is someone by the name of Hector Molina. He has been there for me for more than six years of my fifteen year life. He’s helped me through a lot of troubles I’ve had when I was young, but he plays a bigger card than just that. He inspires me to be a better person as well as a thinker.…
Many people have had one person who has inspired them. They have changed their life very much the first day that they met. The person who has changed my life in the past couple years was my softball coach. She had us all work as hard as we could everyday. If we didn’t put in our best effort for a drill, she would have us start over and do it again. Coach Tash was motivated, committed, and helpful to everyone on the team.…
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’ve encountered one person in my life that I can truthfully say has impacted my life greatly. I worked with this individual for only a short time, but she was the only person to really reach out and make me feel valued and appreciated. My goal is to make children feel valued, appreciated, and confident. One thing that stood out to be about this individual was the endless support and empathy from them, not only did she sympathize for me, but she also guided me, and gave me an extra push to show me that life is so much more. I would hope that a child I will be working with would be able to think of me the same way, and I can impact someone on such a personal and professional…
Over the years that I’ve been at Burdick, I’ve gained many great friends, but I also lost a few. Only a few selective of them, I tell my secrets to. For example, Kaiden, Coreena, Dakota, Elysium, Joelle, Jose, and Isaiah. They’re the greatest friends anyone could ask for and have. They’re loyal, truthful, understanding, funny, witty, sarcastic, and just plain awesome. I have them to thank for making ordinary moments, extraordinary. They’re always there when I want to hang out or vent out my feelings. They put in that extra effort to understand me for who I am, not caring the slightest bit about my flaws and imperfections. And if I ever need to shed some tears, I know that at least one of them will be there to comfort me. There are times where…

Without these people you wouldn't be half the person that you are. I meet one person who I would I have to give all the credit to who I am as a baseball player and who I have become. This person has changed my life in more ways than I could have ever imagined. This person has taught me to always trust myself in every situation and to be self reliant.…
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…
Every single one them that has come my way with their problems or just need somebody to make them feel loved I have given them that. Because highschool hard and everybody need somebody to lean on when things get tough. They don’t need somebody who just patches over the moment but,somebody who can turn their life in a more positive direction. The girls on my team have come to call me mom as a joke because, I have motherly spirit. I wouldn't trade any of them for the world. As hard is it’s going to be to leave my team next year I hope that the love I have shown them and the love have shown can in some sense of the way change their life , my life, and other people life for the better. The world always could need a little bit more love and I feel our cheer team and the impact we have on each other could change it for the people we touch throughout our life. We have taught each other how to love and be loved. How to help others and to just how to live life a little happier. I can't wait to be able to touch new people life in college, at work, or wherever I may go. I may not be able to see how they impact the world but, I think they are capable of great things and I know that at some point their life they will remember and I will remember them and that's enough for me to say that they will infact show…
In my life, I have met certain people who have changed me for the better and have helped shape me into who I am today. A lot of those people have left but one that has always stood by my side and sticks out in my mind is my favorite person in the whole world, who happens to be my Papa. He has been there for me since day one, literally. He was the second person to hold me as in infant, after my mother. People like him don’t come around everyday. He is the most genuine person you will ever meet. A lot of people would speak this way about their relatives or friends but every person who my grandpa meets, leaves with a smile on their face.…
Something that changed me and let me be the person who I am today is friendship. Friends can raise you high above the skies. Or, they can pull you down under the ground.…
I never really had enough time at Broken Arrow or at Inola to leave my mark during my high school career. I only spent two years at each school. Despite that, I made really good friends within my first few months and that made adjusting to my new life in Inola so much easier. First was Garrett. I met him in sixth or seventh grade at Oliver Middle School in Broken Arrow through our mutual friend, Anthony. Garrett was extremely shy back then and hardly said anything at all to me, but by the time I had met up with him the day before school started for my junior year, he had become much more social and an even bigger joy to be around. Garrett was really the reason that I made the majority of the friends so easily.…
When someone asks you the question, “who has impacted your life?” I’m sure we all can list many amazing people. When people ask me that question one specific person comes to mind, my grandpa, Gordon Westendorf. He saw potential in me at a very young age. He would read to me for hours and hours to allow me to learn as much as i could. He never turned away from a teaching opportunity and always was willing to take time out of his busy day to talk to me or to help me with anything I need.…
Tyler Evan is one of my many peers who have made a huge impact on my life. I meet Tyler in April of 2017 and though I have not know him that the long the summer we spent together has changed a lot about how I see the world. He has opened my eyes up to a whole new social class that I was not familiar with. When I was growing up I had supportive parents and never had to worry about financial problems. As me and Tyler began to get closer I found out that my life isn't at all what most people have. Due to some circumstances his parents were very involved in his life, and had little to no money. After all he had been through and all the challenges he has faced , It still shocks he that he is as strong and independent as he his. For me I had always seen the people on the street who lacked money but they never really meant anything to. People who have little to no money can be just a great, and hardworking as those who are wealth.…
No matter how old we get we find that we always carry someone in our hearts that we revere. This is also true for high school students. To me, one group of people I admire are the Bridge Students. Every year one group of students gets chosen and exceed the expectations of them and do things that they are most likely the first in their families to do; these kids are role models. I have served as a role model in a many ways, as a girl scout, as a mentor, as an officer of multiple clubs, but only one way could make my heart feel as good as probably the humblest of all of my role model experiences, being a big sister. In my family were all very close and I may only have one sibling but I also have three cousins that call me their big sister. These kids for a long time were the reason I got up every day. I’ve always done my best to help them grow up right and making sure that they always knew I loved them. As a bridge student obviously I wouldn’t have the same kind of relationship with the summer academy students as I do with my family but I will care about them and their well-being the same as I would my family.…
