Indicate a person who has had a significant influence on you, and describe that influence.
It was a fine windy day, with a glimpse of the smell of sourness of the weather.. I feel that something bad was going to happen, and it did. That day was the day that I will never be able to forget,my mother had told me that I have changed, in a bad way. My mother has influenced me in many ways. She taught me to change for the better and to never give up. Those are the two traits that make me who I am. I was like her little bird just hatched, and she would be a mother bird, always there for me and teach me many things. She told me that I have become rude, careless, and that I try to separate myself from the family. I did not realized that I had changed, but maybe I really did changed without knowing. If it wasn’t for her, telling me that I have changed, I might become a completely different person. So I decided to change. My mother had influence me in many ways, she taught me to never give up and taught me what is right and what is wrong.
My mother had taught me to never give up. It was on mid August when my AP Biology score has arrived. My hope was that I’d probably get a 2 or if I’m lucky, probably a 3. I hurriedly tear the envelope out, and scroll my eyes down to the box where it says score. At that moment, I literally feels like the world is crashing on little me. The tiny number with a font size of 12 writes 1. I totally freaked out. The first thing I thought about at that moment was, how am I supposed to tell this to my mother. She had told me to pass because the AP tests are expensive, and she did not want to waste money for nothing. Days passed, and I still don’t have the guts to tell her. Eventually, she found the letter and knew my score. The most amazing thing was that she did not scold me, or even show any disappointment. If I was her i’d be kind of dissapointed in my own daughter. She told me that it’s okay, she understands that this course

    A person that has made me see my values and passions more than anyone would be my highschool art teacher, Ms. Shriner. When I was in highschool, I was the secretary for the club she ran, DBYEA (Daniel Boone Youth Education Association). Although I had no interest in becoming a teacher, I loved what she stood for her and her community involvement. She made me and many others feel like we were not too young and insignificant to do something. We grew into a family, and were a part of something greater than ourselves.…

    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.…

    Me being the impatient but helpful person I am I said “yeah sure”. So I moved this little box that any kid in my class could have easily moved outside of her moving it herself. She stopped what she was doing at her cabinet and she showed me my final exam grade and it said 89% B+. A surprised me began smiling excited that I would pass the class with almost a B average for the year. She looked at me and said “T, you are smart. You have given me 40% effort and still somehow you still have managed to pass my class, I struggle dealing with students who are incapable but try hard every single day and you don't show me any effort and still manage to do have a decent grade…” “Why are you afraid? You are easily one of the most gifted students I have encountered and you show no effort?”. I just sat there lost and confused and wondered how she knew and wonder why I had wasted all this time not living up to my full potential, I had let my fear of failure keep me from being the best student I could be. I now look at it and regret the decisions I made in the past. Everyday i have learned to allow myself have higher expectations than I have before. There was a lesson in what my teacher said to me and I will…

    I remember staring at the wall with my face feeling hot and wet. The look of confusion and sadness on my father’s face brought tears to my eyes. This memory stained my room forever. This memory tainted my perception of the house. The house slowly transformed into a less innocent version of itself. The feeling of not wanting to forgive was the most painful of them all. I did not understand why she did what she did but it was a fact and we all have to accept facts. I knew that this was the event that would change my life forever. This made me want to leave the house that I so dearly loved before and make something better of…

    Ap English Reflection

    One of my more enriching experiences occurred during my freshman year of high school. For years, I strove for straight A's, and for years I received them. Over time I constructed a mentality, and underlying self-confidence that I would receive an A no matter what. Due to my over-confidence, I was under the impression that I would not have to put forth much effort; however, near the conclusion of the second semester, I had a B in Pre-AP English 9. Despite my last push to earn a 90% in the class with the concluding assignments of the semester, my grade was finalized lower than I had wished for. It felt as if a five pound ball of lead materialized in the pit of my stomach. This experience, at first, devastated me to the fullest extent, and I…

    When someone asks you the question, “who has impacted your life?” I’m sure we all can list many amazing people.

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.…

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.…
