How To Write An Essay On A Trip To California

The most influential person in my life is my high school youth pastor at my church, Jeff Shicks. Jeff has always, and continues to be, there for me whenever I need him. He puts everyone else’s needs before his own, and is always willing to lend a hand. Jeff is definitely the most influential person in my life for three reasons, he offers valuable Christian advice rooted in scripture, he is selfless, and he provides me with a positive example of how a father should treat a daughter. He is the person I look up the most in this world.

This semester I had the opportunity to interview a person who immigrated to the United States. I interviewed my friends mom, Betty, who is from Greece. I have known this family for over five years but before this interview I had no prior knowledge about the country Greece. After this conversation with her I have a better insight on what it is like growing up there.

Which, in my case the one who has influenced me the most into becoming a significant person would be my grandmother. She doesn’t let her sickness get in the way of helping others and telling me to never give up on my education. She would always say “work hard on anything that you believe in so even when times are tough.” My grandma is always there if needed either by helping in a way to get things done or by keeping people company. She’s full with an outstanding spirit, never asks for anything in return after getting the stuff done. It comes to show that her actions speak louder than words could ever do, By hearing all of the good things she does for people makes me want to become a better person. Therefore, I want to be able to assist people with a wide range of situations that they are facing

I really enjoyed my interview with Mrs. Cashin. She gave me some ensigns on an organization that I never knew even existed. She had a very uplifting outlook on the organization. I also like the fact that as I talked to Mrs. Cashin I could relate back to some of the things I learned in class about non-profit organization. As well as I could see the potential that this organization had and I wondered if the members could see it as

When I was about seven years old, my family made the decision to move from the Philippines to the United States of America. This was a difficult choice to make for my parents, because my father could not come along due to the way immigration is set up in the USA. However, after my mother became an American citizen, she was given the right to bring my father over to the United States after nine long years. In addition, my two sisters along with my mother, were unable to see my father during those nine years. In essence, this was by far the most impactful event that happened during the early stages of my childhood, and this has given me the strength to persevere and mold my character.

Her strength and grit has always inspired me. This becomes especially true when I ask if there is anything that she especially wants me to mention; she says two particularly insightful things that touch on her experiences in life: “Being an immigrant and never living in my home country, I always thought I didn't have a place, really not from here or there. I have come to realize that your home is where you feel you belong” and “No matter where you've come from or what you've experienced, life gets better and you must hope and work for something better”. Through this interview, I have learned exactly what it has been like in my mother’s life and how she has used her strength to get through incredible

The person that has probably influenced me the most throughout my life is my best friend, Jalen Williams. We grew up doing everything together ever since kindergarten. We’ve only had two of the same classes, in kinder and first grade, but outside of school we would hang out 24/7. There was even a period of time when I had to live with him for two years because of financial issues. Jalen has not only taught me what a great friendship is, but also how to find the brightside in any situation.

My greatest and by far most kind, loving, empathetic, and influential hero is my loving Father, Randy Day. The reason I think of him in such a way is because he teaches some of the most valuable morals and life lessons to not only myself but to others by setting an example. Every day he goes around doing the best he possibly can while teaching others to do the same. It is because of his teachings that I am the person that I am today. I interviewed and i asked my hero of how he inspires and over all influences others and he stated that he taught through example and by showing his values and morals in life.

I cannot remember any person in my life that impacted me so much. If I had to credit any one individual who impacted my life it would have to be Jim Brown. Jim always preached about a code of ethics. He would often come to the high school and speak to us students. Some of our teachers would invite him to speak to our class. Whenever he came to speak he would always wear a suit. Blue or gray. He would always talk about this code of ethics. I was not sure what they were but I liked the respect he would receive from the community because he shared his belief in them so much. Well let’s began my story.

The topic I selected was the Anti vietnam war movement. I selected this topic because it was one of the most interesting topics available. Also this topic was a very important part of history. These movements helped make women a more important part of american history and proved that they weren't just supposed to be stay at home wives. This topic also was the one my grandma choose to be interviewed over because she knew a lot about the anti war movement. In conclusion this topic was the one I felt would be the best to learn about and see what it was like to be around during the Vietnam War.

I also benefitted greatly from the classroom activities such as the Tulsa Riot activity, the Titanic hypotheses, Tino’s interview, and many more. These acitivties made me realize that while history may be in the past, understanding it and knowing it really changes how you are in the present. The Tulsa Riot really taught me that just because it’s in the past does not mean that it’s no longer relevant, and to say that it’s not relevant is to say that the pain and suffering they went through is not relevant, and that is definitely NOT true. Tino’s interview also made me realize that I’ve been looking at the world through rose-tinted glass. Because I’m not on the battlefield myself and instead, I’m sitting comfortably in my own home, I didn’t think

When asked who has had a significant influence on me, I was forced to stretch my mind. There are so many people who have pushed me to become a better version of myself in every way possible, but there is one person in specific who comes to mind. My sister, Emma Riedl, has been a role model to me since I was able to walk (she taught me). She is my hero and best friend. Emma is has had a significant influence on me due to her drive and hard work and her ability to be strong and independent.

Many people know of the states making up the Southern region of the United States such as Alabama, Kentucky, and Louisiana, but few appreciate the culture and climate of Dixieland. Disregarding the atrocious history of the South, the modern day region is an interesting and culturally diverse place. Many people, like some in my hometown, go their whole lives without venturing the states adjacent to their own. However, when I got the opportunity to explore past Kansas’ border states, I happily took the opportunity.

Please excuse me if the following content seems out of sorts or out of basis with sound logic, I was still very young (of course) and not everything can be recaptured the way I would like to. All names will be used, not used, or even changed to protect certain identities and confidentialities of said person (s) in my stories. I will occasionally be jumping back and forth in some sections of my story to help better reflect portions of my life that were forgotten as of late, or to give inference, to better explain, and give more visual elements to events that were either too bland and vague.

Los Angeles is one of the most exciting cities in the United States. According to the Los Angeles post record tourist numbers in 2012, the city attracts 41.4 million visitors per year. Even though the traffic is terrible, Los Angeles is still one of my favorite places because of the many restaurants to dine in, and the many wonderful attractions.
