When asked who was the most influential person in my life without any hesitation I knew it was my father. My father has impacted my life greatly and has helped me become the person I am today. He has helped me in many ways; he pushes me to be the best, he is always there for me, and he possesses good qualities that I try to obtain. My father is always pushing me to be the best. Whether it is with school, sports, or even a silly competition, he wants me to be the best. He pushes me harder when it comes to school. He believes that I have a bright future ahead of me, and wants me to make the most out of it by getting good grades and going to a good college. He has never let me settle for anything that is below average. He always tells me …show more content…
The quality that I admire the most about my father is how hard working he is. When my father was in high school he ran track. He worked hard everyday and night. He always fought the temptation of being lazy and giving into peer pressure. His hard work paid off and he made it to states his senior year. He also holds many records at his high school. If you ever walk through the hallway of Fairview High School, where the trophy case is you will see a picture of my father with his track records that still to this day have not been broken. His dedication has worn off on me with softball. Although, I do not possess any records, I still train hard in hopes of making my own records. I hope one day I can be the best, just like he was. My father will continue to make a positive impact on my life. His constant guidance and advice, always being there for me and his great qualities have influenced me and made me the person I am
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.
First, I would like to talk about my most favorite trait my dad has to offer. It is patience; he shows this by getting angry with me seldom. An example of this would be the first time he tried to teach me how to drive a stick shift. We were on the way home and I killed the engine in a very small dip in the road and he just laughed and said, "When you can get us out we can go home''.
Even if we haven't grown out of our clothes my dad always works to get us new ones. When ever we worry about the price of something my dad says "Don't worry about the price I'll pay for it". When ever we have to travel far for sports he gets hotel rooms so we can get a good rest before the tournament. My dad works so many extra hours to make me happy and give us a good time.
There have been many different situations and many different people make changes in my life, but not many making a big influence. I would say the person who has been the biggest influence in my life would be my mom. She has taught me many life lessons and she has cared for me since day one. Another one of the biggest influences in my life would be the game of softball. I started playing softball when I was about five years old.
In my past life time, there is a pursuing goal to lead me in going forward straightly. That is an influential person who teaches me how to take care of others, how to dig my own potential power inside and how to be a confident girl with lot of excellent qualities. That person is my aunt.
My father is one of the people who have had a great influence on my life. My father is the most hardworking and strongest man I know. I am not going to lie, it has been hard growing up seeing my father only 4 hours a day, at a point not even
Of all of the people I have encountered in my life so far, my father is the one to leave the greatest impact. I remember my dad would always ask me “ do you want to be the boss or be bossed? ” These word are what drives me to work hard and try my best in everything that I do. Maybe it was the fact that I have seen him grow so much over the years that his words and actions have affected me so much today. Through these words and actions I have been able to think of what i want to do and where I want to be in life after I graduate high school.
“Whom do I most admire” is always my father. Yes, I am Daddy’s little girl, but really the things that I admire about him, are things I seem to find admirable in others. I believe my father’s ambition, intelligence, system of beliefs, and zest for life, honesty, and fairness, made me who I am today. Although I find these to be important, they are also hard to live up to.
Other people such as my brother, my cousins, teachers, and family, they are all great influences and impact my life. Without them I would not be the person I am today. My brother has been a great influence on me and my cousins. I hope to be as great as an influence as my brother is to me to younger children.
In history, there’re so many people that have influence the world by what they did, Harriet Beecher Stowe is one of them. Those people who have impact on the society always share the same character trait, which is determination. People did not just achieved things by luck, but because they worked hard and were passionate about what they were doing.
For many people in around the world, who and where they are today can be largely attributed to significant individuals throughout history. Many of these individuals have had a positive impact on humankind and have played a crucial role in molding societies of today. Therefore, I feel that the most influential individuals in history are not the ones who have caused the most harm.
A person who has been a major influence on my intellectual life, has really helped shape who I am today, and helped me reach for my goals would have to be my paternal grandmother. She always encouraged me to do well in school and would tell me to focus on what I really loved and to push myself to achieve the things I love. She encouraged me to do well in school because it was her personality. She was a teacher for over forty years and she knew that getting the best education was the key to success, so that's why she stressed that point on me. Whenever I saw her or would talk to her on the phone, she would always ask how school was and if I were keeping my grades up. As her only granddaughter, I would always respond affirmatively because I knew
Another person who impacted me greatly is my grandfather. He was very supportive of my constant questioning, and he was always offering me an answer. He instilled a love of knowledge into me at a very young age. He taught me the importance of grades, but more than that he taught me to love the material- to love being taught. From making me form the habit of watching both the local and national news, to taking me with him to vote he made sure that I knew the importance of being both an informed and active citizen. He had a greater impact on me than any other person in my life.
By this time, 2013, the world has been blessed with a good handful of creative thinkers who have greatly contributed to their communities, thus, to the world. Nelson Mandela and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr are to excellent examples of outside the box thinkers who strove relentlessly to make a difference in the way society was thinking, and acting The purpose of this paper is to give information about these two thinkers’ contribution to society. To examine their personal, social, and political environments, and
I can honestly say the person that has influenced my life the most is my son. You would think it was the other way around, but no. My son is now 3 years old and my life before him was beyond empty and broken. In that present time I was careless, selfish and inconsiderate of everyone and everything around me. Hurting and longing for someone to love me. My life had no foundation, no structure. I lived day and night without a plan. Living life without a plan is Like driving a car at night in the hill country with no headlights. Your not going to get very far, so why bother to start the engine. I couldn't see where my life was going. The day I brought him into this world I had joy, hope and a future. That day for me was like Christmas day day to a kid. Pure excitement! I had him at the age of 27, for a long time I didn't think I could have children. I had been in a
