The Impacts That Made Me Who I Am

Despite only being in high school for two years, the friends that I have made have greatly impacted who I am as a person. Whenever I am struggling, my friends are the first people I turn to for advice. I learned from them that I always put others first even when it may cause a large amount of stress later on, am very talkative about the things I am

In high schools all around the world there are students that might have a lot of friends or just a few, and it is the same with friendships too. Those friends and friendships could turn out to be negative or positive, depending on their impact on a student growing up. Like how a student could get peer pressured by his friends into doing drugs or underage drinking and then grow up being an alcoholic or a drug addict. A good situation could start out with a student that is challenged by his friends to do better in school and grows up to be a successful pro sports player or a successful business man who is very wealthy. Friends do have a great impact on who you turn out to be.

Friends can help people in multiple ways, but the main way is it gives people life skills.

Two significant people that made an impact for me are my parents because they have always worked hard to give us everything we need. If it wouldn’t have been for my parents guiding me to be better than others I might have Joined a gang or been under bad influences. There are two significant events that really impacted me one was a tragic event that happened to my neighbor/friends, who lost their mother after she died for reasons that I was too young to remember. After watching them live their lives without mothers I couldn’t imagine how hard it was for them. The Second event is a shooting that happened at home while we were gone and my brother wasn’t with us, my family and I were terrified until my mother received a call from my aunt who lived nearby, who had my brother for several hours. After, that moment my family had begun to feel relieved and learned to not let any moment we spend together be worthless. If there would be one thing that I would change from my past it would be surrounding myself from kids who instead of helping each other rise,

As a child, I felt that having friends was the most significant cause in who I am today. Throughout my life I have had many friends who have influenced me in numerous ways, but now most of them have become distant acquaintances. Although the majority

During my middle childhood the pivotal influences on my development were participation in extracurricular activities and a love of reading. During middle childhood my parents enrolled me in ballet classes, various sports, and I competed in rodeos. These activities contributed to my social identity and social development. Through my extracurricular activities, I became aware of multiple aspects of my identity. For example, I knew to behave differently in my ballet classes than I might at a rodeo. I also learned to befriend and accept different types of people through my exposure to these different environments. These processes helped me to acquire appropriate social behaviors and positive group identity (Hutchison, 2013). When I was 9 years old I moved to another school, and though my parents re-enlisted me in ballet and sports, I had a difficult time fitting in. During this transition I picked up a love for reading. I thoroughly enjoyed any book assignments at school, and I was constantly asking my parents to buy more books or to take me to the library. I believe this love for reading greatly influenced my intellectual and cognitive development, as I was put into more advanced classes at my new school and did exceedingly well on tests and assignments. I scored especially well on reading tests and could read at a high school level in 5th grade. While I had positive group identity earlier in middle childhood, I believe my reading may have been excessive concerning my social

How do the influences from friends affect the choices we make in life? Both good and bad, these influences are the main reasons we make every choice we do in life. Our friends can cause us to make some excruciatingly good choices. On the downside unfortunately, our friends can cause us to make some tremendously bad choices. In the end though, these choices tend to add together and make us the people we are today.

Many people have influenced me to be where I am right now, these people include my mother who pushes me to my potential, especially at the times when I need it most. Another great influence I go would be my own athletic trainer Jaime, who has not only taken care if me my four years of high school, but has showed me what it would be like to be her, and what it takes to get to that point. Without Jaime as one of my major influences, I most likely would be undecided and not know what career path I wish to pursue. I have very few friends in which I can consider close, my best friend Deanna is without a doubt one of the top in my life, she has been with me through everything and makes sure to check me when I am slacking. I am very grateful for

Your friends impact your emotions and your laughter, they make jokes and laugh with you building context on your personality and making a base connection with you. Friends to me are the support beams in a bridge, when I have no one to look to I always know that their right there helping me up. Friends have impacted the way I think and what sports and activities that I do. Their similar to you in ways and extremely different in others, they help shape and form the way your view life as a

Some of the things that have shaped me into the person that I’m today are my family, the people that I grow up around, some of the events In my life. There are many events that have shaped me in the the person that I’m today. Also the people that I have grown up around has dramatically helped shape me into the person I am. My family is one of the main things that have helped shape me into the person I’m today. One of my early memories are of my mom working and going to school at the same time to take care of eleven kid son her own. We also used two have a garden and we would go there everyday to take care of the plants. But my mom started to work all of the time so we were no longer aboul to go there so me and my sister made a garden in the back yard so that when my mom had time we could still garden. That is why one of my hobbies is gardening.

Not only do they impact my life, but they show me some of the most important values life has to offer. Whether it's a friend I just met or one I’ve had for years, each one brings something to the table. With that said, my closest friends, both guys and girls, teach me everyday the true meaning of friendship; that everyone needs to laugh, to trust and be trusted, to be that support system, and to understand that everyone has their own story. Each day is a journey that begins with ourselves and the people around us. We then take it upon ourselves to grow and develop to whom we become. As the Captain of my lacrosse team, I’ve learned the importance of being that friend and leader. For example, I find that during our toughest games, it’s my job to help each player trust and believe in one another, to encourage and challenge each other, bring excitement, and sometimes even throw out some funny jokes to loosen up the air. It makes us powerful, memorable, and an unstoppable team. It may not be about winning or losing, but instead the ability to embrace what we love, learn from each other, or the effort we

History shapes how the world is today. People learn from their past mistakes, and their outlook on life changes. Our past creates who we are as a person, a nation, and humankind. The person I am today is not the same person someone would have met a year ago, I am stronger and a better person. One event that has changed who now I am today was my mom and I started to go to church again.

I feel my friends and family have had a good influence on my life. They have influenced me a great deal. I tie friends and family into one group because I feel they both did the same thing for me, and I see my friends as a family and family as friends. My friends, although they have changed a ton in my life, have been great in helping me in my development. They have helped me a great deal in my life but they were the ones who first started me drinking and using tobacco. So I guess they weren’t always good. But I don’t think anyone can go through life without friends to help them along the way. You always

My mother impacts and influences my life, still to this day. Since early “childhood,” I have had a special bond with her. And, in my “teen” years, I can remember certain aspects of how she raised me. Even, in “adulthood,” she continues to be an inspiring influence in my life. Even though she will not be here forever, my memories and reflections of how much she has contributed to me, lives inside me, and will continue to impact and influence my life, forever.
