Without question, my parents have been the biggest influence in my life. For example, my Mom has taught me about my culture and heritage and has made me proud to be who I am. Both she and my aunt have helped me understand that it's important to understand and respect the fact that everyone is different and deserves to be treated equally, no matter what. My Mom has also shown me that it's important to be passionate and dedicated to personal interests and causes. She regularly sets goals for herself, and doesn't stop working at them until she succeeds in accomplishing them. On the other hand, my Dad has helped me become more patient and has definitely had a positive effect on my work ethic. He is one of the most hard-working people I know, and that has definitely helped me realize the benefits of never giving up and that one who strives to meet their potential will always benefit. Although his interests and mine are very different, I've come to realize how essential his influence upon me has been.
Apart from family, one of the people I associate the most with having a significant impact upon who I am today is a babysitter I had when I was young. His name is Pat Forde, and, now, he is a science fiction writer. He babysat my brother , sister and I for years, and he is probably to person who has most influenced my interests in life. He was the first person to introduce me to Star Wars , and he used to read books such as The Hobbit to me. Now, these are two of my favourite things. In addition, his passion for writing inspired me, and one of my goals has always been to become a published author.
I've been very lucky to be surrounded by many special people in my life, and these are three of the most influential.
