The Essay Video

I chose to write about this video because I think it portrays a good point. This video says to me that you should state your ideas no matter how ridiculous or unrealistic they may seem. You could have a great idea that needs to be shared.  Also, don’t let anyone tell you that your ideas are stupid. When the girl in this video is talking about the cell phone, everyone in her class laughs at her. Although what she was saying was brilliant and true, the kids in her class didn’t believe in her ideas. You shouldn’t shatter any idea, it might turn out to be the best idea in the world. 

Outside of parents, who has influenced your life more than anyone else; who had an impact on your life and what was it about that person that meant something to you?

Well, obviously my parents have influenced my life. But, besides them I would have to say my brother. Although he isn’t actually my brother, I think of him as one. I have known him for so long, and have grown so close to him, that I think of him as my brother. I first met him through swimming. He was my coach when I was younger. We have grown so close since then. He has helped me through good and bad. I tell him everything and have total trust in him. One specific example is that he was helping me and my friend with algebra. We were both having trouble so we went to him for help. He was very helpful and I learned a lot from him. Whenever I seem sad, he’ll ask me what’s wrong. He is the person that has impacted or influenced me the most. Anyone that knows him knows how nice and helpful he is. Whenever I need a helping hand, I know he will be right there.

I wonder where I’d be without my family and friends. They are so important to me and I think my life would be a lot different without them.
