Impacted!
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.
