Who's had the biggest influence on your life?

I think my grandparents are my biggest influences. there are several traits in me and attitude that I believe I got from my grannies such as my partiality to social manners and graces. My grannies, especially my grandma, was very strict with the way we conduct ourselves in public. I also took after my grandpa's love for reading. I have tons of old and new reading materials, some of which were from him.

My parents were among the biggest influences in my life in many ways. They gave me a lot of good advice and guidance, along with encouragement to follow my dreams. While there were times when I was younger that I did not necessarily listen to their advice, it still paid off in the end. Also, there were some of my teachers that inspired me. They were more than just there to teach the subject. They inspired a love of learning and enthusiasm towards their course material. In many ways, their excellent classes shaped my life. Both my parents and certain teachers I had were those who shaped my life. I can only begin to guess where I might be in life without those influences. Still, no use thinking about what could of been, rather I am thinking about what I am.
