Who was the most influencial person in your life and why was that ?

Despite the fact that I am grown up now, I still think that the most influential person in my life has to be my mother. My mother is the most influential person to me because she taught me how to me a mother because of the wonderful example that she gave when I was a child. In addition to that, she has been very influential to me because of the fact that she was able to be a strong mother when she became a widow with three children at a relatively young age.

For the most influential person in my life there is a tie for first. My parents, my Uncle George, and Mohammad Ali are the winners. My grandparents raised me. They rewarded me for passing from grade to grade in school. They did what parents do. But they influenced me because to them, money was no object when the unfortunate needed anything. Whenever somebody needed a loan, my grandmother and grandfather would loan money to them. My grandmother also donated money. She donated to Boys Town. Thus, I also like to donate money and give to those who might need it. My grandmother was also a babysitter. She had lots of kids around the house and sometimes took them on trips to African Safari. I have been a childhood tutor. My uncle George tried to steer me to God. His major influence on me was when I visited his house. He had bookcases around his desk and he was always studying the Bible. Now I am a book worm and scholar. I have roomfuls of books, I like to do research and write. When I was in grade school, Uncle George tried to get me to use his old typewriter because I might need it some day. I never used it but now since I'm a writer, I type a lot. I did take his advice and take a typing class in high school. I was in junior high school when Mohammad Ali became famous. Although my father was a boxer, I had to learn how to fight on my own. When Ali became famous, I taught myself to fight like him. His biggest influence on me though is how he practiced hard to win. I learned from Ali that if I studied hard in my math, I would be good. Now I'm a math tutor and I've helped people pass their math classes and tests.

as we grow older the people that makes a big impact in our lives changes. people that stands as our idols. when i was younger it was my grandfather, he is the jack of all trades as i believe. i felt like he can do anything and he had taught me a lot specially on renovating our house. to paint to fix when the wall has holes and a lot more. as years goes by, i was at the point where i dont have anyone to look up to. but then terminator came out har har har and robocop as well. plus rocky too. i became focus on imitating them so i go to the gym and enrolled myself with boxing. i did not compete but it was fun learning those moves. when i was bullied at school i know how to defend myself. when everyone knows how i handle fights they invited me to join their gang. but i am not for those things. now that i am a father already i want my son to be proud of me.
