From the time we are born until we grow up, we find that someone or the other has been influencing our life in a big way. During our childhood, it is our parents. When we start going to school then it is our teachers and of course, the friends we make according to our tastes and liking.
Such influences give our life a sense of direction. We tend to develop due to that influence in a particular way. Sometimes that influence could be either good or bad for us.
As it is with everyone, my parents, my teachers and my friends made a big influence in my life. I had friends good and bad both. The bad friends taught me things that I regret even today. How I wish I should have never met them. If there is something that saved me from becoming worse, it was my mother’s influence. My father of course is my ideal. I always emulate him and try to be like him.
My mom introduced me to the bible for the first time. She invoked my interest by telling me some stories from the bible. She told me about Jesus. When I began asking too many questions, she gave me her own bible to read. She told me what I must read. She made me a kindly and a humane person. She made me religious.
My biggest influence in my life had been my mother. What is your biggest influence in life?

The biggest influence would have to be my mom. She's a stronge kind human being. I love her for that. No matter what happens shes always keeps going. When our family was going through problems she was always looking for the positives in life. A women with self value and respect.
