Do you have someone who has had a huge impact on your life? Maybe a family memeber or friend or anyone who helped shape who you are as a person? Maybe someone that turned you on to something that you now hold important in your life?

I would say my mother is a big influence in my life. She is a hard working women and growing up she did what she could do for me and as she worked many hours while i was growing up she was still a big part of my life and made me who i am today. I would also say my cousin and aunt are also a big part on my ife and lnfluenced me since i was a little girl and i still look up to my cousin as she is like a sister to me. She has made a big impact on me as she is a business onwer a mother of three and a working mom during the day and she is just an amasing women trying to help her family live. I would love to be like my cousin one day and own my own online business of selling things i make and things i like making.

I think the person who had the most influence on my life is my oldest and dearest friend, Gini. She got me interested in Star Trek, Elvis and my writing. She has been like a sister to me for about fourty five years now. She has a golden heart and is very witty. I thank the Gods that I met her.

Dear Third Million, I admire many great people like great scientists,politicians and other artists. But to get influenced by any one , one needs to watch the people whom he/she likes! Like many kids my parents, especially my father was my role model since my childhood and having grown up, having gained the Worldly knowledge I really started adoring him and I have got his influence today on my life. He was a man of principles, honest, sincere, truthful and always helping others. He never knew what "selfishness" was! He dedicated his whole life for our family and relatives and just because of him we the family members are well educated,settled and happy in our respective lives! We lost him some five years back, but his presence is always felt and I am highly influenced by him ! Though h is no more in this World, but for me he is a ever living Hero till I die! Thanks!

Among my family members, my father was the person who had the most impact on my life. He was the one who guided me through my life while a student, and also showed the way to lead on to my career. It was my father who showed me the way to the professional life I am persuing now. My gratitude to him always !

The biggest influence in my life is God because He is my creator. He is the one responsible that's why I'm here right now. He also knows how to solve my problems that's why He is my saviour.
