Topic: An Influential Person.

Influential person is another person who develops, thinks and form this definition of an influential person there are many people who have influential in my life in cluding friends are family .Some had good influence in my life and bad influence in my life. Even if they didn't mean to hurt me and the one that has had the most influence in my life is my mother Olga Harris who passed away in 2010.From her I have learned not to let people walk over me because of my size and just live my own life and to be open minded.

One of the most important thing that got me about my mother is that she is a strong black woman who reared 4 children by herself without a father my mother was all we know, she was a mother and a father. My mother worked not because she had to but because she had us to take care of .I can say that I am happy that that I learned the value of hard work. At one time in my life in wanted to become a personal care giver, so I went to college where I accomplished my first goal. After I finish, I went on working at fort Jackson as full timer and also work at creative home care as a part timer. Then I lost both of my jobs, but I had learned from experience that if I won't something in life are become someone in life are want to reach somewhere in life are reach my goals in life it will take sacrifice of my time and energy. So I have to take the sacrifice and the energy of my time and went back to college to take up the career in criminal justice. I'm happy to say that I have found the career that makes me as my mother's makes her and that I have learned the value of hard work.

The next way my mother influenced me is teach me the value of beaning open mind. The things that she do and the hard work she do that's what makes her the woman that she is today and the day she die a strong black woman. My mother also encouraged me to be strong ,even in difficult times and even when other don't want to listen or don't have your back. My mother taught me the important of living my own life and not doing what people want me to do, without my mother influence ,I may not had the strength to live my own life. And I know even though she is gone. I know she looking down on me and I know she is proud of my accomplishment, even if she is not fully aware how much of a role model she plays in my life.

The most influential person in my life.
