The Influence of Others

            In life people receive influence from everyone around them, but not all influences may change people in a major way. Specific people can have major influences in your life, they may be able to change the way you react or look at things.
          
            In my life my mother gives me a position influence which  helps me find my goal and pursuit them. She encourages me to do what ever it takes to achieve my goal, as long as i don't hurt anyone else in the process. She tells me stories where the main character seems to be in the same situation as I am in, in the stories the character resolves their conflicts and become happy. She also influences me because of her own actions. She has been the one who took care of both me and my sister ever since we were born. My dad wasn't always around so my mom had to become a full duty housewife. Through out the year of growing she has showed me how make a parent will sacrifice for their child. She makes me love my family more and learn to value my family and friends.

          On the other hand influence are not always positive, as a matter of fact they are usually negative. For me many time my friends are negative influences for me. They encourages me to do things i am not suppose to such as playing games on the weekdays, prank others, or not do work.  Even though they give me negative influence I may not always do what they say, even if i did i can not blame them for my actions. I can't blame someone who encourages me to do something when i know its not right but i still do it. It just like if i was successful i wouldn't blame my parents for it.
