One of the biggest things that influenced me was MHS.This school influenced me because it is teaching me how to be a better person and giving a second chance for some people .This school is still doing a great job of giving me a better education and giving me responsibilities for life. If this school was not here I would not be in good shape school wise. Before I came here I did not do very well in school and needed help witch wasn’t given.
Life before MHS was not so great because I had difficulties in school and I did not do my homework. Also I got in to fights and cause trouble in school. I have no idea why I acted that way I was also disrespecting my mom and grandmother. During the school day I would go out with my friends and not cone back till 10:00 at night. My 7th grade year was the worst I got in the most trouble when I’m not even trying to.
Another big thing that influenced me was when my parents split up. This was one of the worst things that happened to me. When my dad left my mom didn’t have enough have enough money to take care of my brother and me alone, and because of my grandfather. So she took us to live with my grandmother who didn’t want to see us homeless. Loved both my mom and dad and never thought of them splitting apart. When this happened I cried and wished for my dad to come back. I had no male role model in my life until my uncle moved in. I didn’t know him that much until I start hanging out with him more, it was so fun to a have a person to hand around with.
The last thing that influenced me was my grandfather. A few years ago he passed away in an accident. I didn’t see often only on holidays until he got sick in the hospital and we had to go see him. He had disease in his lungs which cause them to fill up with fluids. A month later my grandfather died in a car accident. That is one of the reasons I live with my grandmother and to keep her accompanied.

Personal background starts off small, it changes and grows over time into something big, it grows into an identity. Walking down the hallway at school, seeing someone standing alone, my first instinct is to make conversation, compliment, or even just smile at him or her. This instinct came from someone once telling me an act so small could turn a person's entire life around. As a kid, reading encyclopedias about random topics, consumed my time. Many days were spent coming home to find an injured wild animal in my dad's arms waiting to be saved. My dad would sit outside and draw animals, trees, and anything else he saw. Nothing excited me more than trying to draw whatever my dad drew, and as good as he did. Any assignment that was handed to…

An event which helped me realize this was the death of my grandpa who lived in Ukraine where my family is originally from. The amount of times I had seen the man I could count on my fingers.

The most influential experience in my life has been, participating in giving back to the homeless during the Christmas holiday. During this experience, I've had the pleasure of feeding the homeless and giving Christmas gifts to the less fortunate children. This influenced me to want to help others and to be more humble. When I was participating in helping others I felt that I was making a difference in my community. Instead of being selfish I set time aside to help the ones who really need helping. While helping the less fortunate I learned that I would be selfish if I did not stay humble, I have learned that helping others is a part of what I want to do for as long as I can. In my experience of all the people that I've seen, I have realized…

People often do not realize that the events that go on in their lives impact them in a big way. Some events can be major while some can be something as small as having a verbal disagreement with one of your co-workers. Either way, any small or large event that happens in your life ultimately reflects how you decide things for yourself or how you view certain problems.
