..4 TffiOST IKTPORTAfHT ITFLUEhICE IH HY LIFE

The people in my life, I ac{ually cannot say Gnorrgh abo{Jt. The poryle ufrro I

a$ociats mysslf r#th have manyof the samc qqalities" I like to be arourdpople ufio I mn tell acfually carc about my ruell bairry, minor or maior. In frrebible tt $a)ls'in a multitude of euncil ftere is safery'. I try to suft'fflnd my$slfu,ith p@ple who have all sorts of impacts in nry life. Being in a eErnfurtablecirde. gives oppofiunity fs csnstnrcf,ive criticism to be preaentsd when needed.Aquality &tat shrds out to rrle amongst my imrnedi.ate circle of people wlro in-f,uenm me is the way they all strive to p€rs€uere through et ery and any siHa-tioo and mske fie b6st out of any ouEornf thst may present itse*f.

Perseverlng through conHnualstruggles takes palienoe and faith" Withorfr ttme gualitice people tend ta bredtdotrn. Poopte who arq ignorant to the fact that $ruggl*r are part af life, *sme-tinu$ saqm to ffnd an aFtem*tive fiorrte. which erdr up leaving fre sulcome tobe negative.

With tttis being said my father ia Sre most inflr.pntial peruon in my life, withouta doubt. He has a mindset that sete him apart from enerybdy he knowE andeverybody I knoyv. He nevar guits. ha believee with Gd, anything is poasiHe. I

6an say with a smile an rny fae as I typed this paper he is a rnan of God andhe always etdveE through any and everythlng" ilty dad sfiowe an inctedibleafiount of ffienoa and fi*i$. When thinga do nE{ look thsir bert or hon he&inks they should look, he n€ver guits and will take on anghing. Whether it hash do rrifft a femily matte( or eomsthing that 6€ems like it is not going tohappen, or sornething fE believes God wants fur his fami*y, he rnakes ilhapp+n. I think hs ia like tfiie because he ls a man of ftd. He tells ms "God e*ndo anythiqg'. TI€t€ i+ a prayer mlld tte Favor Confeesion, which a line in itetates that'Policig$, rul6s, regulation, and lsws are c*rangad and rarrersed onrny behalf." Being awar6 that my tather is a man that strivss for God, and nEverquiB, make ms mnseiou$, and then it mahes m* falas thargh I heva to pms-ent myself lhe sanc way. My dad ie a lee#r and he Ells n€ I am ore also,$pealting paitively is urhat my dad dsea beat. tlim telling ne I arn laadsr mul-tipb timer, sterte to g*,re me e sefts€ of recponsbillty and mekee me have edesire tok like my f,rllrcr.

My dad is a r*an frlhd wlth faifi and patierrce. He leads by exarnple, and hasthe gift of hadelship" Havirq I person wflh an irpredible personality inwlved hmy life is nothirqg short of a blasoing. When difiicull sihratbns rnay prasenttharnsalws I knout to nwer quit and afways p6r$€\rstls no matter Nyhat thirgsmay look like.
