  1. I owe quite a few of my skills and interests to Ray Allen. He is a great basketball player and I remember seeing im play a ton of times when I was a kid. He is one of the main reasons I have such a love for the game of basketball. He will always be one of my favorite people. Ray Allen is a great basketball player as well as a great role model.

  3. My personal influences include many people but my biggest influences are my mom and dad. My friends also make big influences with all the different music I like and listen to. The media also influences me because usually I don't like whats "popular". My teachers are also an important role because they make you question things. The skill I enjoy the most is listening and playing music.

  4. I have lots of people that influence me, mostly my family and friends, but media also played a big part. My dad and my uncle both own small companies and have been successful. I think that this has an influece on me wanting to start my own business and live that lifestyle. Also, my friends are usually good at influencing me, but it's mostly good things. The media plays a real big part in my life because when I was little when I would watch TV I would want to be like the people I saw, like batman. Many things influence my life, but sports and music are the ones I enjoy the most.

  5. I feel that my dad gave me the personality traits and some of the skills that I have. My mom gave me the interests and personal tastes that I get. My family and friends have played a role in who I am today. Some life lessons that I have learned from my parents are that you need to respect you and everything around you, learn from your mistakes, never take anything for granted, treat people the way you want to be treated. As well to learned things from my parents, I have learned things from my sisters. Since I'm the youngest I have seen my sisters grow up and just learn from what they do.

  7. I owe my interest to my mom and dad if it wouldn't be for them I wouldn't be the person I am today. Most of my interest that I have in from my dad me and my dad do everything together such as hunting, fishing, and snowmobiling. I also think that one of my teacher I owe to who I am today. She never gave up on me and she also seen thing in me that I didn't see in myself. I got my fun and out going personality for my mother and from my dad I think of just as like him. If it would be for these people in my life I wouldn't be the same person I am today.

  8. There are many people in my life who influence me. My family has had a great impact in the person i am today. My father tought me respect and to always try my hardest.My brother tought me how to stay out of trouble and always follow the right path. Other than this not many other people or things have influenced me.

  9. The person I owe most of my interests and personality traits to would be my mom. My main interest I have is riding and showing horses and that is what my mom always did when she was younger. I get a lot of my personality from her too. I can usually be pretty nice to people but I also speak my mind and say my opinion on things. I also don't like having a bunch of friends. I would rather have a couple really close friends and then just have other friends that I don't tell everything to. I think everybody plays a role on how you develop to be who you are today. I think family, media, and friends make the biggest impact though, because you are always around them and what they do rub off onto you.

  10. Alot of people have influenced me thruout my 17 years. I love to work and earn my own money and be responsible for buying stuff I want. I believe that trait comes from my mom because she works long hours to get what she wants, not everyone has a good work ethic but im glad that I do. I'm very open for example if I don't like you or something like that I will deffinitly let you know. That trait comes from my friends because we are that way to eachother. An interest of mine is snowboarding and thanks to my cousin and his friend who got me into it, and i'm glad they did. I try not to let people influence me, because i like to be myself not someone else.

  11. I am a product the efforts of the people around me. My family gave me my morals as well as a few life skills. My coaches and teachers gave me the work ethics I need to survive in the work force. And, the media around me has influenced the way I look and feel about the world around me. I got my red hair from both my Grandpas.

  15. i believe that a little bit of everything influences my skills, interests, personality tastes, etc. My family/friends play the most important role in influencing my life because, i'm around them everyday. The media also plays a little role in my decisions because, when your little or maybe even now, you wanted to be like certain people, do what they do, etc. Now, I have a lot of things that interest me, epecially music.

  16. I have to owe my skills and life style to my parents because I do some of the stuff that they do. For example I get my like of hunting from my dad and both my parents bowl so that's why I do it. My parents didn't force me to do what they do but I followed them anyway. I was thinking about doing accounting for a career and that's what my mom does so I guess I'm following in her foot steps. My parents have done a lot for me in the form of what skills and interests that I picked up.

  17. I owe my love for music and audio to my drum instructor and my cousin. I started playing drums in 5th grade for the middle school band. I didnt really enjoy the drums until I had private drum lessons in 7th grade, there my teacher showed me many things and developed me as a player. My cousin works at a recording studio that my band has recorded at twice. I really took to what he was doing and showing us and I have decided to have that be my career path.

  18. A lot of people have influenced me over the years, but the person who influenced me most is my sisters and brothers. My parents have influenced me a little bit, but my bothers and sisters raised me. They helped me through everything and also taught me many things. My whole family has given me the love for music. My hard work ethic comes from my parents, I believe. They both are very hard working just like me.
