Over time there have been several people who have influenced various aspects of my life based on their personal characteristics accomplishments and values . I have been privileged to have had numerous teachers and professors who I respect for their patience and intelligence . There are artists that have inspired me by their natural talents and original creativity . I value many political leaders , who have inspired me by their contributions to society , and their ability to change our futures . Of all the people I have encountered in my life , the person I admire most is my father .
As the youngest girl in my family , I always considered myself to be “ Daddy's little girl ” Growing up it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around . This helped me appreciate how my father always takes an interest in his children's lives . To this day , he still professes how proud he is of me and my siblings , and is still there to support us in whatever we are involved in . In every aspect of my life my father continuously pushes me to excel . Whenever I feel like giving up , or have a question or a concern , I know I can always call on him for advice . From him I have also learned that sometimes you have to put others needs ahead of your own , but not to the point they will begin to take advantage of you . His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times , and is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on . I hold great esteem for how he stands up for what he believes in , and will never back down . I have always admired his open mind , compassion , and sense of understanding . He is a very reserved man , but has a great sense of humor , and always knows how to put a smile on my face .
