Entry 16, Influences

  I have been influenced by people ever since I was a little kid. Everyone gets influenced by something throughout their life. In my life, I have always tried to be something, either following the shadow of my father or trying to copy some older kid with what I use to think was considered "cool". People like my father and mother has a positive impact on me, I have in fact learn so much, and the reason why I am probably somewhat healthy, is because of them. They teach me alot of everyday life things rather than academic things. They tell me to be smart about your health and eat healthy. Because of them, I eat healthy everyday for dinner and breakfast. People like my friends would give me negative influences. I am not saying I don't like being with them, I love my friends, but I know, ever since I was a little boy, my friends would be my biggest negative influences. I never wanted to admit it, but I know that is true. When you are with friends, that is when you normally get in trouble, being caught by someone doing something bad, or breaking things and just everything that we do can turn out to go wrong. I am not saying I am the only influenced one, I influence others as well when it comes to negative impacts. I believe we all influence each other rather than only influenced by others and never influencing people.
