Influences
By: Aubrey Kennedy
Jennifer Kennedy
About Jennifer:
This is my mom. She's absolutely beautiful. She had me when she was 21 years old, and she is the sweetest person I've ever met. Her heart is the bigger than I ever thought possible, and she is crazy (in the best way, of course :) ).
How She Influences Me:
My mom influences me in so many ways. I really don't care about anyone's opinions as much as I care about hers. She has taught me so much of what I know today. Her kind heart and genuine care for others are what influence me. The amount of time she puts into her family is amazing, and she influences me to set my priorities straight. She is the best momma I could ever ask for, and I have no idea what I would do without her.
Taylor Swift
About Taylor Swift:
Taylor Swift is a 23-year-old singer/songwriter/actress who has been famous for quite some time now. She sings music from country to pop, and she has played in various movies and t.v. shows.
How She Influences Me:
A lot of famous people have been known to do some not-so-good things. In all of the time that I have absolutely loved Taylor Swift, she has never done something that would be considered a bad influence or illegal or anything bad in general. I love that Taylor Swift stays true to herself and isn't afraid to speak her mind, which is exactly how she inspires me.
Victoria Kennedy
About Tori:
Tori is my little sister. She is 12 years old, and is one of the loudest people you will ever meet. She's funny and sarcastic, and it's almost scary how much she is like me. She goes to Coppell Middle School West, and it extremely talented.
How She Influences Me:
It may seem strange to have someone younger than you as an influence, but sometimes I forget Tori is younger than me. She has so much heart, and puts so much energy into everything she does, especially her singing. She got 1st chair in her region competition 2 years in a row, and is absolutely amazing. Her passion and fun-loving nature are what influence me the most.
Selena Gomez
About Selena Gomez:
Selena Gomez is a 20-year-old singer and actress. She became famous when she was discovered by Disney Channel. She is a latino who was born and raised here in Texas.
How She Influences Me:
It's funny actually, I met Selena Gomez before she became famous. She was in acting school at Everybody Fits, which is the gym my uncle owned. She was very sweet and down to earth. Then I saw her again, after she had begun her acting career, at Everybody Fits for a meet, and she was still sweet and genuine and very humble. Selena is one of those celebrities who isn't known for anything bad at all, and doesn't seem to be consumed in the fame. Her humility is extremely influential.
Lynnette Casillas
About Lynnette:
Lynnette is my best friend in the whole world. She's a junior at Coppell High School and is extremely energetic. She is baby crazy and is a soon to be Mormon.
How She Inspires Me:
Lynnette is her own person. She is caring and genuine. She doesn't let anyone stop her from doing what she wants to do and what she thinks it right. She has always been there for me, and she is so much like me in many ways. She has been such a good example to me when it comes to being true to myself, because she really doesn't care what other people think; as long as she's happy, that's all that matters to her. She has been a huge influence to me over the past year and a half and I'm so sad I'll be apart from her next year.
