Graduation...

My biggest influences in my life.
My biggest influences in my life are my mother, my sister, and my best friend. My mother is a huge influence in my life because she always told me to strive for success even after each failure. She was always there when I needed her. For about 8 years, my mother was a single parent. My father came from the Philippines in 3rd grade. My sister is a big influence to me as well because I'm her role model. I want her to look up to someone. I want her to look at me and say that I was very involved in school and she wants to be just like me. My best friend is also a big influence because she was my best friend from the very beginning of school. We started kindergarten together, now we're ending high school together. She always makes me want to become better.
