Who has been the biggest influence in your life and why?
Is that person still around? Do they know they had such an impact on you?
 
Who has been the biggest influence in your life and why? My dad. He was more than just a dad. He was my best friend. We did everything together. He taught me never to say I couldn't do something. He told me I could do anything if I didn't give up. He told me to always follow my dreams and if I worked real hard, my dreams would come true. My dream came true the day I graduated and took the oath as a Paramedic.

Is that person still around? Sadly no. Cancer took him away from me.

Do they know they had such an impact on you? He wasn't there when I graduated. Well not in person but I believe he was there in spirit.
 
I'd have to say my mom. She had nothing and always was able to make something happen. She was a strong person and managed to get through college while raising two teenagers and dealing with her own physical / emotional problems. Not sure if she knew she was inspiration to me, but she knew I loved her.
