Influences

Anna’s Assign
There are so many things in life that can influence us and inspire us. I believe that most of the people from our generation are most of the times influenced by movie stars, singers, TV show presenters, novels actors, friends and some are influenced by family members. The only thing that makes at time to not take serious and at times not to be influenced by TV stars and singers is that, most of them on TV do things that can touch our hearts and our emotions. However, what they usually are in their real life or what they do out of scenes is totally different from what they are or do on TV. I would rather be influenced by people that do not usually change in attitudes and behavior. There are only three people who influenced and their words, attitudes and behavior are still in my mind still today. The first person is my father. My father came from a very poor family. His both parents were farmer, without enough or sufficient conditions to send all of his five brothers and sisters to school. However, since he was a little boy, he always believed that he would make changes first in his life and second in his parents’ life. As most of Africans countries do not have private or public pension system thus, most of children after finish school have to help their parents because there will not be anyone else besides them. That is why my mother also wanted to change his parents life for better as well as help them in the future time. Therefore, with his parents little money he managed to go to school. After some time he started to work while he was going to university. He graduated and now he is a successful medical doctor.
