Essays / I was asked to write an essay to indicate a person who had a significant influence [9]
Indicate a person who has had a significant influence on you and describe that influence.
We all have our own person who has had a significant influence on us. For me the person was my father. It took me a lot of years to realize that the person influencing me the most was him. I have always seen him as my role model to who I have always wanted to be. I see him as the blueprint to what my life should look like.
My father is a pastor. Everything I am today is because of him. I have admired him and he has never let me down. His personality has influenced me too. He is humble and has kept a reputation in a culture where Christians are not accepted. This is a value, which I would like to achieve. Both the young and the old accept him. But the best quality that I find in him is his patience. His character as a Christian is also to be admired. He has a profound relation with God. Growing up I could see and feel the blessings he was provided. He has a very strong faith and trusts the lord. He has inspired the faith of Christ in me too. He has given me an example of what a witness of Christ should look like and I am willing to follow that. As a child I still remember asking my father if it was possible to acquire super powers. He simply answered by saying that pray to God because nothing is impossible in him. At that age his encouragement was enough for me to be motivated in any circumstances.
While studying my father used to leave me alone to study. He used to trust me and let me study on my own. He never forced me into anything. His motive was to make me independent so I could face the world. Whenever I am interested in something he is always there to encourage me. This turned me to be an independent person. He has taught me to trust God and to be obedient. He was strict while taking the lord's name and because of this the respect for God has been in my life ever since. Anyone who has spent time with him will come to enjoy his or her time with him. He enjoys life and is never irritated. He is always thankful.
When I first started to play a musical instrument, I could see my parents who were so proud and at that time I decided that music was the path for me. It was something I enjoyed and my parents were proud of it. Due to my parent's constant encouragement I started to enjoy music even more. I played at the church with the worship team. During that time I was able to know God a lot and the concept of worshiping the savior has been in me ever since. This has awakened a curiosity on how to praise him. My Father awakened this curiosity in me.
Like his character I too want to build my character up. Even to my mother he is a respectable person. The relation that they have is something to admire. He is the motivator and the guide for my mother and me. I have always relished the moments with my father and would like to obtain the same.
