Essay Topic "A"
Throughout my life, I have been influenced by thousands of things; from music to television, books, movies, friends, and family. But the person who has made the largest impact on my life so far would be a man named (BOB).
(BOB) is a Police Officer in Coppell Texas and has been the Advisor for the Coppell Police Explorer Post for the past two years. Since joining this post, Officer (BOB) has been a role model to me and instilled many qualities and attributes that I am glad to have learned. From the start I learned what being part of a team really means and how to be a leader. I also have learned ethics, discipline and the ability to learn from my mistakes. Officer (BOB) has not just made an impact on me, but he has become an inspiring human being. Two years ago, when I first joined the post, I was a quiet young man who kept mostly to himself and was very shy around people I did not know. But from Officer (BOB)'s example I have learned to be more outgoing and confident in myself. I have also been able to hone my leadership skills and I have been taught the ability to learn from my mistakes.
Officer (BOB) has made a large impact on my life that will stay with me for the rest of my existence. Though I have learned a lot from him, compared to vast amount of good qualities he possesses, I have learned little. But I truly aspire to be like him one day; an honest, dedicated, ethical, and disciplined leader. This amazing role model has not only taught me these qualities with words, but with actions. His influences run deep in my life by teaching me to be the best that I can be and do the best that I can do and this impact is one of the greatest one could ever have.
