People Who Have Left a Mark in My Life
All throughout high school I would tremble with fear thinking about college. To me college didn't seem like the right thing. Fortunately, I had three amazing teachers who helped me fight my fear of college. My teachers, Mrs. Olsonawski, Mrs. Lunde, and Mrs. Hogie have each influenced me to attend college after high school.

For readability and interest, You might want to make the three people who influenced you from different professions - one teacher, one friend and one... famous inspiring person. That would give a more complete picture of what influenced you than just listing 3 teachers!

I totally agree with linmark. You would probably want to chose a fictional or historical character, a teacher and a relative/friend. Choosing three teachers just shows that you are only influenced by academic areas, such as school.
