Most influential person/people or experience in your growth as a person and why:  The most influential person in my life would definitely be my mom. She has always taught me to fight for everything I want in life and to never give up because nothing in life is handed to you. She’s also taught me the true meaning of strength and has always told me to stay true to myself and never let anyone determine my happiness.
