People With Impacts On My Life

2)  My life has been influenced by many people.  Some have had good impacts while others have had bad impacts.  I think that people that give you bad experiences help you out in life and teach you what to look for and what to stay away from.  While the people who give you good experiences teach you how to act and how to be successful in life.  One person that has had a huge impact on my life has been my Grandpa.  He is always there for me no matter what.  He is a very nice and friendly person.  He helps out anyone who needs it no matter what.  He always find a way to spend time with all 16 of his grandchildren and treats us all the same.  No one ever feels left out around him.  If you ever need something you can always count on him to help you or give you advice.  Another person that has had an impact on my life is Ryan Roberts.  He is a family friend and I work for him.  He owns a very successful cattle and calf operation just outside of Orion.  Ever since I have started working for him, I feel like I have changed as a person.  He is a pretty laid back person and understands people.  He is always happy and will take time out of his busy day to ask you how you are doing.  I look up to him.  He has taught me many values in life.  You don't always need to be in a rush and people do make mistakes, there is no reason to freak out or make a big deal out of something that can be fixed.  He understands people very well.  My football coach has also been an inspiration in my life.  Football isn't just a sport, it teaches you life lessons.  One that has really stuck with me is, "If the going gets tough, keep pushing through it."  Your life won't be perfect and everything isn't going to go your way.  You have to find a way to get through tough situations.  He has always been there for anyone who needs it and is always willing to give you his advice.  He is kinda of a father figure to some of us.  He is a great person.

It is a sunny day outside.  It is a wonderful fall day, maybe a little bit hotter than most.  Nature is all around.  You can feel it.  The birds are chirping and flying around full of life.  Cars buzz by every few minutes and some even honk because they are happy.  The leaves are full of color and bring life to everything around them.  The water tower oversees everything in the town while the dandelions blow in the breeze.  There is one lone branch laying in the middle of the school front yard.  This is the weather in which most people love to relax.  It is not to hot or too cold.  The sunny weather puts a smile on everyones face.  Life is all around you if you take the time out of your day to stop hurrying and enjoy the moment your living in.  You may relize there is more to life than what you have ever expected.
