Influence of a Personal Experience

Every individual has the ability to make a lasting impact on their community and the world. Reflecting on a person or experience that has significantly influenced your perspective or actions, write an essay that explores the lessons learned and how they have shaped your own values and aspirations.

Your response should clearly articulate the influence of this person or experience, provide specific details about how it has impacted you, and connect these influences to your future goals and contributions to society.
