A Person Who Has Impacted My Life

Decent Essays
This impacted my life because I learned to not give up when things get tough and then everyone who we have with us right now appreciate them while we have them right now.

He went from someone being who drank more then supposed to now being someone who drinks nothing at all. Sometimes we are just around the corner of completing something and we end up giving up because it turns difficult, but we need to keep going and accomplish what we came here to accomplish. This also made me understand that life is hard and it can come really difficult at times, but we need to keep going because once we accomplish what we want we will feel more proud
