The People that have Shaped Trevor Olson’s, Life
Trevor Olson Since I could not come up with a topic for my “example essay”, Mrs. Gast assigned one for me to do. “Who in my life has shaped me into the person I am today?” As I thought about this topic I thought, “Hmm obviously my parent and family, coaches, teachers, activities/sports etc have shaped me,” but, for some reason I couldn’t put into words how they’ve shaped me.
