Indicate a person who has had a significant influence on you, and describe that influence.
For most of my life I have made choices for myself and by myself. I have planned a life to cater to my happiness and my mother's. Yet for the first time I've made a decision that has been influenced by a very special person. This boy has only been in my life for five years yet he has changed me in many different ways that my parents could not. He has taught me to love, care and laugh. It's silly how his simple sentences make my day; your dress is pretty, I want you to read me a book or I love you.
I will let you on a little secret; he thinks I'm smart because I know how to read, write and many other things. For the first time, someone looks up to me and that make me want to be a better person. His curiosity for the unknown not only allows me to teach him but to learn from his childish and imaginative mind. Although free babysitting is not something I jump up and down about, I am thrown back into my childhood times as the laughs and giggles fill the house. His energetic yet happy mood provides moments of respite from the lackluster of the real world.
However, senior year is swiftly ending and although I have previously made the decision to go back home to Philippines, this sweet boy has chipped my resolve. It breaks my heart to think about him growing up without me. The moment I come back from college keeps replaying in mind, him standing at the door, welcoming me with open arms yet not quite knowing who I am.
So here I am, applying to ________-, to learn and mature to be successful in life. But more importantly to be an awesome sister that my little bother, I mean brother could proudly look up to.
