Three influential people

Well I guess the obvious choices would be my mom and dad. Well and I think that it might seem that I am picking the easiest route, but if I explain why I'm choosing them it might help to understand my decision. Well first of all my parents both come from families that have very limited resources, and that did not attend school after high school. My parents dropped out of college because I came into play, and although that might not have been the smartest choice, I think they did it for the best. My mom stayed home and my dad traveled with a company working in the development of natural gas lines around the country. At first we did not have anything, all three of us lived in a room that we rented from another family member. Later my brother was born and my dad looked for a different job to support us. Even though my dad spent most of his time out of the country, every moment he spent with us is memorable, and for that I thank him. Although my parents might not have given me riches and gold the gave me the values and ideals that brought me here today, and with those i hope to one day make them proud. Another person that inspired me all my life was my grandfather, Juan, who was there for us during the times that my father was away. And I'm not saying that my dad was not there, but just the fact that my grandfathers presence was obvious and he was the one that always told me that no matter what I did in life he would always be proud of me. He would always take us to ride our bikes and there he would tell me that I was the grandson, that made him proud. Today thinking of him and what he said to me i can find the strength to continue.
