Life Influence

Influences basically surround all of us from all directions, so I'd like to think I am partly influenced by everyone and everything. However, the strongest impact that a person has put on me has most likely have to be my high school spanish teacher, Amber Bowgren. I had the privilege to have Amber as a spanish teacher for three years of my high school career. Not only did I do a great deal of learning spanish throughout those three years of high school, but I learned a lot about how to accept new cultural ideas and those that may not be very far from my own. As I’m sure for most teenagers, high school was a difficult time for me and having a down to earth teacher that understood life at that time made things a lot more manageable.  I wouldn’t only consider her just as  past teacher in my high school career, but even as friend or sister.
