*Avoid the stereotypical parent/teacher unless there is something truly remarkable about them and the result. *

I should have wrote the above…but I thought that goes without saying. But, I can see that some didn’t understand that.

Of course I wasn’t suggesting some trite story of how my mom was the greatest influence of my life because she is such a nice lady. :eyes rolling:

Many young people have been blessed with some incredible people in their lives who have had a marked influence on their lives. Perhaps it was a brother who you watched fight to overcome a serious birth defect, and his multi-year and painful efforts put life’s everyday challenges into perspective. Perhaps it was a neighbor who helps the poor, so you got involved with her charity group and expanded it to a larger community.
