i need it for a 5 min presentation, if you can add sth to it.. that would be great thanks
beside the topic is: the most influential person, or people in your life...
this is what i wrote:


Who has been the most influential person in my life? There are more than one. As I stepped into new situations, I have encountered new people, and each one has taught me a new, unique lesson. However, for some of us there are individuals who impact our lives in greater ways than we could ever hope.
In my life, those people are my parents: my father, for his great caring heart, honesty, and tolerance; and my mother, for her kindness, morality, and strength as a feminist. They have become my pattern.
Even though I haven’t learned everything they tried to teach me, I have tried to apply the values and principles I learned from them, and that has helped me in situations that arose in my life over the years. Even now, my parents remain a guiding influence in my life.

Last Saturday my sick 85 year old mother called me at 7am and talked for thirty minutes about how she felt. The whole while I felt ill. I had a slight case of the flu. I had about three hours of sleep. I was frustrated and listened but realized that she had my two daughters there to help her all day every day and I was by myself feeling ill. I felt that I needed sleep to feel better. I usually would have used assertive comments like,"Mom, I feel sick and will call you as soon as I wake up." However, I was not thinking clearly with a headache and no sleep. Because I was "angry", meaning how I talked and not what I said, she plans to never speak to me again. If I say I am sorry I am sure she will "forgive" me. My big point I would like her to realize is that I am not wrong because I am angry or use a short tone with her. Are there any books that say that a person should ask, "Why are you upset?"

Old is a relative measure of time, yet it conveys mostly negative impressions. How might these attitudes about old affect one’s attitudes about growing old? About being with older people?

My boyfriend is a wonderful person who is very kind and loving. He grew up in a world of poverty, and was physically and emotionally abused by his parents. He overcame the tragedies in his life and is now a very successful man. However, I believe he still has scars that have not healed yet.

My boyfriend does not seem bothered when people insult him. We work in the same office, and one day one of our co-workers called him several names of a racist nature. I was very angry, but when I asked him, he said that it did not bother him.

This has happened quite a few times. I wonder if he is blocking certain emotions of anger. Perhaps blocking certain emotions was one of his means of survival.

I work part time in a university. I spend alot of time with professors and gifted students. I have been asked by many people how I "tolerate their *********". I get along fine with my co-workers for the most part. I do notice they spend alot of time comparing IQ scores and knowledge in different subjects, but I've always assumed that's just their way of challenging themselves. I'm asking, because I've been approached and asked questions similar to this a number of times. On top of that, I'm one of them. I've never been told that I act cocky or conceited in anyway, and that's why I made sure to add the word "some" in my queston. Serious answers only, please.

They curse and throw things when you wake them up and put the pillow over their head. It's very unnerving.
