This is not a question, and Yahoo Answers is not a forum for entreating patrons to indulge in finishing your Summer School Homework. The first and foremost problem, is the most influential person in any-ones lives, should be the teachers that opened their minds to the world around them, allowing them to choose direction and purpose for their lives.
Also If your going to ask someone to tackle a task of this magnitude, learn to spell, "affect" not affact; "important" not dimportat; "characteristics" not characteristies.
Next time just ask the simple question - "Who is the single most influential person in your life? Limit your answer to 250 words please.

I am so fortunate to have many positive influences on my life, but the one greatest influence has been a message board poster known only as "haruna m". I met Haruna one day when, being bored, I was flipping through Yahoo! Answers and saw a simple, direct question: "Write an essay of 200 to 250 word [sic] about the most infiuential [sic] person in ur [sic] life.? [sic]" And then I realized what was the problem with modern Man.
In years past, the drive to learning was self-motivated. Nobody would complain if you simply wanted to be a serf all your life (or if you were noble, if you just wanted to sit around and order serfs all your life.) In fact, the university system was very rudimentary, and students more commonly found a master to tutor them, be it in mechanical skills or in abstract studies. Today, the push towards modernization has outpaced the will of the people. For at least 10 years, every child is required to be enrolled in grade school, and in order to get a reasonable job most must complete 16 years of schooling. This external exigence of education leads to rebellion, and one of the most common ways is dishonesty in assignment completion.
Since learning was erstwhile a self-driven matter, there was no question of people cheating. Today, the goal of the average student is to make it through the 16 years and leave the school system. This has turned the culture of guilt to a culture of shame, to borrow Ruth Benedict's terminology. It is a matter of pride to turn in stolen work, copied ideas, or cheated tests without the teacher - an agent of "the man" - noticing. Sadly, this means that the greater requirement of work (such as the practical necessity of higher education) leads to less genuine interest in learning.
I was so amazed at haruna's brashness in posting this question - but I knew it wasn't his or her fault, it was an error of the system. No sane educational system will produce even a single student who asks someone ELSE, least of all an anonymous eHoiPolloi, about the most influential person to the ASKER. I have seen students ask their homework askance, not clear as to whether they were planning to copy the target information. But now I realize there is something truly, deeply wrong with our culture of education - not just our system or methodology, but with the entire idea of mandated, government-funded education. I cannot reform education by attacking the symptoms, the system - if I hope to make any change, it will be far more fundamental than that.

The most influential person in my life, by far is Jesus. And I am not saying this because I am religious. In fact, I don't even believe that Jesus Christ is my personal Lord and Savior. But, his existance has influence my life so dramtically, it would be a lie for me to say that deny his importance. To give you a better understanding of where I am coming from let me give you some insight into who I am. I don't believe in any religion. I do however believe in the existence of forces greater than my own. I have faith, but I also use logic and rational thinking. From the begining, I was sent to catholic school. Catholic schools were established by a community of religious followers that base their faith on Jesus Christ. So, if jesus did not exist I would not have gone to catholic school. It was at catholic school that I have met all of my friends. So, if jesus did not exist I would have not met the friends that have influenced me so greatly. My parents come from a country densely populated with catholics. It is in catholic school that my mother and father met. Therefore, if jesus did not exist I would not be born. Jesus has influenced my life more than any person ever has. Jesus is not my savior; he was a man that taught great things, and because of it we live today as changed, influenced people.

Write about Nelson Mandela. He spent 27years in prison without every committing a crime. When he was released, he bore no hatred or grudge against those who imprisoned him for no reason. What a hero. He went on to be leader of his country and to be a key person to dismantle the evil apartheid regime. In his 70's he remarried a beautiful lady and continues to inspire people, irrelevant of age, colour, religion or background.
Write about this living hero - good luck.

Mother Teresa
The Nobel Peace Prize 1979
Biography
Mother Teresa was born Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu in Skopje*, Macedonia, on August 27, 1910. Her family was of Albanian descent. At the age of twelve, she felt strongly the call of God. She knew she had to be a missionary to spread the love of Christ. At the age of eighteen she left her parental home in Skopje and joined the Sisters of Loreto, an Irish community of nuns with missions in India. After a few months' training in Dublin she was sent to India, where on May 24, 1931, she took her initial vows as a nun. From 1931 to 1948 Mother Teresa taught at St. Mary's High School in Calcutta, but the suffering and poverty she glimpsed outside the convent walls made such a deep impression on her that in 1948 she received permission from her superiors to leave the convent school and devote herself to working among the poorest of the poor in the slums of Calcutta. Although she had no funds, she depended on Divine Providence, and started an open-air school for slum children. Soon she was joined by voluntary helpers, and financial support was also forthcoming. This made it possible for her to extend the scope of her work.
On October 7, 1950, Mother Teresa received permission from the Holy See to start her own order, "The Missionaries of Charity", whose primary task was to love and care for those persons nobody was prepared to look after. In 1965 the Society became an International Religious Family by a decree of Pope Paul VI.
Today the order comprises Active and Contemplative branches of Sisters and Brothers in many countries. In 1963 both the Contemplative branch of the Sisters and the Active branch of the Brothers was founded. In 1979 the Contemplative branch of the Brothers was added, and in 1984 the Priest branch was established.
The Society of Missionaries has spread all over the world, including the former Soviet Union and Eastern European countries. They provide effective help to the poorest of the poor in a number of countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and they undertake relief work in the wake of natural catastrophes such as floods, epidemics, and famine, and for refugees. The order also has houses in North America, Europe and Australia, where they take care of the shut-ins, alcoholics, homeless, and AIDS sufferers.
The Missionaries of Charity throughout the world are aided and assisted by Co-Workers who became an official International Association on March 29, 1969. By the 1990s there were over one million Co-Workers in more than 40 countries. Along with the Co-Workers, the lay Missionaries of Charity try to follow Mother Teresa's spirit and charism in their families.
Mother Teresa's work has been recognised and acclaimed throughout the world and she has received a number of awards and distinctions, including the Pope John XXIII Peace Prize (1971) and the Nehru Prize for her promotion of international peace and understanding (1972). She also received the Balzan Prize (1979) and the Templeton and Magsaysay awards.

Just think long and hard about one person who has shaped who you are, it could be your mum, your dad, your best friend even a very encouraging teacher - anything that comes from the originality of experience and heart is good.
