I have had countless influences, some of them direct, others not. But everyday I am grateful that there are people in this world who are strong enough to guide the rest of us in becoming better people. I am just in high school and know that there is an entire world of information out there, and what I know now is a drop in a vast bucket. But the people who have shaped my life thus far?
Well setting aside the obvious persons (parents, friends, other family- and not for lack of importance but for lack of time) I look to people like Paul Rusesabagina, Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Nelson Mandela. At the moment, these people are the ones who come to mind that have inspired me most.

No one.
No one inculcates the breath of life into us, calling us forth, not a god or idol. There was a mountain top where only 5 men lived; 5 in 10,000 years made it to this height-- they are the sacrifices to a limit that no longer exists. The mountain has since been bulldozed. We no longer have a need for mountaineers.

My parents, my grandparents, and ancestors. They inspire me to past down the knowledge of ancent generations to younger generations of today. They inspire me to be proud of who I am, out of all the chances of the universe, I am alive and in the company of others who are too. Life is short, celebrate it everyday.
Hey!,..let our troops come home safe!

First - who are you referring to? it's so individual but somehow i get the feeling your looking for a deeper answer so here it goes - Life experience witch include many people, family, friends, partners. but often i heard that all answers lay within, and for the longest time i was trying to get the answers
about myself and who i am through someone else. eventually, after going through that path and with a lot of determination, i realised that all this time i did not have faith, meaning, i did not have faith in myself!, once i let that inner guide to speak out - i felt the faith, and that made me finally be me totally!
once you get there, that's pure freedom, and you'll never want to go back.

Some excellent teachers I had while growing up, out of the classroom more than in.
