An Influential PersonWrite about a person or people you look up to or have learned from. These could be people who have become famous historically, celebreties or even people you know or are related to. You might admire their accomplishments, their personality traits or their values. How did you learn about this person? What makes him or her remarkable? How does knowing about this person impact who you are as an individual?
I Have written these kind of journals for the last 3 years, so many times that I am sure I could go find one on my computer, and hand that in, but I thought about it and id rather not. Even though I am going to write about the same person I always do, and im really not assamed of that. The person I am about to write about is one of the most loving, and caring people I have ever met, but my goodness if you get on her bad side, she will rip your head off. But I think that is why I love her so much, because she is exactly like me in pretty much every way, except that she is married and has three kids.
Tyffani Martin is the pretty much the most influential person in my life at this time. She is my second mother, and I tell her everything that is going on in my life, even when I know that I shouldn't or when I know she really doesn't want to hear it. She is the one person I know will always be here for me, and I know I will always be there when she needs me. I feel like I am a part of her family because she just brings everyone in and shares what ever she can with anyone that she feels deserves it.
Tyff, and I haven't always got along, which is something that really makes me laugh at this point. When I was in grade 9 and my boyfriend at the time had come to see me compete in a dance competition he had skipped her class, and she just reemed him out the next day, saying I couldn't have possibly been worth missing her class, (but in her defence she hadn't met me yet). At that point I believed that she must have been the craziest teacher in the school, (which I still don't doubt some times). And when I joined cheerleading when I was in grade 10, she used to nit pick every little thing I had ever done wrong, and I couldn't stand her. But now I know how much that really did help me in my cheerleading.
Have Tyff as a coach is one of the best things in the world. She is the kind of coach that will scream at you for doing something wrong, but will be there hugging you in 5 minutes when you get hurt. She is by far the best coach I have ever had for anything in my life. She is the greatest at showing people why they are wrong, its just not always in the nicest way. But in the kind of sport we are into, if you cant handle someone being a bitch, you are the one that needs to leave, because that is pretty much what half of our sport is.
By far the best time ive ever had was with having Tyff as a teacher. I had her as a sociology teacher last semester, and she was the best soc teacher ive ever had, BY FAR! She always knows exactly what you are trying to expalin to her, and she was always there to help anyone in that class with anything. She taught me way more that I had learned in my other two sociology classes, and when I came out of that class, I knew that I had actually learned something instead of where I used to have to read the text book in my other classes to understand anything about the subject. She is the kind of teacher that will teach you something, and try and help you use it in context or will get really excited when you bring it back into a conversation at another point. I thought that was just awesome.
Tyff is one of the most amazing people I have ever met, just everything about her is just awesome. She has the kindest personality in the world, and she is a mother figure to anyone who will ever need it. Ik now that long after I graduate I will stay in touch with her, because I know for a fact that I would not and could not have the marks I have, and could have made it to where I am going without her help and pushing. I love her so much, she is just incrediable.
