My parent thinks that my cellphone, the television, my computer, and my ipod are all negative influences on me. My dad thinks that they distract me from being as great as I can be. My dad also thinks that the navigation system in my car distracts me from my driving because I often try and program it while I am driving my car. I also can agree with my dad in saying that if I wasn't as busy with technology, I could possibly do a lot better in school.

In my life, I am certain that I have imitated people that I know because I look up to them. I know that my sister is someone who I look up to a lot. When I was younger, I always used to imitate my sister and copy her. I tried to be just like her because I thought that she was so cool. I thought that she was someone that I wanted to be just like as a young child. I also know that I used to imitate some of my characters from my favorite television shows. I always watch One Tree Hill and one of the characters is named Sophia Bush or “Brook.” When I was younger and I watched the show, I used to pretend that I was Brook and that her life was mine. So to do this, I would try and dress, talk, and act like her because I liked her character so much on the television show. I also think that my mom has had a large impact on who I am As a young child and even now, I always admired my mother’s life and what she did. I wanted to and still want to be just like her when I am older in the ways she dressed, acted, worked, and cooked.
