Answer 1

There is always that one person in your life that has influenced you. Sometimes it’s a bad influence, and sometimes it’s a good one. My older sister, Jodi, has a tremendous influence on me because of the way she studies for her tests, how she dresses, and how she practices for volleyball or basketball. She is two years older than me but most of the positive things she does catch onto me because her actions are affective. My sister is one of the people who know me the best from my flaws to my advantages.
To begin with, Jodi is the person who has affected me by the way she studies independently for her tests. When she studies, she frequently uses flashcards to memorize vocabulary and mind maps to help her memorize the details of the topic she’s studying about. Another way to master her vocabulary is to use a foldable that she learned to make from her English teacher. Eventually, I asked Jodi for advice on ways to study for my tests and she taught me all of the methods she knows. I currently use her flashcards technique to help me study for Dr. Thomas’s history vocabulary.
When it comes to sports, Jodi is absolutely my inspiration. As I was nearing the age of five, she was the one who taught me how to play school sports. To this day, she still helps me practice on my basketball and volleyball skills. When Jodi was in middle school, she joined the basketball team along with the volleyball team, and that encouraged me to join those sports teams as well. Currently, I am on MLK’s co-ed volleyball team and will join their girls’ basketball team soon. Every now and then, Jodi attends my volleyball games, but most of the time, she is stuck practicing for her own tournaments.
Every year, my sister’s sense of style evolves. Mine has also progressed because I would catch onto her taste. I do not wear the exact same clothes that she wears, paint my nails the same color she does, nor do I pick out the same types of shoes that she buys, but I try to expand on it. When I was about eleven years old, I started to admire her clothes so I decided to step up to ask her if she could lend me some tips on how to dress better. She agreed to this decision and ever since then, she has been giving me fantastic fashion ideas.
Ultimately, my sister has significantly influenced me mainly by her studying techniques, her fashion sense, and her sports skills. I assume that all of the positive effects she’s had on me will benefit me as I begin to grow. I am glad that the person who influences me the most is my older sister.
