People of Influence (why?): My mom and my aunts. Without them I would not be where I am right now. My mom is my biggest influence of all, she has been through everything with me and is always there to push me and tell me you can do it. My aunts always told me when someone says NO it just means New Opportunity . They are the biggest supporters of my life, they are my family.
