Who is the most influnetal person in your life? And why?

A very influential person in my life is a young man by the name of Anthony. Anthony and I are good friends and I've know in for sometime now. Growing up Anthony has been present for some of the most important years of my life. I've learn a lot about life, learning from mistakes he's made. He's but a couple of years older than myself. He's learned a lot over the years from his studies and has been willing to share the knowledge he's gained with me. I sometimes use him as a model and use many of the techniques that has made him successful. In learned from his mistakes I am able to advance more quickly then him and will have a much easier task a head of me.
