College Admission Essay

There are many people that have influenced me in my life, but the person who has influenced my life more significantly than the others is my Dad. He has made me the strong person i am today.

Becoming a coach at Naydenovs Gymnastics has influenced me to do my work and be patient. In order to become successful in school you have to do the schoolwork that was provided for you by your teacher.
