Who has been the biggest influence on your life and explain why?

• I can think of several people who have been an influence on my life over the many years. One person who has the biggest influence on my life would be my brother Jaiden. I tragically lost my younger brother to gun violence in 2013. As a sophomore in high school, I quickly realized what my life would be about. The emptiness of my household fueled me to live with the same passion and smiling heart as my brother once did. He has influenced me to become a personable individual while maintaining my fuel and focus on competing.
