Reflect on the importance of influencers in an individual's life.

Who are the

most influential people in your life? How did they affect your outlook about
different aspects of your personal, academic, and even social life? Can a
person live without the influence of others?

The most influential person will vary depending on where you are in
your life. There are many people in the world who are very influential.
These people impact the world in a positive way by standing up for what
they believe in, overcoming obstacles that tried to stop them from their
success, and fighting for what is right. As a child, I would certainly say my
mother was the most influential. I learned how to speak up for myself from
watching her. I also learned about my own worth and learned a lot from
watching her in her roles as mother and wife. When my father died when I
was 5 years old, she took care of me, never gave up on me, and went
through a lot to make sure I had everything I needed in life. Now, I have
also been influenced by a lot of people, especially my closest friends,
relatives, classmates, and loved ones. They are also the reason for who I
am today and what I want to become in the future.
I think a person can live without the influence of others, but it is not
that easy. In general, a person can’t live without the influence of others
because we all should know how to socialize with others. According to
John Donne’s "No man is an island" that is why socialization has become
really important nowadays because at some instance of our lives, we get
the need of various kinds of people and during that time, if we haven’t
socialized, we won’t get any help. However, if you have met enough people
and made enough friends, then you know that no matter what, somebody
will always stand by you. Research shows that people who like to live alone
remain sad and depressed most of the time because they don’t have any
support with them, and they cannot get supported financially, mentally, or
even physically, which makes anxiety and depression attacks very natural.
The biggest problem with people nowadays is that they always feel lonely,
no matter what kind of entertainment they get. It is because they choose to
live separately from their friends and families, and when this decision gets
made, loneliness is naturally going to be a part of your life. I know all of us
are social beings, and our brains need that quality of interaction with our
peers in order to enjoy positive emotions, feel validated, and find security,
and in that way, we may be influenced by others.
