My mom. She raised me and nurtured me, and basically set goals for my life. I'm not saying that she paved the road I'm driving in, but she plays a really big role in my life. If I grew up to be like her, I'd probably be one of the best people I know.
Although she's not exactly proud of my fondness for internet games.
In general, my parents influence me to make the right decisions, although I don't agree all the time
Academically, one of my teachers from last year influenced me to try to attempt to become a math teacher (yea...)
Musically, I have been influenced by trumpet geniuses Dizzy Gallespie and Louis Armstrong for Trumpet, but for guitar I have been influenced by Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page and Angus Young
I have also been influenced by my friends to study hard and be an average or good student
