Think about what it means to have a positive influence on the people around you. Identify one person in your community, school, or someone that you know that has a positive influence on you. What is it about that person or group that allows them to be influential? Do you think you are a positive influence for other people? Tell me in 3-5 sentences.
Example:
One person in my community that has a positive influence on me is my father. My father is a fifth grade teacher and teaches so that students are excited to learn! Also, he is a high school soccer coach and is a positive role model to young men through his coaching. As a teacher, I try to be the very best role model for my students by allowing them to explore the world around them through different texts and lenses.
