Name one person, other than your parents, who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
Other than my mom, Miss Norma Younge, my high school principal, has had the most influence on my life. She helped to mold my life into one of much discipline and respect for people, regardless of their identities or the decisions they make. She was insistent on imparting to me that hard work and commitment are the keys to success in any endeavor.
