My Brother's Influence

From day one Derek Grant has been either pushing me around or teaching me something which I now realize that all these things my brother has been involved with me over the years has really molded me into the person I am today. In my earlier years it was mostly the teasing and fooling around but now I feel as if he made me a strong person. I have endured a lot with my family over the years and Derek has always been a solid figure that I looked up to. Maybe its the fact that I have never seen him cry before or maybe its because he has always had the determination for a healthy lifestyle and motivation for a active personal training job, challenging his body. I've looked up to him for multiple reasons and these are what I believe have shaped my morals and actions today. I chose to go to the gym for an hour 5 times a week, I have a easy going and social personality like him, I am motivated in almost everything I do and love people who are close to me. I do believe my parents had a large influence in shaping my lifestyle but growing up and learning a lot of technical things that parents aren't necessarily going to teach you was definitely a bonus or advantage I believe I now have over others who did not have a figure in their lives like I did with my brother.
