Entry 14: Your Influence

As Newton's third law states a action must have a equal reaction, it may be true for physical actions but not psychological actions. When someone is a influential person to another that doesn't mean the one being influenced is also influential. for example in my life I had a teacher who influenced me by helping me realized what I wanted to do in the future. However I didn't influence him on the decisions he made, and even if I did influence him it was on a smaller scale than that of his. Yet there are cases of equal or if not greater influences. During my first year of high school I enrolled into a new school in a different country. I met a senior who was always crazy and wild, running and shouting through the hall ways. She seemed to be happy all the time, and she guided me on my path of art. She inspired me to do things and also made my future seem even clearer. I also influenced her and she told me by the time she was leaving. She told me that I have made her a more happy person and more true to her own feelings. I was shocked knowing that a person like her could still be more happy or opened but she told me she was always hiding from the truth. I was shocked at finding that such an influential person like her could be influenced by me.
