JE13 Influential Person

            I have a close friend who has a big influence in my life. Before I met her, I always had strong opinions toward things. I could not really judge one thing fairly and objectively. After I met her and talked to her, she changed my mind. I was actually a little arrogant back then. But I realized she know so many things that I didn't know. Therefore, I started to talk to her more and ask her about things. One thing in common for both of us is music. I refused to listen to different genres of songs that I had never tried before. But after her suggestions, I reluctantly listened to few. And I found them unexpectedly good. At this point, she opened a window in my mind telling me there are lots of amazing things in the world to be explored. Since then, I become more humble and open-minded. She also led me to explore the world of art and English. My English was really bad back then and she helped me a lot with it. She often recommended some great novels for me to read. Also, she gave me lots of new ideas on art. I remember we decorated our classroom together and our creation was the best of all. Now, not only that I look at things objectively, I also try to venture different parts of this world to gain more knowledge.
