My high school years were some of the most influential years of .
From the parties to the alcohol, I thought I had it all made; .
However, I was wrong. All I needed was the right person to make me see .
things in a different perspective. That is when I met my future fiancé .
Jeff. He has helped influence my life in a variety of beneficial ways.
First, when I sit back and think about certain aspects of my .
teenage years, I realize exactly how uninformed I was. Jeff helped me to .
have different outlooks on my life. I thought everything was so simple in .
life. I thought that it was all right to do whatever I wanted no matter what .
anyone else said. He made me understand that simple things do matter. .
For example, I thought that coming home early on weekends was .
ridiculous, and that I should have been able to stay out all night if I .
wanted to. I was not worried then about what my mother thought. Jeff .
changed that. He got me into the habit of getting home early. With his .
taking me out, I really did mot have a choice of what time I wanted to be .
home. He would make sure that I got home early regardless of what I said.
He also gave me a better understanding of what kind of person I .
portrayed. He used to always say,"" If I had a tape recorder, I would record .
everything you say, just so you can hear what you sound like."" I thought .
that he was just being ridiculous. Then I stopped and listened to myself .
and finally realized what kind of attitude I had. I had a negative, .
rebellious, and egocentric attitude. That is not the type of person that I .
wanted to be. He helped me. He would stop me everytime I wanted to say .
something negative. He made me aware of the kind of person I was and .
what kind of person I wanted to become.
Jeff has also played a major role in my academic career. My .
senior year , after we became serious about our relationship together, I .
found myself setting higher goals for myself.
