Human beings are constantly being influenced. We are influenced by people, by the media, by our own experiences, and by word of others. Each day we are influenced by countless of sources. It is impossible to live a life without influence. However, in this post I want to specifically address the most notable people and experiences that have influenced my life. To start with, my mother.

The first time I took the test my results resonated so soundly with me that it was shocking. I'm a very skeptical person but I believe in the accuracy of the U-Zoo placement quiz.
