Someone who has influenced me My friend Cindy, who always has a positive attitude when facing difficult things in her life, is a strong woman. In her childhood her family was nice enough to provide her a better life than others. But when she was going to senior high school, her family met some financial problems. After that her parents felt down and she had to take care of them. She earned some money to help her family. To me it seems like a very hard life, but she never gave up making her life better. I admire her because in the tough times she was always steady, courageous and intelligent, and she didn't complain. I hope I can be like her. I hope to have a strong personality and to get better and better.
