Influence

The one person that influences my life is my mom, and it is not anything that she has done good.
My mom has influenced my life in the way, i look at her and say to myself I don't want to live my life this way. All my life my dad has raised me, while covering up for why my mom hasn't done anything for me. All my life my mom has let drugs distroy her life, and that makes me want to stay drug free. The person I care about, that is suppose to be there for me, but isn't lets drugs control her life and lead her to neglect her kids, not finish high school, and people look at me and say how do you let that influence you? Because, I look at her and I say to myself this is not how I want my life to be. I want to have kids one day and be in there life, I don't want drugs to control my life, and I want to graduate high school and go to college. I can say at the age of 18 I am doing a good job of fulfilling those dreams.
