Influence

People often feel they made a wrong decision, and they did that because they were influenced badly. Too often in our fast and ever-growing society, we see just that. We get influenced badly and pay the consequences. In today’s short story, some kids are faced with some tough decisions.

So there is a man. According to most of the kids in the town he is called Uncle Willy. He is a clerk at a shop. But there is one major thing that is off about him. He has a huge addiction to drugs. Since he is a huge friend to the kids, he gives them ice cream, the kids like and want to be like him. The kids want to be like him, which means they might do drugs as well.

But next let us look in the example of Michael Jordan. We all know him as the best basketball player of all time. But he started from humble beginnings. First he barely made the high school team, then told he wouldn’t be able to make the college team. But he would not let his doubters stop his dreams. So he persisted, and you know what? He became the NBA player he is now. But if he had been influenced to give up, he would not have acheiveved his dreams.

We looked at how Uncle Will probably will negatively affect those children and how MJ, did not let other people influence him, as a result become the basketball player he is today. Though we may not influence someone positively, we can always do our part!
