What people and experiences have impacted me

 I would say that various people have impacted me in my younger years.

First, i would say that is it my parents as they taught me to be independent and they also were accepting and supportive of any activities that i did. Especially going to church when they don't attend church at all.

They have been to church for important parts of my life including getting baptised. This has taught me to be open and understanding of all people regardless of their backgrounds.

I would also say my time in the Boys Brigade shaped me as a person and a leader. I learned how to be independent and also how to work as part of a team while getting instructions from others. The leaders at the time were people that i respected and looked up especially as i moved up the ranks and became a leader myself.
