Although influential people have come and gone in my life, my husband, Derek, has remained the most influential person for the last 3 years. From the day I met him, he always had and optimistic and enthusiastc outlook on life. No matter how bad one's situation may be, Derek believes there's always a bright side. The most important thing to him is family and when things get tough, he tries to remind himself that he is blessed and others aren't quite as fortunate as he is. Laughter has always played a large role in that enthusiastic outlook and wherever we go. Derek has no problem getting others to laugh with him! It is hard to have a bad day when the person you spend your life with is always smiling. He also makes a conscious effort morning to remind himself of what is important in life and that the day ahead will be a great one. Derek feels that when we are in unhappy situations, we need to look for something good. Another reason I find Derek influential is his commitment to everything he does. When time came for me to go take my GED test he told me he would make sure money never became an issue. It's noth everyday that you find a person so commited to your success and happiness that they are willing to sacrifice their time. Derek is also commited to working hard whether that is at work, home or helping friends. He commits to finish whatever job he starts, no matter the lengths he must go. Derek also shows gratitude to those who deserve it and generosity to those who need it. He appreciates that his parents insilled good morals in him nad how to work hard at everything. He also credits them with his positive outlook on life. Derek has taken our family on vacation that would not have otherwise been able to afford to go. He asks for nothing in return other than us to enjoy ourselves! My husband being the most influential person
