Important People

Each person meets so many people throughout their lives. Only some stick in their memories because they have done something that really reached to the person. For me, I had a friend that had been my best friend all the way from elementary school to high school that decided to part their ways from me. Of course, there was a story behind that but that’s not the point. My friend had long dark hair most of the time, with brown eyes that sometimes looked like beads from a distance. He was very important in my life because all the stuff we did and affiliated with. We became musically talented at the same time; as well as skateboarding. He was very similar overall to me by being quiet in public places, being out of the ordinary, and sharing interests in the same field. Not only did we share some the best memories but also he taught me that I was really a genuine being compared to the rest of humanity. I learned this through our last conversation we had had. At least I know I ended up being content with the mutual agreement.

                The second person that has been truly an important person in my life is one of my teachers from high school. His name is Mr. Magoon, an slender elderly man with big rounded glasses that were probably the style in the late sixties.  He showed me that with a strong effort anything can be accomplished. I was struggling with math at the time and he told me over and over the same thing. Not only did he help me by telling me something, he helped me by showing me exactly what steps need to be taken. Numerous times this man has helped me with more than math, he truly is one of the greatest examples of a good high school teacher.

                Lastly, I would like to briefly explain the last person who has been an important person in my life. My lead worker, but more of a friend now, Paul. He taught me most of what I know about pruning a tree and other maintenance work. Many times from the beginning he has shown me how to correctly do something and with great detail. He is the one making this job a career possibility for me. I just wish others would take notes from him. He is another older man in his fifties, very small, and very fit. He has the endurance of a twenty year old and literally is hard to keep up with during work. He is also one of the most down to earth people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He and I are the only ones in our company that can have a long-going conversation about whatever it might be. He is well educated in lots of subjects and very good with history. A matter of fact I’ve learned more from him than I did in the four years of history I took in high school. Again, he is great example of role model and has become an important person in my life.
