Ben’s Submission
There are so many people who have had tremendous influence in my life. My parents have been two of the biggest influences in my life since I was born until today. My dad is my inspiration in life. He’s such a hard-working and caring man and is ultimately my backbone. He understands everything I go through and is always there for me when I need a pick-me-up. I am here at Michigan studying for of my home country and making him proud!
