Probably the biggest influence in my life was my older brother. I have 3 sisters who are much older than me, therefore pretty much ignored me for most of my life. My brother is 5 years older than me. From him is where I got my love of sports and anything athletic. Whenever him and his buddies got together to play football, he always made them let me play, even tho I was a girl.School was a breeze for me because I got lots of practice doing his homework for him. He also taught me how to fight and to stand up for myself.
It's a shame he's such a piece of c**p now, :( I'm embarrased to tell people I'm related to him.
So, it's safe to say he does not mention you as his greatest childhood influence? ;)
