READING
We interviewed three people about how family and friends have affected their
personalities.
Maria Stanovich
I’ve always had a strong relationship with my family. An important influence on my
personality was my grandmother, Hannah. She was born in 1930 into a poor family with
seven children – they had to take very good care of each other in order to survive.
Growing up in such difficult conditions had a positive effect on her, teaching her to
share everything, be honest, helpful, hard-working, and affectionate. My grandmother
taught me all these things, making me realize that family is more important than
material possessions.
Katie Dupont
The people around you have the greatest influence on your life – they affect the way
you behave and think. As soon as Rob and I met, we connected. When Rob was
young, his father died in a motorcycle accident. Being brought up as an only child by a
single parent made him independent and ambitious. He left home at 16, and since then
has lived in different places and had various jobs. He’s taught me that it’s important to
find time for friends and family and to do what makes you happy. He always has fun,
trying new things, keeping his mind and body healthy, and he still works hard to achieve
his goals. I greatly admire Rob and I hope that one day I can look at life in the way that
he does.
Jed Mitchell
I spent many hours as a child listening to my uncle Wilson’s stories. He was the
youngest of 11 children whose family lived in a fishing town in Scotland. Life was hard
and with so many mouths to feed, the children began working from an early age. At just
14, my uncle began his first job as a fisherman. That was the beginning of his
adventures – he travelled and worked in Alaska, South-East Asia, India, and Africa. He
educated himself, learnt to be a chef, an engineer, a farmer, and photographer. Uncle
Wilson taught me that life is special and that you should take every opportunity that you
can to fill it with adventure.
