In my life I have had many major impacts in my life that motivated me towards what I should do in life. They have been caused by certain individuals, certain events, and certain educational experiences.

These classes impacted my life by showing what I am good at, which career I would most likely want to go into, and also how going into that certain career would help me benefit myself and the public.

It is not quite as simple as another person teaching them something because it is not just the transferring of information from one person to another. The person instead has to start from scratch and process the information they have in their mind in order to come up with a new thought
