Okay, I'm talking about a family member who has had an important influence in my life. It's my mom. She is the person I have known the longest. Although she has given me both positive and negative influences, I have learned a lot from her, such as saving money skills and how to organize. Sometimes I learned from her how to gather information in the market. On the other hand, she has also had some negative effects, as she can be a negative person at times. However, no one is perfect. I think I can learn from this. In summary, my mom is important to me not only because she is my mom, but also because she has been a significant part of my life for a long time. And yes, that's it.
