I would say that my mother was the greatest influence.

00:00:53.255 --> 00:00:55.724
She did not graduate from high school, and she wanted 

00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:57.835
something better out of life for me.

00:00:57.870 --> 00:01:00.487
She did not push me in any particular direction, but 

00:01:00.522 --> 00:01:03.154
she encouraged me to explore many fields before I made 

00:01:03.189 --> 00:01:04.415
a decision.

00:01:04.450 --> 00:01:07.169
Once I made my decision, she helped me to decide that 

00:01:07.204 --> 00:01:10.087
furthering my education through seminars and classes 

00:01:10.122 --> 00:01:12.789
would be helpful in enhancing my career.
