How much influence do your parents have?

My parents have a huge deal of influence on me. Good example here. My dad loves cars. When I was like 3 or 4 my dad took me outside to help him. So began my love affair with cars. (Song quote there) Yea, my parents have a ton of influence on me. I think my softball obsession came from him. For my 5th birthday my dad bought me my first bat. I had gone to every softball game he played in. I was there little cheerleader. So when he couldn't play anymore he decided to coach my team. I though it was the coolest thing ever....... my dad the coach! Another really good example, my love of photography. My dad used to take these amazing photos and he would always tell me that someday he wanted one of his photos published. So I am working on becoming that good. My mom has an example to, she had an obsession with cooking so I became a fairly good cook. That's another thing I continue to work on.
