“The person that has influenced me the most would be Jeremy Killinger. He has been a big part of my life in my high school career and even before that. I didn’t start to get close to him until about 3 years ago. He’s influenced me by me being great every day. No matter what, he makes every day a great day, even when it’s bad, and he’s taught me that if you say ‘you’re awesome,’ you will be. He taught me that when times get tough just to calm down and relax and just to think and know that everything will be okay.” Jeremy Pilch, 11
