im nervous, because im playing the line of whether or not im answering the question, and either it will be appreciated as unique and interesting or frowned upon as not answering the question... thats the biggest reason im looking for outside help lol. im nervous about taking a risk...
Here's a tip, a person can't impact your life because impact is an action verb, so unless your bodies collided, that is poor usage. Also the person WHO changed, influenced or affected your life, not THAT. That is for objects, who is for people.

Enjoy the free tips.
