Pick ONE person - that is what the question asked for, and the admissions officer doesn't have all day to devote to a magnum opus.

Avoid using trite clichés in your discussion of how this person has impacted your life. Develop it, and if at all possible try to come at it from a different angle than the usual - use examples. If this person changed your life, detail the precise way, and illustrate how it came about and how it continues to shape the person you are today. Bear in mind that you want to come across as YOU, and you want the college admissions officer to say to him/herself - "YES. This is just the kind of person we want in our college. "

EDIT EDIT EDIT. No misspelled words, no awkward sentences, run-ons, errors in grammar or syntax. Ask your English teacher to help you.
