Solution

  1. My father: He has been an inspiration to both me and my brother. He created his own business and grew it based on his ability. He emphasised the need for hard effort and honesty in all endeavours. He has positively impacted not only our lives but also the lives of many people who work with him.
  2. My mother: She has been selfless and dedicated to our family. She has also fought to improve the lives of youngsters from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Her optimistic attitude and dedication to others drive her success.

  4. My friend: Ananya has been a solid supporter and helped me overcome challenges to achieve independence and self-reliance. Her presence has helped me become a better person.
