What I feel that has influenced me has to do a lot with my peers that I am surrounded by. My peers are the main influences that showed me how to talk, by observing and understanding their lingo I was then influenced to talk like the way they do. Even though I would talk the same way with my friend does not mean I talk the same way with my parents, co-workers, other people in my family or any random people I would meet on the street. I have also been in influenced by my parents they have showed me the proper way to greet people whenever I met someone new. The way I talked to my family has to the a lot with my mother speaks, I have learned a lot by hearing and observing the way she would react or talk when she and her elder were to talk to another. By observing her and her teaching I the proper way to talk to other people has showed me to be polite and especially respectful to my elders. As time goes on I am now being more influenced by my co-workers rather than my friends because I am more surrounded by people in a field where professionalism is constantly influencing me to be a professional person as well as being more mature in the way I talk. Ever since I started college I have been surrounded by people who talk very well in a professional manner. Because of this I feel like my co-workers who are also being influenced to talk professional is influencing me even more to change my language in the way that I am supposed to speak in a proper manner. But this does not mean I am going to change up the way I talk with my peers outside the corporate field. i am at the stage where i am able to switch up my language when i am at a professional setting. i have many people who has influenced me in the way that i talk not just 1 person or group of people.
