I have to write an essay about somebody who has influenced me significantly. I want to write about my brother who died a couple of years ago.. He was always there for me and gave me really good advice. When he died, everything he told me all of a sudden made sense to me.. And even today, when I get into a jam, I think of him and what he told me in the past, before he died... So I want to write the essay about his influence.. But he is no longer here.... how do I start this? I just need help with the introduction ... please help??
