Audrey Mcgregor: A Brief Biography
One of the most influential people in my life is Conor McGregor because of

his determination to be the best and always succeed in everything he does and if

he can not achieve the goal then he admits his faults which is very respectable.

Several years had gone by and he had needed a job so he became

a licensed plumber but was struggling to make ends meet before he was noticed

by Dana White the president of the UFC. Just a few weeks before his UFC debut

would become one of the most well known and highest paid UFC athletes in the

had all started when his sister Erin giving him a book called The secret by Rhonda

Byrne” (Outrages Conor McGregor: His irish roots and improbable American dream).

Conor McGregor is such an inspiration because he has created his own life

and not left things up to fate. Everything he has, he has worked for because he knew

no one would give him hand outs which is very admirable, he shows

determination and an obsession with achieving his goals. Growing up I had

struggles involving moving constantly, occasional family problems, and more
