The Kite Runner
After reading The Kite Runner during my Senior year of high school, I realized that one decision can potentially alter the rest of one's life. If Amir had told someone about Hassan being raped by the neighborhood bully or if he hadn't of framed Hassan of stealing, then his life wouldn't have been filled with so much regret and sadness. Amir's journey back to Kabul to set things right decades after making a cowardly mistake taught me how to be a more moral and ethical person.
The Five People You Meet In Heaven
TFPYMIH opened my mind to the thought that all people are linked somehow and affect each other's life, even if we realize it or not. Though Eddie saw his place in the world as worthless and unimportant, the book taught me that everyone is loved and cared about.
Go Ask Alice
This book heavily influenced my take on drug abuse and family. I promised myself I would never indulge in illegal substances, although I have been made fun of because of it. The nameless narrator's disatisfaction with her family taught me to never take my own family for granted and appreciate their influence on my life.

Good choices. I recommend you read The God of Small Things, another novel that shows how one decision can change everything.
