It is the basic blueprint for all life (not just humans). It provides the starting template for every new life. It codes for many of the traits that make you, you.
It's not the only factor though. Experience and environment (nutrients, activity, etc) play a huge role too. The DNA/environment combination is why identical twins are born nearly identical, but can become less similar with age (why identical twins aren't, in effect, a simple copy of one another).
Environment acts on individuals through DNA, however. It's why an excess of food could help make one person stronger and healthier, while it could make another person fat and unhealthy.
Simpler Version
It is what makes you unique and alive. DNA is what tells the cells how they are to function. Without DNA, there would be no cell division and therefore no growth.
