The five people in my family that nurtured me as a child was my father, my mother, a church member, my grandmother, and a teacher. These five were there for me more than anyone:


My father Frank who was and still is my motivator, someone who shielded me and always protected me. He provided for me and made sure I had food to eat and a roof over my head. He even took me to wrestling fights and always instilled in me to work for what I wanted and never depend on no man. He always made me feel special because he taught me many things like driving and sightseeing. I enjoyed sitting on his leg listening to him talking to me about what's right and wrong and he still does that today. His love for me is unconditional.


My mother Ella influenced me as a child because she always loved and believed in me. She laid with me when I was sick and took me to the doctor. Mom took me to the playground to play and always took me to Sunday School and to church. Mom always told me to believe in God and never take him for granted. She made sure I did my homework and stayed on task at all times. She told me to always do unto others as they do unto you. When I got out of control she always put me back on track and still do today whether I like it or not. She always showed me love then and now and always tell me too. We are close like sisters and always always will be.


My church member Mrs. Waters played a vital role in my life. She taught me about the bible and always gave me a part in the plays at church. She chose me to go on trips with the church and always chose me to speak . Mrs. Waters made feel special and she still does right now today. She always encourage me now to raise my children like I was raised up in church and always praise me for a good job I do with my children. When I do good in church now she praise me so therefore I will always look up to her as a major role model in my life.


My grandmother Laura who was a joy to my life and always came to pick me up on the weekend to spend the night with her. She took me fishing and always walked me all over town. She cared for my all my siblings and the other grandchildren in the family. Grandmother taught me how to be nice to people and how to wash dishes and clean clothes. I loved watching her sit in the window and the long conversations we use to have. She has passed away to be with the lord but her memories and her sweet smile will always live in my heart forever.


My 1st grade teacher Mrs. Griffin who was a sweet and kind person that taught me the ropes of life starting with my colors, numbers, and the most important how to write my name. When I did wrong she paddled me and let me knew why she was doing it. She taught me how to understand the facts of life and to always to encourage myself when no one else would. Mrs. Griffin quote was to finish school and be the best that you can be.
