My mom had a positive impact on my life. She has always been there for me and guided me in life. When I was sad she was there. When I needed someone to take too, she was there. She told me that I can be anything that I wanted to be in life. She should me how to be a good mom by setting an example raising my sister and I. She is a hard worker woman that has worked hard in her life. Without my mom I would not be who I AM TODAY.
My grandmother is a lady that I always thought I would be like. My grandmother has eight children and I always wanted to be just like her. She taught me that family is important and that no matter what they do to you, love them always. I watch her love and care for everyone including all the grands. She is still alive and she welcomes us in her home all the time. She talks to me and tell me that I am a very wise little girl. She always gave me positive words. With the positive comments and knowing that she knew that I was smart took me far in school and to this day I continue to do my best and love my family.
My dad has not always been in my life but he inspired me to always try my best. He was not in the home when I was a child but I visit him alot. He would always tell me that if I try I will feel good about myself. He told me to never give up in life. I always kept what my father told me and applied it to ever thing that I did in my life.
My step-mother always encouraged me to never give up. She told me to keep try trying until I get it. She always told me to keep trying. I applied this in my everyday life in school, at home and playing sports. As I got older I realize that it was a reason why she told me to never give up. I felt good about my self and I listen to what my family was trying to tell me. They wanted what was best for me and with that in my mind I turned out pretty good.
My sister made me a responsible person. I am the oldest but with that being said I had to look out for her. I had to care for her when mom was at work. She was my little baby and mama wanted me to take care of her when she was gone. I had to protect her and look out for her. She helped me to become a good mom. Caring for her taught me how to care for children and handle my responsibilities.
These 5 people are all part of my childhood web and they all have had great influences on my life. Without them being there when I was a child and encouraging me to do positive things I do not kn ow where I would be today. I was lucky to have such encouraging people in my life as a child.
