PERSONAL CHILDHOOD WEB

Five people who nurtured and cared for me when I was a child

Mother

My mother has played an influential part in my life as a child she was teacher for over 30 years. She taught me to be independent, caring and strong. She provided unconditional love and taught us how to be giving, caring people. I am still influenced by her in that she encourages me to continue to strive to continue to further my education, be a loving, nurturing mother and wife.

Father

My dad was very influential even though he was only in my life for 9 years. I learned the meaning of hard work and dedication. How to be giving of myself to family and friends. He was strong caring and provided for his family. Although he was in my life for a short time I was truly a "Daddy's Girl". I can only hope and pray that I have made him proud. I am still influenced today by his tireless work ethic.

Godmother

My godmother has been so inspirational and influential. We share the same birthday and she was my mother's college roommate. She also was a teacher and to this day still does substituting. She has shown me so much unconditional love and how to be a listening ear. I can go to her for any source of advice and can expect an open minded opinion. She has been very nurturing and so influential in molding me into the person I have become.

Neighbors

My neighbors growing up all around me were very giving people. They all looked out for the children in the neighborhood. They taught us about sharing, being productive citizens to society and helping the community. Even though I don't still live in the same neighborhood they are still influential in that they taught me lifelong lessons in being generous, caring and giving back to the neighborhood.

Teacher

I have had two influential teachers who helped with teaching me and nurturing me as a person. My 12th grade English teacher and my 12th grade Business teacher. My 12th grade English teacher encouraged me to continue my education. My term paper for the end of the year she advised me to use as a guide when I go to college. She said it was so eloquent and thought provoking that I should use it to influence me when I continue to write. My business teacher made a great influence when she taught us about going to interviews and getting a job she advised us on what to wear and to be on time. I have carried that advice to this date I do not like to be late for anything. I take great pride in being on time. I am only late if there is something that is beyond my control.
