Personal Childhood Web









My dad is someone who has influenced to be the person I am today. My father has always been the provider and made sure that our needs were met. He made sure that I had food to eat, clothes on my back and a place to sleep. He let me know how much he cared for me on a day to day basis. He expressed to me the importance of me finishing school and never let anyone stop me from getting my education. As a young girl watching my father go to work everyday has proved to me that hard work really pays off and you can really have what you need by going out in the world and earning it.





My neice, brother, and mother.



My mother has made a big impact on my life by teaching me responsibilities and the duties of being a woman. She showed me how to clean and do all the other chores around the house. She loves me and always made me feel special by allowing me to help her cook in the kitchen. All through my childhood, she has made me feel like I can achieve anything. She has always told me to stay focused and work hard. Especially as a teenager, she made sure that I understood and that I will have plenty of time for boys and don’t let them trick me into anything because education always comes first.

•              Ms. Mitchell was my third grade teacher and I will never forget her. I adored her and love being in her class. I was an “A” student in her class. She worked hard with me and never wanted me to give up and helped me until I grasp every concept that was taught. I felt a strong connection with her. She gave me confidence and put in plays even though she knew I was too shy and didn’t want to participate. Now that I am older, she still remembers me and always asks about my life. Ms. Mitchell is one of the main reasons why I wanted to work with young children.

My brother played a big role in my life. After all the fights we have gone through, we still are able to sit and have a conversation about life. He has told me numerous of times  that we have so many opportunities available and that no one should be seating around not doing anything that could make their life better. My brother’s conversations have such a big impact on my decisions that I make today. He shows me that he does care and wants the best for me. Even though we have our good and bad moments, I still look up to him.

• During my college experience, I came in contact with one of my college professors named Mrs. Carter. This lady has inspired me to continue my education. We had such a good connection and I knew that she saw something in me and wanted me to strive for the best. She influenced me by constantly telling me that learning never stops. She wanted me to take my degree and make it worth something. She told me different ways that I could be a great teacher and get the job I wanted. I have always enjoyed listening to her stories because I knew that each one has a meaning.
