My mother is the one that has been
by my side since day one. She made sure that I went to church, said prayers,
school, completed homework, and stayed on the Principal and Superintendent list.
There are three things that my mom always told me and they are:
“You can stay at home and be a dummy”
“I want you to go to school and make something out yourself
“I want you to be better than me”
She was a really big influenced when
she went back to school and got her Bachelor’s and Master’s. It motivated to
the point that I finish my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees as well. Seeing my
mother walk across the stage to get her Bachelor’s I was filled joy and
happiness. She has taught and encouraged me to the best at whatever I do.
My Father has always been tough on
me. He says that he is tough because he want me to depend on myself and not a
man. My father has been a big influence on my life since I was a child. He has
taught me everything about working in the house as well as in the yard. I know
how to cook, wash, change tires, change oil, plant and hoe peas, corn, tomatoes
and etc… all because of him. My father only made it to the 7th grade
but he is a very bright and intelligent man. No matter what it took out of my
father, he always made sure that we had food, shelter, and running water. Even
though, he is disable to work, he still plants a little food to provide for his
children and grandchildren. My father can be very mean and tough at times but I
know that is way of showing me that he loves me.
This is my one and only sister and
she is the oldest. But at times I feel like I am the oldest. Growing up was
hard for us to get along because of the eight year age difference. After I
turned sixteen, our relationship got better. My sister always supported me no
matter what. She never judged me or tried to throw things in my way. She
listened and let me experience some things on my own. There was a time that I
felt like giving up but she encouraged me to keep going because I was at the
door. She has always help take care of me since I was a baby. My sister made me
feel special when she first came to me for advice. I was shocked but excited
that my older sister needed my help. Ever since that day, our sisterly bond has
tighter than ever before.
This is my baby brother. He has
always given me a run for my money. Even though, I am two years older he still
tells me what to do. Since we were small, I always went to him before I made
any decision. He has helped me through college as far as helping with Math
homework and financially. He has influenced me a lot. He has taught me how to
manage by money and save it. I kind tell that he cares for me and he just want
to see me succeed in life.
This here is my fiancé and daughter.
They are my backbone and everything I do, I do it for them. My fiancé and
I have known each other since middle school. He has always been supportive in
my moves since we were kids. He has been together for 8 years and we have had
our ups and downs but he has always encouraged me no matter what. He has made a
big impact on my life and has shown me how to love in spite of the situation.
Our daughter is one year old and she is my motivation. Waking up and seeing her
smiles motivate me to do my best so that I can continue to provide for her. My
daughter is my influence for returning back to school. I want to be prepared when
she is ready attend school. I want to be able to help in very way possible.
