My Mom Sherlynn

Although my mother passed away when I was only eleven years old, she was a huge influence on my life.  She always told me that I would make her proud and that I should always follow my heart.  Prior to my mom becoming sick, we spent lots of time together.  She basically taught me how to be a good my to my children at the early stage in my life.  I would always help to take care of my younger siblings and cousins.  When I was a young child, she was very involved in my school life and made me feel loved everyday.

My Grandmother Edith

My grandmother was a big influence  on my life because after my mom died she took over the motherly role.  She taught me how to cook, clean, and how to take care of myself as a young lady.  She always spoke highly of my siblings and I and made us feel good about how my mother raised us.

My Family Friend Gail

Gail was a very important in my life as well.  She was always there when I needed someone to talk to.  She would drive me to bible class, sports events and girl scout meetings weekly.  Gail would always tell me how pretty and special I was even though I didn’t always feel that way.  She prepared me for my first dance and my first date as a teenager.

My Aunt Dorothy

My aunt Dorothy influenced my life as a young child by teaching me to always do whats right.  She took me to bible class and church every Wednesday and Sunday after my mom died.  She would always tell me not to ever lister to people who would say I couldn’t or wouldn’t do and have anything in life, and to always follow my dreams.  She encouraged me to do well in school and to always strive to be the best person I could be.

My Cousin Michelle

My cousin Michelle had a huge influence on my life because I looked up to her.  She was about 10 years older that I was and she always made time to help me with homework and school projects.  She would attend all of my sporting events and encourage me to always do my best.
