Personal Childhood Web
Five people that have influenced me as a child:
1. Mother- Has influenced me not to limit myself when obstacles come my way. I've learned through her guidance to make things my stepping stone and continue to press forward toward the mark of achieving my goals.
2. Sister- Tiffany (she is my oldest sister) She is the epiphany of a fine young woman. Tiffany and I are seven years apart and we are extremely close. We talk on the phone roughly everyday or every other day. She is one person I feel confident in talking too, she’s always there to listen, whether I ask for her opinion or not she ready to give one. I value the time were able to spend together because it’s not often I am able to go to New York to visit.
3. Mrs. Alaya- She was the school counselor, I could go in and talk to her about anything, her spirit was so warm and inviting. I felt like she didn’t' judge me or any of the situations I was in or facing.
4. Mrs. Nettleton- was my favorite elementary school teacher; I was so lucky to able to have her in the fourth and fifth grade. She was one of the sweetest people I thought I'd ever meet. I could always count on her standing besides her door in the morning with such a bright, warm smile; it was something about her and her teaching style that made me love coming to school!
5. Bobbie Jean Jones (my nana): She managed to teach me a lesson in the simplest tasks. We could be sitting at a stop light and she's share information about years prior the stop light wasn't in the same location and how the town has changed so much throughout the course of time. Or she'd share the importance of not walking in front of the stove while baking a cake- it will sink inward in the middle.
