I have a very supportive group of family and friends. I feel that it is important to surround myself with people that are positive, loving and supportive. These families and friends assist me with my day to day activities and life.
The five people who are most supportive to me are my mom, dad, grandmother, preschool teacher and my friend, Alice. These special people all help in different ways, but I am the common factor.
My mom is my rock and best friend. She has always been there for me for obvious reasons, including helping me mature from a child to a woman. Any questions or concerns that I may have, she will anwser to the best of her ability. My mom provided me with the skills to be responsible and honest. She never lets me down and she always make me feel special when she cooks dinner for me daily. She always influenced me to fight for what I believed in as well as never back down to anyone unless you know that they are 100% correct.
My dad is the only real man in my life. He has always been there for me, no matter what. I love him and I know that he will be there for me through thick and thin. Any time I need any assistance with my car or a repair needed on my house, I call him. Even with two children,he makes both of his daughters feel happy and special by the daily hugs and kisses that are given upon arrival. He is very handy and willing to helop me any time I need assistance. As a child my father taught me how to ride a two wheel bike.I will never forget the time and effeort that her put into making this process easier. My dad provided me with the tool of preseverance. He always told me to try and try again.
My grandmother, Mrs. Walker was the perfect person in my eyes. She was respected and admired by all of her children and friends. She was a leader that understood the importance of being respectful and honest to my self and others. My grandmother provided me the skills to be honest and respectful to all people. I admire her for that and I feel that she is still a glimmer in my memory that affects me today. I still use her methods to teach and influence my son now as he goes through manhood.
My first preschool teacher, Mrs. Kelly, provided me with the tools to understand and learn more about the field of educaiton. She lead me through the steps needed to be successful in any career that I felt I needed to persue. As a young child, she would allow me to imitate the role of a teacher. I also had the oppportunity to observe and learn more from her. She still continues to influence me and make me feel special by her kind words and many positive powerful memories. These memories help me to teach the children in my classroom.
The last person that I feel affected me when I was young was my friend, Alice. She provided me with the tools to share and love. I admire her for taking the time to work with me through thick and thin. I still use the same ideals and games when working with the children in my classroom. I feel that no matter your age, it is still plenty of opportunities to love and have fun doing it also.
