Personal Childhood Web:
1. Mother - My mother was very young we she gave birth to be; I think she was around the age of 19 or 20. As I can remember my mother was a great provider for my sister and me. She was very strict when it came down to education, because her favorite quote was, "Nothing in life is free." Today I live by her quote; if I don't earn it I don't want no one to give it to me.
2. Daddy - My daddy was very gentle, loving, and understanding. He always said that I would be something GREAT one day. Growing up my daddy was always someone that I could turn to when I was feeling down, sad, or going through the stages of liking boys. He would tell me that things will be okay when I thought that I had failed in life.
3. Madear - Madear is my grandmother. As I remember back when my grandmother was living she would tell me to watch her do things so that I would make my future husband proud. She taught me how to be the woman that I am today. I learned to cook, sew, and be a loving wife and mother to my family.
4. Sister - My baby sister was a person that I can say nurtured me. Actually we nurtured each other; although she was a year younger than me, we grow up making sure that we were there for each other. The love my sister and I shared helped me today to love for others.
5. Teacher - My first grade teacher Mrs. Bigger is another person that has a huge impact on my life today. Mrs. Bigger reminds me of my mother a lot. She would give me assignments to do over and over until I did what she knew that I could do. Mrs. Bigger was not the type that would give up on her students; although I struggled with ADHD she still did not cripple my learning. She taught me to keep trying no matter how long it takes, and to work harder than the other students and I could achieve just as much as the rest.

Touching story
The most touching story that comes to mind would be the battle a co worker's daughter deal with with cancer. Cancer had taking over 80 percent of my co worker's daughter body when she found out that she had cancer. The little girl was a student at the Head Start that we bout taught. It appeared to take a toll on her all at once, I was able to actually see her body turn from a healthy, fun, beautiful little girl into a sad, sick, and miserable little girl. My heart went out to my co worker's family. Every time I think about the little girl sickness makes me tear up.
Favorite childhood book
Love You Forever by Robert Munsch & Sheila McGraw
I love this book because of the passion, and understanding that the mother gave to her son. The book was published in 1995, the same year my oldest child was born. I remember reading the story to her and telling her that I will rock her and love her forever. My daughter still have this book and so do my son.
