My Personal Childhood Web
5 people that contributed most to my personal development.......
1. My mother- She influenced me because she was the driving force behind me being the strong woman that I am... She taught me how to wait on no one and to work for anything that I desire. She always taught me the importance of being a good partner. She always complimented my father and supported his decisions when it came to the family.
2. My father- I was influenced by him because he showed me how to love. He also taught me about sacrifice. My father always loved me. He also showed me and my siblings the world . He made sure we had what we wanted, and needed before he got anything for himself
3. My maternal grandmother- She showed me life when I went to visit her she taught me the meaning of family. She did have material things but she showed how loving your family meant so much more.
4. My paternal grandmother- She was a school teacher. She is where I got my passion for learning, and helping others learn. She taught school for thirty years. She is my inspiration
5. My big sister- She is my inspiration because she showed me how to be a hard worker at a young age. She finished college while pregnant with my nephew. Then she has worked a fulltime job with two children and getting her masters.
I understand how great it is to have a great family system. I know how good Mahaley feels when family said good things about you.
Monica,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, it is wonderful to have a great family system. For a child to have members who inspire and encourage, that is love. I see you have some hard working determined women in your web, that is awesome. Also, to have your father be such an influence is wonderful as well. Families need that strong male figure to bring balance.
Hello Monica,
ReplyDeleteGreat post and I am glad to hear that you were able to have a good relationship with both of your grandmothers and how much you learned from them. I also had a great relationship with both of my grandmothers. My father's mother was always so patient with me and treated my like I was gold. So truly spoiled me until the day she died. She was 90 years old. My mom's mother was also patient with me because I was a severely sickly child. She was a big influence in my life and I think that because I was a caretaker of hers she left a lasting impact on me. She never wanted to be pitied and I think that is my I won't let things in life hinder me from being successful. Thank you for the your memories of your grandmothers.
