My Mom
My mother is the text book definition
of “mom”. She has always shown my
unconditional love, guidance, and support.
She told me daily she loved me and was ALWAYS there when I needed
her. To this day, my mother continues to
show me this love. I know how to love
and give unconditionally because of her.
My Dad
My father is the hardest working
man I know. When I was a child and even
to this day my father told me every day he loved me. He was home for dinner almost every night and
no matter how tired he was, he made sure he was at every game, dance recital,
or school function. My father talked to
me, never at me, and believed in making sure I understood “why”, whenever I
asked. As I get older, I try to harness
his good work ethic and compassion for the ones I love.
My Younger
Brother
My
brother and I were so close growing up.
We did everything together! Each
afternoon he would wait outside with my mom for me to get home from
school. He looked up to me and it felt
good! Now that he is growing into a young adult he shows me he cares in his own
quiet way.
My
brother taught me to try to be a role model in all I did.
My Grandparents
My
grandparents have always been there for me and continue to always be there for
me. They told me they loved me all of
the time and were supportive in everything I did. They taught me to look past a person’s
appearance and get to know them. You can
be surprised how wrong your original judgments were.
My Community
I could not pick just one person
for this spot. I grew up in a very
supportive community. Each and every
person I encountered at school, in my neighborhood, and town had an influence
over me. My teachers were my biggest
advocates aside from my family. My
neighbors watched over me as if I was their own. My town worked together to ensure we (the
children) had what we needed in order to thrive and become productive members
of our community.
