My Childhood Web

The most important people to me when I was a child, were my parents especially my dad, my one sister, my one aunt, and my 4th grade teacher.

My parents raised six girls, my dad was the only one working. He did anything and everything he could to make sure we did not go without. He worked swing shifts, with doing that, he packed my lunch for school, got me off to school, and home from school, he helped me with my homework, and he spent time with me. A lot of time. My dad and I are still very close, he is my best friend. I know through anything I can count on him.

My sister Jenna, I always wanted to be just like her when I was younger. She also helped me with my homework, and was and still is there for me any time I need anything.

My aunt passed away when I was about seven. But before then, she always let her nieces know that we were important to her. She would come over every weekend with us. She read with me, took me shopping. I remember being little, (she had cancer), and she showed me how to take care of her wig, when she was going through chemo-therapy.

My fourth grade teacher, was very creative in the how she taught. She made learning fun. I had a Valentine's Day party at my house, she came to it. She never gave up on her students. She is one of the reason why I chose to direct my life towards, education.

The people in my life, made it possible for me to be a strong adult. They helped me learn how to spread my wings, but if I happened to fall, they were there (and some still are) to help me on my feet again. They took the time out of their lives to be an important person in mine.

The Desire to Teach

I have changed my mind so much in what I wanted to do with my life. When I was younger and in highschool, I thought I wanted to be a teacher, seeing how much my teachers inspired me to do more with my life. Showing me that their is always a way to do whatever I want to do. But then, I thought I changed my mind. But again, time and time again, I came back to wanting to work with children.

Learning is so important. Education is the key to everything. If a person does not have an education, they dont havr much of anything.. (I don't mean to offend anybody).

Teaching is no longer an option for me, it's something that I want to do, that I feel I need to do.
