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.

Quote

"While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.” I'm not sure who the author is on this one.

This quote is inspirational to me. As parents, teachers, adults, it is our job to teach children about life, but in reality the child, allows us remember what life really is about. Life is simple, it shouldn't take much to make a person smile. Although, as we mature, we should not take the innocence out of life. It's pure, and simple, we should have the ability to see that when we look at children.

My son, doesn't judge people, at all, not the way they look, talk, dress. All he wants is somebody to play with. When I see this, it makes me think, about how easily it is for an adult to pass judgement on somebody before they get to know them. Many kids, don't. I think as adults we can learn so much from children, as long as we slow down and pay attention.

Thanks
