Personal Childhood Blog

            My mother was my first nurturing individual. She provided warmth and protection. She taught me how to be a young lady, which has inspired me through my adulthood. She not only taught me about Christianity, but walked the walk of what family and love is all about. She inspired me to think outside the box and make good choices in my life decisions. She taught me about God and how important he is to each of. I was nurtured in a Baptist church that I still attend. My family was brought up in this church and it still plays a great part in each of our lives.

 

               My father was a great inspiration to me. His spirit and kindness still abides in me. He did not talk much, but had a way in his demeanor that said more than any words could have been said. He provided love and a family environment that taught me respect for men. He protected and provided our family in a very positive manner. He was able to build our very first home. He exemplified how all families could be successful through hard work and commitment to family. He taught me about the importance of a strong Christian belief in God. And the importance of going to church and giving thanks to our creator.

 

             My oldest sister was my idle. I wanted to imitate her every move. She was so caring. She was there when I felt I did not know which way to go. She taught me to respect others and myself. She taught me how to learn to be independent and responsible for my actions. She protected me from some of life’s storms. She motivated me to go for my dreams and never allow anyone to destroy them.

 

                My oldest brother was such a father figure. He was always there when my parents were working. He still feels he is the family protector. I guess he really is. He is always available for giving advice when you may sometimes think you don’t need it, although you know he is exactly right. He can turns bad situations in to something good. He can show you how most things that happen does happen for a reason. He motivated me to further my education during a time I really needed to upgrade myself.

 

                    My first grade teacher really inspired me. She taught me my first academics. I learned to read and excel through her teaching. She inspired me to want to teach. She went above and beyond for our 1st grade class. It was so exciting learning to read from my Dick and Jane readers. We moved from soft back readers to hard backs. She was there for first real school setting.

Personalizing My Blog

Childhood is the most beautiful of all life's seasons. (Author unknown)

The title of a children's book I love is Amelia Bedelia. I love of her series of books. She gets everything mixed up and takes everything literally, but ultimately everything always works out. This is a lot like life. It always works out, not necessarily as we wish.

The story that touched my heart regarding a child was: My little 7 year old cousin had a bone disease that was fatal. He received bone marrow from his two year old sister and was so thankful!!  He lived  short time after the transplant.
