5 Important People Who nurtured and cared about me most when I was a child: 

This is a Picture of my mother Joyce and out of all the people that has influenced my life the most she is the most important. My mother raised me to have the utmost respect for everyone. She nurtured me into the woman that I am today by teaching me right from wrong and guiding my everyday footsteps. She always encouraged me to do my best at whatever I chose to do.  She supported my decision and always gave me feedback about any choices that I made. She always made me feel special by just using this one quote: "You can do anything that you put your mind to". She always told me that I am a smart beautiful woman and never let anyone else tell you other wise, Keep you eyes on the prize. Her strong words and support and feedback still stick with me in my personal life today and she continues to provide me with support and encouraging words.

This is a Picture of my sister Ebony and I. She is another important influence in my life. She has always been my biggest supporter. When my mother was sick she took care of me. She always talked to me whenever I just needed advice or somebody to talk to as a young child and still to this day she continues to that. At a young age she always helped me with making important decisions  She stayed on me about the importance of education. She taught me my time tables when I was little, she potty trained me, she taught me how to read and she just loved me for the person that I am. She always made me feel special. She would take me with her everywhere she went weather it was to her friends house, basketball game, dance class, recitals she even let me come stay with her while she was in college. She made me feel like I was the best sister in the world. Her guidance that she gave me to make smart decisions and to further my education is something that is still influencing in my life today.

These two Wonderful people are my Grandmother and my Grandfather they have spoiled me a lot over the years and still do till this day. As a a child they took care of me by keeping me, clothing, me, feeding me, supporting me financially  all the normal things that grand parents do. Both My Grandmother and my Grandfather supported me in everything I did as a child they came to my all my sport events, academic events, choral events, band and graduations. They helped my stay on a great spiritual track by always taking me to church and they taught me the importance of keeping God first in everything that I do. My Grandparents always made me feel special just by always being at my events and supporting me and of coarse by spoiling me and getting me just about anything that I wanted. There guidance of me spiritual continues to remain as an important aspect in my life; there kind words, and the support that they gave me help me to continue to strive and be the best that I can be at life.

This Guy right her is Lester Wilder. He has always been a friend to the family and when I got to high school he was my basketball coach. This guy was like a father figure to me, he was there just as much if not more than my real dad. At a young age and throughout my life he has always been the one that gave me a lot of tough love. As a child I use to get real upset if I didn't get something on the first try he would always be the one to say "Don't ever give up with ya Knuckle Head self." That was his way of showing me love, but at the same time teaching me how to not give up at anything in life and to continue to try, try again. He just knew how to keep me straight. He always made me feel like I was his own daughter. he would take me out with him just to have dinner and spend time with me. As I got older those outings turned into conversations about me and what I was thinking about doing with my, talk about any problems that  I had or it was just to spend time. His words still stick with me today, I always try my best at what I do and if I do not get it the fist time, I just try it again. He continues to be a great support system and great person to talk to till this day.
