My Personal Childhood Web
Mother: Growing up, my mother was always very sick with crohnes disease, therefore there was a lot of time missed between us. However, within the time we were together she was always nurturing, a bit over protective, and always made sure I stayed on my toes. She wanted to make sure I had the best upbringing possible so she introduced me to religion, she taught me to cook and clean, to be independent, strong, responsible, versatile and as she would say to me "I don't want you to be like me, I want you to be Better than me", Such a task I always felt I had no choice but to accomplish. Now that I am older I know I have made her proud with my growth as a young woman and all of my accomplishments,which she never hesitates to brag about, and she is proud to be able to see herself in me
Grand-Mother- My grandmother is like a second mother to me. She has always been there for every accomplishment and/or every hard time with the up most support, kind words of wisdom and warm heart. I could write a book with every saying she had, never sugar coated and having so much lifelong meaning and purpose. I always admired her sass, strength and sophistication and aimed to emulate her style. Now that I am older I see that the person that I am today has been molded so much by my grandmother and she never fails to remind me how glad she is of it.
Aunt- My aunt was always like the perfect older sister. She brought so much fun and joy into my life, showed nothing but love and affection towards me. She spoiled me as though I was her own child and allowed me to confide in her as though she was my personal diary. I remember visiting her in college as a young girl, the visits always stuck in my mind and I knew I HAD to go to college like my aunt. Growing up she always made sure I was up to date on my education and professionalism. She moved to different states a few times and I was always able to visit, which got me acquainted with traveling. I know the fact that I decided to further my education after high school and have such a passion for traveling to this day is because of her.
Great-Grandparents- My Great- Grandparents always reminded me of where I came from, my history. You could always feel the love in their household. I loved all the stories and treats I got from my grandfather and good southern meals I got from my grandmother. The thing I adored most as a child was their marriage. They were married 60+ years and I always promised myself that I would be like them one day and have such a strong family foundation.
God-Mother- My god mother was a very kind woman. She introduced me to so many different things. I will always remember her for introducing me to different culture, and a different way of living. She taught me how to swim, took me horseback riding, camping, trying different foods and so many other great experiences that I was able to carry with me and share with others.
