My most cherished person that has influenced my life is my mom. She has always been a great support in my life, even during the ups and downs. She not only is my mother, but also a friend. She has encouraged me to finish my education because she wants me to have the best possible life. She has taught me about hardwork, how to care for others, to be a good listener and to be a sweet person. She continues to impact my life daily. She is a great grandmother to my two boys. She is always striving to be self-sufficient and has taught me to be the same way. She loves me and has always stressed that no matter what, she will always love me.  

Another person who is a great influence in my life is my sister. She is a great mom to her three kids and has taught me so much about parenting. I follow her advice and watch the things that work for her in her daily routine. She has always been there for me. She continues to astound me as a model Christian women. She has taught me to love others, be patient and kind and to lead with a clear head and not just my heart. I've always been her little sister but recently we can now call each other friends. I am so glad that our children live close together and will have a special bond.

My fouth grade teach Mrs. Joyce continues to be an influence in my life. She not only taught me how to multiply and divide, but that someday I would grow up to be an educator. She has always been the best example of what a teacher should be: loving, caring, understanding, patient, encouraging and nuturing. I spent a lot of time with her as a young child, during school and after school. Even as I passed Elementary school, I would go back year after year to still see her and say hello. In my early 20's I moved away and lost touch with her. When I went back to the old neighborhood, I realized that the school was closed. Oddly enough, she found me on Facebook. She now encourages me to finish my master's degree and to stay in the educating field. I always wanted to be just like her. :-)

Another wonderful person in my life is my best friend. She and I have been friends for more than 25 years. She is a great influence on my life everyday. She has taught me how to be a better friend, a better mother, a better Christian and a better person. She has always been there for me during the ups and downs. She has made me feel special by just being my friend. She encourages me to finish my education and to follow my dreams. We are like sisters in so many ways. I am lucky to have her in my life because she is a great example of a wonderful spouse, mother, friend, sister, fellow Christian and person.
