Mom: My mom Chris has always been the one to nurture and care for me. Whenever I was sick, she would be the one to stay up with me. When I have problems, I can always talk to her. She may live 3000 miles away, but we talk almost every day. Even now, I’m going through a rough time, and she always seems to find the right card to send me to make me feel better. I learned from my mom, that it’s okay to voice your opinion. You can disagree with someone and still be nice about it. Don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself!
Dad: My dad is the funniest person I know! He is always doing something silly to make me laugh. He was a cook in the Army, so while growing up, he did alot of the cooking, and yes we always had plenty of leftovers. We use to tell him he only needs to cook for 4 and not 400! I remember when I was starting my Senior year of high school, he wanted me to quit my part time job. He wanted me to enjoy my final year of high school. My dad dropped out of high school in the 9th grade, and he was determined that I was going to be different. I was to graduate and go to college. He is my driving force to who I am today.
David: My brother. He is 6 years older than me. As a child, he was my tormentor but also my protector. He tried to teach me not to let others push me around . Even to this day, he still protects me.
Mama: my grandma on my mom’s side. We grew up living next door to my maternal grandparents. When both my mom and dad worked, mama would babysit us. She taught me how to cook some of the best southern foods! I remember when I would get ill, she would come over with some back woods remedies/cures, but they worked. She would sit and tell stories about her younger days and how things were so different. I loved those stories and miss them.
Aunt Freda: She is my absolute favorite aunt. When I was growing up, she would take me shopping, we would do errands together and I would spend the night at her house. She makes the best coconut cake ever. Just for my last birthday, she made one special just for me and brought to my work! She is feisty, and speaks her mind. She has taught me to have a backbone. She maybe 76 but she is still going strong. She still works full time. We talk at least 2-3 times a month. My mom tells me everyday I’m just like her!
