My parents have been a great support system, they have always been there to encourage me and instill in me that I can do whatever I put my mind to. I am grateful for them because they have always been there for me no matter what I have been through. I am who I am because they have put so much time and support into allowing me to grow and become me.
My grandmother the foundation and back bone of our family. Seeing her raise seven kids struggling to make sure that they all had the best with a limited income inspired me to know that anything is possible. Her and my grandfather who is not living now stressed the importance of education and family bonds. On a limited income that made sure that all of their children had the best education by working two jobs to send them to private school and sending them to the best colleges. Seeing that, made me see the importance of education and how you can do anything if you put your mine to it. Also, in this picture is my sister who also was there for me every step of the way.
Because I was the first grandchild, of seven brother and sisters and I had so many different people standing behind me making sure that I made the right choices. Every accomplishment that I made they were all there to support me and cheer for me and happy that I completed the next step.
I loved how you referred to your grandmother as the foundation and backbone of your family. What a visual statement, I can really tell that she really was a big influence in your life.
ReplyDeleteLike you my family is a significant foundation of who I am today. My grandparents, parents, and siblings have played a big hand in how I have turned out. My parents have always supported each one of us as we made decisions through life. They were always there to celebrate our triumphs and support us through our stumbles. My husband and I both try and provide that same love and support for our little ones so that they too can be confident about who they will become one day too.
