Personal Childhood Web

I would like to recognize five people that nurtured and chared for me as a child. Those people are Ms. Wesceta Fletcher, Mrs. Bertha Myers, Ms. Elmon Kendricks, Mr. Ms.Curtis Williams and Lottie Strong. Ms. Wesceta Fletcher is my mother. My mother has taken her time to ensure I become the woman that I am today. She has had faith in me when I did not have faith in myself. Mrs. Bertha Myers is my grandmother. Mrs. Bertha kept me safe when I was in trouble with my mother! Ms. Elmon is my great grand mother. This was my comedian, she was sooo funny to me. Ms. Elmon introduced me to seafood, which is my favorite today. Both Mrs. Bertha and Ms. Elmon always kept me in the kitchen while they were cooking which led me to be to great cook that I am today. Ms. Wesceta, Mrs. Bertha and Ms. Elmon are all very special peolpe that have nutured and cared for me. All three have set a strong foundation for me as well as the rest of the family. I am blessed to have them as part of my life. They have instilled such valuable morales and stability that has taught me the do's and don'ts in life. Eventhough I believe that experience teaches well, they tought me right from wrong. Mr. Curtis Williams is my father. He has tought me how a man should treat a woman. I remember when he used to pick me up and take me on a piggy back ride to the park and push me in the swing. I always knew that after the park we were going to Dixie Queen for ice cream. Ms. Lottie was my fifth grade teacher. She helped me get over my insecurities. As a child I was really chubby and felt ashamed a lot of times, especially when my moyher made me wear certain outfits. I would be withdrawn and antisocial. Ms. Strong used to always tell me "U better hold your head up an be proud of yourself", She would always say " hold your head up and look at people when they talk to you. Show your pride". I did not realize the importance of her telling me those things until I got older. I am thankful to have had her in my life at an early age. I fell that all of the above people are responsible for the woman that I have become today. As a result of having them in my life, I am a good mother, independent, well educated and love trying new things. I value family and spend as much time with my family as possible. I instill the same things that they instilled in me in my children. I am sure that my children feel that I am hard on them, but, one day they will appreciate it just as I did.
