Dad- My biological father was a positive male role model in my life. My Father gave me guidance and discipline and focus. As a child her was firm because he wanted me to have rules to go by and structure to succeed. My father made me laugh always and used humor to guide me.
Mom- as a young child my biological mother she always wants and to this day aspires for me to be positive and strive for my best. My mother believes in working hard and never giving up or in on things. My mother was a my advocate and always supported me in the choices I made as a child
Ms Kramer 3rd grade Teacher- I was a 3rd grade student in Ms Kramer class. I like that she never yelled or made me feel afraid. I always could work on class projects and she was very kind to me as a small child.
Care Taker Lisa- My parents worked many hours and day care was not always open. I had a young college gal take care of me, she would make me lunch and we would do homework and she took care of me and made me feel safe. I was glad to have Lisa look after me.
Childhood Friend David- I have known David since I was 10 years old. I always related to David, as we were both only children. I always had a good time with my childhood friend and we connect to each others past it is important when you have friends who have seen you grow and develop and remember you way back when.
Present Life Influence
I lost my father in November 2010 and it has been a tough transition. I keep all of his support in love close to me. I stay with my Mom as we are changed and I was an only child but remain close, I lost touch with Ms Kramer and Lisa – About eight years ago I went to Lisa’s wedding and it was nice to see her. David is my childhood best friend and we talk through out the month and still enjoy talking about when we were growing up.
The Beaches in California is a place I have shared with each of theses quality individuals during my childhood and I return to through the course of my life =)) !
Wow I am amazed at the influence your third grade teacher had on your development. Out of all the schooling you've had, you place a special emphasis on your third grade teacher. I hope that I make such an impact on my students and on any students that I may have in the future.
ReplyDeleteI'm also very sorry about the loss of your father. I think one thing that we forgot to consider in this weeks topic, is how a loss or lack of something can contribute to development.
I'm sorry to hear about your father, it's hard to lose a loved on so close and connected to your heart but just remember that he will always be with you in momery and spriti.
