Personal Childhood Web
My Personal Childhood Web was somewhat limited growing up however, there were two people that greatly influenced my life as a child: my mom and my maternal grandmother.
This is my maternal grandmother. She probably believed in me more than any other person in my life. She loved me unconditionally and she always believed that I was capable of anything. Unfortunately, she died suddenly of an aneurysm about eight years ago. She still influences my life today because her belief in me made me believe in myself.
This is a picture of my Mom and I. My Mom was my strongest supporter growing up. She worked part-time so that she could always be there everyday when I came from school. She was my Brownie leader and she went to every school play and soccer game. I always knew that she there for me whenever I needed her. My Mom continues to influence me today because I am a strong woman because of her.

A Children's Book That I Love
Favorite Quotes
"Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them."
Lady Bird Johnson
I love this quote because I have discovered that even if a child doesn't believe in themselves, if you believe in them and you tell them and show them how much you believe in them, they will succeed.
"The hunger for love is much harder to remove than the hunger for bread."
Mother Teresa
This quote speaks to me because I have worked with so many students that live in poverty and they require so much love and attention because they aren't getting it at home.
