She liked going to school to learn so she could be ahead of people and once she knew the material, she could go back and help her peers.

Half the Woman By: Tori Clark She was a mother, a sister, an aunt, a hard worker, and my great-grandmother, but most of all, she was and still is the biggest influence in how I live my life. She has shaped my life in many ways; she taught me to be nice to everyone, appreciate what you have and never be selfish because you won’t always be here in this world. She also taught me to work hard in school and in the outside world, and to no matter what to never give up. She didn’t necessarily teach me how to do these things or sit down and have a talk with me about never giving up it’s just something I picked up from the long life she lived.
