He worked more than most dads, but in his off time he coached me and my friends. He not only was my dad but he was my coach, and as my coach he taught teamwork, dedication, and to believe in yourself. He not only taught this to me but he taught the team this too. I never got treated like a coach’s kid which was a good thing and a bad thing. I didn’t get special treatment; I had to work harder than anyone else to make sure that I earned my spot.

The kind of person who always demonstrated great zeal for every unlucky lives without requiring anything in return and great willingness to help everyone's misery, even though she wasn’t always going through the greatest of times. My mother has taught me more than anyone else. She not only inspired me the strength to overcome hardships in my life, but also left me with invaluable life lessons. Three wise words that come to mind when thinking of my mother, is strength, trustworthy, and supportive.
My mother was always a single mother, so just like space, as I was growing up, money was tight. But my mother never let that hold back my siblings and me from getting our education and other goals she set for us. She knew we could do things that we believed we couldn’t possibly do, so she always encouraged us to be our best, no matter whatever or whoever tried to bring us down. The people that are in my life today have had a huge impact on the person who I’ve grown to be. My family, but especially my mother has molded me with their standards and expectations of me, and for them I am thankful.
She is a very resilient woman who is smart, beautiful and loving. The other person I live with is my step-father, and he is the only father figure I have ever had. My step-dad is laid-back, understanding and has very good values. Another very important person to me is my sister, Destiney. Although she doesn’t live with me she is a huge part of who I am and also a huge inspiration to me.
Rebecca was sometimes out of her comfort zone but she didn’t let that get in the way of her finding out information. She was very dedicated in getting Henrietta’s story told, and she didn’t stop until she did just that. Next, every hero must enjoy what they do. In my eyes, Rebecca loved what she did because she helped the family in any way that she possibly could. If they needed or wanted to find out anything, she made it her job that it was going to happen.
Smith’s strengths are her loyalty, tenacity, and work ethics. She will still be anyone that she has placed in her circle and her family. She keeps going despite the hurdles and obstacles. Even though her husband had a lot of money and wanted her to just stay at home and raise the children, she insisted that she work and have her own money. She states that she doesn’t necessarily like working but she likes the fact that she works and can support herself and her children if needed.
She is known as the backbone of the family. If it was not for her, the family would have most likely fall apart. She makes sure that everyone treats each other like a family should. Raising all of us like sibling rather than cousins was the method she always used in order to keep the family bond close and unbreakable. No matter what happens, she makes sure that everyone is happy and joyful.
