In my older life, and particularly within my job role, this has taught me that I can be emphatic and sympathetic towards people. I have always been interested in history, including my own family history. When I was young, I would sit for hours on end listening to grandmas stories of her own background and where she came from. This has given me a sense of my own self and has taught me how to be a good listener with the people that I care for in my working life. My parents always showed great dignity and respect for other people, their own parents, aunts, and uncles.
My father has always been my support system in my return to school. My father has always been there for me when I needed him the most. I always was in good and healthy living arrangements, so I never wanted for anything. Returning to school was a good decision for me and everybody I would say because the economy is at an all-time low. Stability is one of the reasons why I chose to return to school because I would someday be able to help my father the way he helped me and my family for myself as well.
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.
Instead of seeing the ugliness life sometimes forces upon people, I have been revealed the beauty that exists when a truly caring family is present. My parents made certain that I know they would turn the world upside down for me if they had to. They always made sure I was
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. Melvie Magdalene "Maggie" Johnson worked hard her whole life.
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.
Most events that occurred have made me the strong, confidant person I am today. Some meaningful memories that have occurred happened when I was still growing up. The most wonderful memories happened with my family. Without the support of my family my life would not have been as great as it is now. I remember my dad telling me that “life is what you make it to be and with heart and confidence you can be just about anything you want to be.” Those words always run through my head knowing that anything is possible if you just take the time and try to make it possible.
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.
Now my only struggle is to help and provide for my family and make them proud. My parents are getting older and so am I, I know soon I will have to leave the nest and eventually go build my own so I try to enjoy them as much as I can because I know this is part of the cycle of life. I will always have them in my mind and value the things they did for me and thought me. My family will always come first and I know if they ever needed me I will be there for them the same way they were there for me all my life. I love them to death and I know the strengths and knowledge they gave me will forever be in
* Due to all this I believe that I that at work I am a reliable, hard working person. Although I make mistakes sometimes, when I am told, I do my hardest to rectify that. * I’m punctual and I have never been late for anything. I believe as I’m mature for my age, I am a good role model for the people I work with, and as I have lived with someone with disabilities I can relate to them in some ways. * I am a forgiving and patient person, which I think is what you need to work in this sector.
