1. Ollie (Step-Father) -

My Step-father raised me since I was 4 years old. He provided all my basic needs and necessities. He cared and loved me and made sure that I felt special by telling me how smart and beautiful I was. He encouraged me to go to school to continue my education so that I can live a happy and successful life. He would always tell me as a child that, "Education is key, and you don't want to be locked out, do you?" It always made me laugh! Of course, my response would always be, "No!

My father is still a very important part of my life and continues to make me feels special by showing how proud he is of me by telling everyone that I graduated college and is now in a Master's program. His support has been overwhelming. His kind and encouraging words helped me to through the many struggles I face on a daily basis. He has become my mentor and personal counselor.

2. Linda (Mother) -

My mother was more of the nurturer. She provided love, care, and concern. She took care of all of my emotional needs and made sure that she spent adequate time with me so that I felt loved, wanted, and needed. My mother always made it a point to tell me that she wanted me to be better than her in life. She wanted me to have a better education, a better job, and a better life style.

Now as an adult, my mother and I don't always see eye to eye but, one thing is for sure, she always tells me that she is proud of me and what I have accomplished thus far.

3. Heather (Older Sister) -

My sister and I were always close. In fact, in high school she made it a point to tell all of our friends that we were twins and till this very day, some of them think we really are. We are only one year apart and yes we do look alike, and we definitely do get on each other's nerves but, that's what family is for. Families get on each other’s nerves and help push each other forward in life. She has always been someone that I looked up to for guidance.

4. Jason (Only Brother) -

My brother and I are very close, almost inseparable. He has been a part of my support system for a very long time. He is such a comedian and I love that about him. No matter what I am sad or down about he will make it a point to always have me smiling. I call him my little "Jim Carrey." He was always a person that I was able to open up and communicate with about anything.

5. Lisa (Youngest Sister)-

My little sister has influenced me to become the person that I am today. She and my older sister had learning disabilities that made it difficult for them in school. I would always help my younger sister with her homework and seen first-hand at a young age how she was different. She taught me patience, love, kindness, strength, perseverance, and love. She gave it everything she had every time I would help teach her something, which sparked a fire in my heart that inspired me to be in the education Field.

Overall, my entire family mother, step-father, and siblings have all shown how proud and supportive they can be. They are all very proud of my accomplishments and continue to support me in my journey of success. They want me to be happy in whatever line of study or career field that i choose. I have a great support system
