I feel as if each
individual Personal Childhood Web is
going to be different in some type of way.
I know mine is going to include those closest to me, and who have
remained closest to me through-out my life.
I feel even though it is a childhood web, this lasts through-out our
entire lives. We constantly teach and
learn from others as we grow older.
Learning never ends.
1. John – Father
Clearly when you hear
father you automatically think of nurturing and caring, but it is so much more
than that. He is my hero and always was
through-out my life. He is a
hard-working, determined and motivated man.
Family is his number one priority and most importantly my mother,
brother and me. I’ll always be
considered “daddy’s little girl.” The
love and care I receive from him is like no other I will ever feel. We have a special connection that will last a
life time. He would work nights when I was
first born up until I was about four years old, so I would spend the mornings
with him. It would be me, him, and
sometimes my brother depending if there was school or not. He has taught me so much about life already
and continues to teach me to this day. I
have learned how to have patience and how to make sacrifices for not only
myself but those I care about. I like to
think I inherited his passion and drive.
2. Lisa – Mother
There is nothing that can
compare to a mother’s love. This
statement is so true and I cannot wait to experience it for myself. I feel as if I had an outstanding role model
for a mother. She is awe-inspiring every
day and the type of independent woman I yearn to be. Although her and my father make the best team
she has taught me I do not need anyone but myself to make it far in this
world. Growing up we argued and
challenged each other daily. We still do
today but I know it is in the best ways possible. We are so much alike and that is why I believe
we butt heads like we do. Through-out
all the arguing and challenging I have never felt more cared for by anyone
else. When my first-grade teacher did
not teach me how to read, my mother made sure I learned and quickly if you ask
me. She didn’t want me falling behind in
any type of education. She continues to
push me today to be the best version of myself possible.
3. Anthony – Brother
This guy has taught me so
much in life and were only five years apart from each other. There is just something about having a
sibling that makes my life that much more special. It’s a different type of learning with
him. It definitely doesn’t involve that
same parental nurturing but something much more. It will always be me and him through our
lives. When we were little he was
excited to have a sister and since I was born he took me “under his wing.” To this day he teaches me motivation,
patience, passion and something as silly as common sense. I learn through his experiences and I hope to
be as knowledgeable as him one day. I look
up to him and admire his inspiration daily.
4. Rosario – Grandpa
When I was twenty I unfortunately
lost my grandfather. He is the most
inspirational and admirable man that I know and was lucky enough to have in my
life. I learned through his experiences
and the positives and negatives that he had to go through. I would go to his house after school with my
brother and have snack with him and on the weekends to have lunch. I am grateful for the time we were able to
spend together and the life experiences he taught me.
5. Ms. Yolanda – Second Grade Teacher
This person is just as
important to me as a family member. She
was the most caring elementary school teacher I had the privilege of having. She made sure each child in her class fully
understood each concept of everything that she taught. She made sure learning was fun and creative
and made me want to go to school. After
a rough first grade, I started to not like school. Ms. Yolanda made sure she changed my
mind. She cared for all of her students
and would even make phone calls home to inform parents how great we were
doing. I think this is important because
parents are used to only hearing from the teachers when their child has done
something negative. What stood out to me
the most was when Ms. Yolanda called my house when I had my ENT surgery over
spring break. Although I couldn’t speak
to her because I just had my tonsils removed, she stayed on the phone for about
a half hour just talking to me and making sure I understood that she was there
if I needed her.
