Outside of revered religious figures, what person has been the best or biggest influence on your life?
My mom. Our family went through a lot, but she led my brother and me through it with confidence and grace (with the help of my wonderful maternal grandparents).
my mom.
The death of my sister ultimately shaped the person who I am today. But it is my children who influence me everyday. They are my breath. They are the reason why I am who I am today.
My mom. Even though she was a single parent working two jobs and still tight a budget, she never made us feel we were a burden, and always let us know we could be anyone we wanted to be through hard work and applying ourselves.
