Personal Childhood Web

There are many people in my life through the years that have influenced my life tremendously.  The following five people are the ones that I feel has influenced me the most and are still to this day:
My father, Bobby Brooks, has always been one of the greatest influences in my life.  Throughout my childhood, he was always a great example of what a Christian should be.  He always took time out of his day to talk to me and ask me how I was and he always made sure that I knew that he loved me.
My mother, Regina Brooks, has always been a nurturer for me.  She has always showed me what a Godly woman should be.  She always made sure that I was taken care, met all of my needs, and loved me.  When I was a young child, she would always help me on my homework, talk to me about my problems and show how to solve them.
My sister, Andrea Pankey, has always been there for me.  She is older than me, and has always been a great listener.  As a little child, she always stood up for me, and always took care of me.  On multiple occasions, she made sure I knew that she loved me. 
My grandpa, Floyd Hudgens, has always been the wise person I look to.  He always seemed to have a happy outlook on life, which then made me have one as well.  I could always go to him with a problem and he would help me and guide me. 
My grandma, Pauline Hudgens, has been exactly what a grandmother should be.  She spoiled me, loved me, and always made me feel special (even though she had five other grandchildren).  She made me feel important and valued.
All five of these wonderful people are still in my life today, and still making positive influences in my life.  They all are praying for me and guiding me as I get my master's in early childhood education.

  2. Rachel-

    Your Grandfather reminds me of my own. Always smiling, always happy no matter what life has thrown at him that day. This is such a hard attitude to have some days, and our Grandpa's should be commended. I'm glad you have recieved part of this trait. :)
