Growing up, my parents never took me to daycare instead they let my grandparents take care of me, on one hand, I would get spanked if I did something wrong and on the other, my Grandma would give me M&M’s from my grandfather’s secret candy stash, and being raised with two different families made me realize the pros and cons of each. Being with two different families showed me different ways to care for a child, and how the method is chosen can affect the child in the future. Although I had loving grandparents who gave sweets every day, I also had stern ones who helped show me how to survive the daily world. My parents rarely ever questioned the childcare being given to me, and this promoted both sets of grandparents
Annie Jean Easley was born April 23, 1933 to Mary Melvina Hoover and Samuel Bird Easley, in Birmingham Alabama. She was raised, along with her older brother, by a single mom.

In a family there are many different roles; there's the role of the mother, the father, the child, the grandparents, then there’s the brothers and sisters. Every single one of those roles has different responsibilities. The father, according to most of society, is supposed to be the breadwinner for the family. However, nowadays the mother is actually quite capable of being the breadwinner just as much of as the father. As they work to show their children what it is to be an adult they are teaching them as well on how to be an active member of society. As a child we watch our parents and we learn from them. We learn how to cook, how to clean, how to raise children, how to do right from wrong, how to work, how to do things we don't want to, how to be happy, how to have fun, and many more things.

Annie Mae Lytle. She was my biggest cheerleader. My grandmother sacrificed so much for me and my family. She was born and raised in South Carolina. Raised by her aunts because her mother died at a young age. She never graduated from the third grade. Yet she's managed to travel the world, raising 6 kids and 10 grand kids and many great-grand children. Not to mention she could make the best banana pudding. I've known my sweet granny all my life. She was a nurturing soul. With words of wisdom. She loves to tell us the scripture Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” She swore by this scripture. She felt as if you just believe you could overcome any adversity in life. As, she did. She grew up at in what most people
Born to a loving young couple, looking up at the doctor not knowing how the world works. Just coming out of the womb and being laid onto her mother 's arms, so harmless, so unknowing, so curious. That is Bailey Marie Storey. Many others have been in the exact same position but, there 's a 99.99 percent chance you will never walk the same footsteps as her. The life that each and every person lives is different. Some can end quickly, whiles others can change in an instant. Moments that are spontaneous, not planned, and never taken for granted are the life changing memories that you can never get back. Those moments are called life.
Think of how much one person can have an affect on your life. Think about how your life would be without them. How different your daily routine would be or how different others lives would be around you. I remember how we used to hang out all the time and talk forever. think that being a hero insists on someone who doesn’t try to do the I the things of a hero to be recognized. But someone who just does it out of their own kindness. My Michigan hero is my sister Nicole because she helps others, she cares a lot about her family, and she works hard.
Throughout my life time I have been inspired by many great people but the one who stands out the most is Marian Wright Edelman. Marian, born June 6,1939, has been an advocate for disadvantaged American for her entire professional life. She is the president and founder of Children 's Defense Funds, and an activist for the rights of children. I first read about Mrs. Edelman when I came across an inspirational quote from her, "You really can change the world, if you really care enough" This quote spoke to me in many ways. Out of curiosity, I continued to do more research on her and what I learned were things that changed my life for the better. I read a story about her father, Arthur Wright, who only wished two things. He wanted his children to

When I help a person, it puts the biggest smile on my face and I want to have the opportunity to do that every day.
Think of someone really inspirational, someone who doesn’t let you down and always finds a way to make you feel better no matter how bad the situation. What if that person had to work through taking care of three kids alone? What if that person had someone they care about not there to support them? What if even after all of that they could still find the positive side and work through it? That person is my grandma Sheila Thompson, who even though went through many hardships, found a way to stay positive, and that is what inspires me.

I sat there nervously wondering why any college would ever accept me, frozen with panic unable to continue any of my applications until I heard my sister’s voice ring in my head telling me how gifted I am and motivating me to continue because I’ll never flourish if I never try. In those moments of self-contemplation, I realized that my sister was the most influential person in my life. She has been with me through thick and thin and I doubt I would have gotten this far in life without her.
Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household and a portion to her maidens.
Throughout my life, I have learned how to be patient through many people and situations. Patience is an important part of growing up and is still difficult for me. Although it is hard to remain patient with others and myself, my grandmother, my siblings, and babysitting instilled patience in me.
White walls whispering with wild silence, quarantine. I’m 9 years old and hooked up to an IV board dripping drugs down into my system. I see my mom outside my room where she sits every day. She along with the doctors suit up to come inside. They come in like a wave to the beach, all at once leaving. Even though there are people in the room I feel extremely isolated. My mom sits and talks to me telling me that this will be over soon and that in the future this will be a funny memory. There is an odd distance that separates us, maybe it’s the suits worn to keep me safe or the amount of illness my foot has consumed. Even though there was is an obvious void created by the circumstances, a stronger bond is being formed.
