Me, surrounded by my support TEAM!!

Mom: Edna Peoples

My mom provided stability in my life.  She taught me strength and  courage.   Most of all she taught me family values and integrity.   She made sure I was raised in a Christian home.  My mom was my ROCK!  She became my best friend as I got older.  Due to  my mom's nurturing and guidance, I am able to have a close relationship with my daughter.   My mom is the the first on my post, because she was the first to lay the foundation for my future.  Everyone else continues to build upon what she had already started.

Sister: Doris Kelly

My sister was always there for me.  She combed my hair and prepared my dinner.  She taught me how to wash clothes and make my bed.  My sister taught me life skills that I was able to incorporate in my household when I started my family.  My sister also helped provide me with family traditions that I was able to pass on to my daughter so that she will be able to pass them on to my grandchildren one day.

 Aunt: Beulah

I remember my Aunt used to always cook a BIG family dinner on Sundays  and invite us over for dinner; which also gave us the opportunity to play with  our cousins.   Spending time with my cousins helped enhance my social development. Up to this day, I still have a close relationship with my cousins.   



 Sister: Lisa Lewis

My sister and I played together all the time.  We were the last two at home so we spent a lot of time  in church with our mother.  We were ushers in our church as well as members of the Youth Choir.  The church environment made me feel important like I was a part of something big.  My sister is younger than I am so i felt the need to nurture her.  Sometimes she and I both got into trouble together, but I was the one that was discipline because I was the oldest. )):

Brother: Carl Peoples
My brother was like my protector.   He was always there whether I was right or wrong.  He helped me with my school work and taught me how to play Hop Scotch and Red Rover.  He made me feel as if I could accomplish anything I set my mind to.  He was the first in my family to go to college and receive a M.A. degree.  His accomplishments motivated me to go back to school to further my education.
