Mom- I have always looked up to my mom for many reasons. She is a strong, Christian woman that I admire. My mom has been an example of what a mother, daughter, and wife should be. She has encouraged me in everything that I do. There were plenty of times that my mom most likely didn't think I should do something but encouraged me anyways. My face has faced may trials including losing a husband, a son, and winning the fight against cancer. Yet, she still perseveres. As much as you say you don't want to be like your mom or say things like your mom if usually ends up happening. For that I am grateful!
Dad- My dad passed away when I was 18. Growing up I was always a daddy's girl. My dad got me anything I wanted. His love for me showed in everything he did. He was a strong example of a loving father and husband. Any heart break or physical hurt I experienced he could make it better with his kind words and love.
Mrs. Ables- Mrs. Ables was my 1st grade teacher. She is still a teacher which says a lot says a lot about her. Her passion and love for young children is what influenced me to become a teacher.
Sarah, your 1st grade teacher mush have been amazing. She had such an impact on your life, leading you to become an educator. This is someone who you knew as a 6-year-old! Yet you still remember her passion and love for young children. Your comments about your teacher helped me to fully understand the importance of our interactions with the children in our classroom. Mrs. Ables was part of the

Sarah, your mother sounds like a wonderful woman. I can remember saying to myself that I wasn't going to be anything like my parents. Boy, was I wrong. I am very much like my mother and proud of it. I hope that when I have children that I will be the type of mother to them that she is to me.
