Week 3

This is my older sister. We are several years apart from each other but are very close. Growing up she was always bossy to me and did all the things older sisters do but when times got hard she was always there to take care of me and protect me. Our parents divorced when I was a teenager and by that time she was married living in another state but I always new she was there for me. She taught me how to be strong and stand up for myself. She always reassured me that everything would be okay and no matter what happen in life I always had her. My sister talked to me about life and boys. She taught me to always respect my self and to always demand respect from a man. No matter how far apart we are from each other or how  busy we get I know I can always count on my sister.

My mom. So much I can say about this wonderful woman. She has always been my number one supporter. I am who I am today because of her. My mom has taught me so much and has been a great example. My mom has faced so many struggles in her life from divorce, to cancer and never has she even showed a sign of giving up. She has taught me to be strong, fight for what I want and never to give up. My mom has taught me how to be forgiving, loving and supportive.

This is a family friend/aunt. Her brother is married to my sister but I have known her since I was five. Her name is Avelia and she lived across the street from us growing up. I played with her older daughter growing up and babysat her younger daughter. Avelia has been caring and helpful to me in so many ways. Many times I had to stay at her home because of my parents fighting. She never judged us just always open her home to me like I was her own. She always taught me many life lessons. One important one was about God. She always took me to church with her and taught me about God. This lady is my moms best friend as well and she is another person I know in my heart will always be there for me no matter what happens or where I am.
