The people who nurtured me and cared about me when I was a child were:
My Mother - Always wanted me to strive to be the be I could be.
My Father - Encouraged me to do activities outside my comfort zone.
My Sister - My best friend in the world. She was my sounding board and the biggest support in my life.
Jane Johnson - My Youth Minister - Helped me to find my way in life during critical periods in my life.
Sheryl Van Pelt - My English teacher - Made me feel excited about learning.
These influences continue in my life today. My parents continue to be proud of my professional accomplishments.
My sister is one of my biggest sources of support and comfort in my life.
I often think back on the lessons Jane taught me growing up. Be empathetic, be kind, treat others as you would want to be treated.
My lifelong love of learning continues today because of Sheryl Van Pelt, and I am very grateful to her.
Sounds like you had a great network of people who supported you in different ways. I think it's great that you are close with your sister. I grew up with two brothers and always wished I could have a sister. There are just things that sisters can share that brothers and sisters don't. I always wanted to have that bond. You are lucky.
