One who has changed

Describe a family member.

Best family member has always been the strong one the one everyone goes to for almost everything, the one everyone depends on talks to lanes on is the defender the one everyone looks too for guidance and mental stability the one everyone fears but I also trust and also runs away from this family member always has a heart of gold but also has The ability to touch you in a way that will make you think about life in a whole new way and no matter what they do you still want to be around them even when you’re angry or mad at them for a while you overlook that anger because you love them so much this family member dresses beautifully hair is always done always has the right thing to say never looks vulnerable even though you know they’re human you don’t see that part of them this family member is a role model and also I’ll go get her someone to be proud of someone to look up to a best friend and can also be a frienime too but at the end of the day she is beautiful on the inside and the outside over the years she has become a beautiful person a heartfelt golden dynamic woman that I would not change the world for and I am proud that she is a part of my family. I am proud to call her family.

My mom is the first person that comes to mind.

When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?

This is my mom my Beautiful success story she has the most beautiful smile

Since I was a little girl I have always looked at my mom as a success story to me because I have always seen her persevere through everything. I watched her make enormous life decisions get disappointing it and still land on her feet even after my dad passed she went to work she was able to get new cars keep up the house that we were living in maintain her sanity and travel with us to different places in the country in order to keep us involved with family and friends she even moved us across country because of the possibility of building a brand new life even though that ended up being somewhat of a pipe dream that was not reality she still landed on her feet again she has always been a devoted church member a consistent employee for whatever business even a human dictionary a real inspiration to be around. Able to pick up new material fast always showing that she is an asset to whatever she is doing not to mention her phenomenal ability to play piano that I for one have picked up a bit here and there. She has always looked super human to me you never realize someone is getting older until you’ve been away from them for a while. She is still as beautiful as ever though she is still able to live on her own do things on her own maintain her ability to think Moe speak and talk to me often she is simply awesome. Not bad for someone in their 70s she’s beautiful super smart and still capable of being helpful and cherished as I do as much as possible she is the greatest success story that I can think of. She’s giving strong loving considerate always compassionate always had a great work ethic just a all-around great person so she would be the one who I would say it’s not just my hero but is my favorite one to say is my success story. My mom Mary F,T, Green

I was 18 years old and:

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?

I was always a homebody and my mom always told us to be in the house by dark when we were little. One thing you never wanted to hear is her calling your name ever or you were in big trouble. When we got older she got more lenient and we could stay out a little later like 9 or 9:30 unless we were going to church or something then there was no time limit cause church was like a marathon. This one Wednesday night I had just turned 18 in September I was feeling so big and grownup like I could do anything I wanted to I had met this man who was pursuing me really hard I invited him to church and he came my naïve behind thinking he is really into me this lying 35 claiming he is 22 then 28 years old man had my 17 then 18 years old nose wide open. I got out of church and me being all grown now was going to walk home with him at night it was a great walk even if it cast me my senior activities due to the child that came from me being so damn grown. You live and you learn.

Becoming a social activist for the well-being of small children

What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.

I would start a nonprofit for the well-being of small children five and under to teach them how to learn adapt and grow in an environment that is not geared toward helping them succeed in life but is more geared toward showing them how to grow up too fast and navigate the world as adults before they are even able to speak I would create programs that would help them utilize their small developing adventurous imaginations so that they are able to still be children but also be the great minds of the future without having a bunch of responsibility and a bunch of unnecessary attitude around them they would have different approaches to education and learning as well as different approaches to growth and development with a myriad of developmental bases of learning where it’s fun but also Educational with different kinds of motivational people in their environment who also have a heart for children and I would advocate for them on every level whether it’s food games education athletics or just as simple as communication between children and parents activism is more than just marching and talking it is also real life action and that is what I would do if I knew I would not fail.

To become a owner by 55

What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself?

I have always wanted to own a pregnant teens group home for a long time so I set up a goal to achieve this by the age of 55. It has become a bit daunting because I don’t know the steps by which to take in order to accomplish it I know that I need to own a building and I need support plus staff, but trying to figure out what steps to take and the people to talk to to accomplish. This is difficult to understand and how to go about getting my foot in the door to get the houses in order to achieve this feet so I have constantly stopped before really getting started. This has been a passion of mine, since I was a teenager when I went from school to school talking about being a pregnant teen myself, or I want to own a total of three, and get into the business part of it to accomplish my goal of becoming someone to help society, and girls and learn that they can still make it even after they have children early.

The strength in numbers

What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in?

The aspects of my cultural heritage that I am most proud of is how we come together when something needs to be done, and we put our strength in our numbers and accomplish the goal that we are seeking out to accomplish. How we manage to put our differences aside and really focus on, the goal at hand to make whatever is the issue at hand to go away even if we all go our separate ways after that, we will stand together on that issue to make it a top priority to get it accomplished no matter how long it takes no matter how much it may Keep us from doing something else at that moment it is the most important thing that needs to be accomplished, and we will do any and everything to accomplish it until it is done for example, in Alabama when the man was being attacked everyone stopped what they were doing at that moment to go and Protect him. It didn’t matter what was happening around him or them. They stopped another example when they made Rosa parks get off the bus and was disrespectful to her. We stopped riding the bus and it took over a year, but we persisted to make it happen, so that they would give us equal rights to ride the bus freely and fairly another example is when we want it to be able to vote we stopped, allowing them to treat us any other kind of way, and we’ve been together to accomplish, making it a nationwide goal to not work with anything they have going on to make it happen every time when it’s something that we all want we will stand together to make it happen that is something that I love about my culture. We still are that way just in a different way now, and I appreciate that inner strength that we have to do that in order to accomplish the goal of having us matter things like that or what keeps us moving forward And all of us working together we still have a long way to go, but I do appreciate that about my culture, even though it takes an immense strength and something major to happen for us to do that the fact that we will do it I love it about us And I appreciate my culture for it

Corelle, precious stone and light

What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance?

Yes, it does have special significance. My mother gave me my middle name. My father gave me my first name and last name, but my mom bought out my middle name. She saw me as precious and meaningful, and I also gave significance to who I was as my. Name began with a L and my middle name began with a C so the significance of it was that I was the last child C so when my mom did that she made sure that I was someone to be precious and The end of the road, I’ve always loved my name, but that is the story behind it.
