I SO LOVE HER!!!!!

This is my younger cousin Rogerlynn......<3

My Dad, Step-Mom, and Me

This picture was taken the day after their wedding.

My Lovely Mother Florence Richardson

This picture was taken a couple of months before she died.

PERSONAL CHILDHOOD WEB

Florence Richardson

This lady holds a very special place in my heart. She is my mother. My mom taught me how to be a woman and a friend to those around me. My mother has always been there through the thick or thin. My mother never hesitated to put me, my brothers, and my friends in our right state of mind. As a child all the way through my adult life, she made me feel like I was her special child, she made everyone feel special, even strangers. I knew she cared about me because she always told me she loved me. My mother is no longer here, but her memory is still inside of me. I will never forget the spankings, the lectures, the hugs, and the compassion for others. My mother has taught me how to be the perfect mother, wife and friend.

Aldrow Richardson

This very strong and powerful man is my father. He is a Federal officer, so being the only girl, you can imagine what I had to go through.  LOL This man is such a teddy bear, on the exterior he looks all mean and tuff, but on the inside he is soft as cotton. My father really made me feel like I was the only princess in the world, he still does. He nurterd me very well, he would never let anything happen to me. Still till this day, my father feels I am 6 years old, he says he wants to maintain the sweet little innocent girl. I have never let my father down, and I work very hard and strive to be the best, so I will never let him down.

Gwen Richardson

Mrs. Gwen is my step-mother. She has only been in my life for the last three years. But if you was to come around us, you would think I have known her for my entire life. Mrs. Gwen has always showed how much she cares for me, from the first time I met her, she always smiles and talks to me about what I am feeling on daily basis. I talk to Mrs. Gwen more then I talk to my Dad. She encourages me to be the best, as she says, I am her only daughter and she is here from my needs, and I truly appreciate her for that. I have a genuine love for her, and she keeps me motivated.

Rogerlynn Hess

Rogerlynn is my first cousin on my moms side. We are four months apart, but I am the oldest. Growing up, Rogerlynn spent the majority time at our house, she was my best friend. Until one day, my family had to move, I thought I would never see her again. As years passed, I can remember the fun times we had, the hugs the tears and motivational speeches. When I was 24, my mother died. I went to the funeral, and I ran into Rogerlynn. We had been apart for 15 years. But once we reconnected, it is like we never part. From that day, we never lost contact. Rogerlynn tells me on several occasions how she looks up to me, and how very proud of me she was. In the present day, if I am feeling a bit discouraged, Rogerlynn is there to offer her moral support.

Dr. Barefield

Dr. Barefield was my college professor at Clark Atlanta University. I had majority of my practicum classes with her. The first day I stepped in her class, she gave out hugs. She expressed you may never know what a person is going through, but if you give out hugs, it will make anyone feel special. I use this technique with my students. I hugged them at the begging of class and at the end of the school day. Dr. Barefield offered her wisdom about teaching and I have gained many helpful ideas for my classroom. Dr. Barefield has retired from Clark, but she is still available for advice or just to have a talk. I call her from time to time to check on her and I value our time we spend with each other.

Gavin's Dragonfly

I have a student named Gavin, he tends to stay to his self. Gavin is really creative and he loves to make things in art. I have uploaded his draogonfly. Gavin took three popsicle sticks two beans and a piece of string to make his dragonfly.
I love his creativity!!!!!

Children's Literature

I feel that it is important for parents and teachers to read to children as early as possible. when I talk to my friends who have children, many of then do not realize that when a child first reads a book, is when they are telling stories through the pictures. I tend to encourage my parents to read a story to their child daily, and then let their child read the story back to them. My favorite all time book is the Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss. The reason why this book is my favorite is because this is the first book I was able to read all by myself....
Great childhood memories!!!!!!

This is one step closer to my dream job of having my own HEAD START SCHOOL!!!!!! I love children and being a change agent for the future is what keeps me motivated. No obstacle is too big for my students. Many of them just need that extra push, I am here for them.
