Personal Childhood Web

Hello everyone and welcome to my Personal Childhood Web! I would like to introduce to you some of the dynamic people that I have in my life that I call my support system.  They have been by my side since day one and I thank them for everything.




Lenitra Wadley is my Godmother.  This individual is like a ray of sunshine in my life.  She has influenced my life as a child in many ways.  She was the person that I could talk to about anything.  She would always be there to give me encouraging words and to put a smile on my face.  She made sure I did the right things and always taught me right from wrong.  She made me feel special by showing me love.  She has impacted my present life by teaching me things that I can share with my children.







 Lee Hodges is my brother.  By being the little sister Lee was always there to protect me.  As a child I was greatly influenced by hime becasue he taught me how to be a big girl such as standing up for myself, riding my bike, and playing ball.  He nurtured me by taking me under his wing and helping me in school.  He made me feel special by calling me his baby girl and always told me he loved me.  I am able to share with my daughters some of the stories about my brother and I and I.

Chandra Hodges is my big sister and my right hand girl.  She taught me how to be a lady and how to respect myself.  She made sure I was pretty at all times before we left the house.  She always told me to make sure I look my best at all times.  I teach my daughters the same thing and I make sure I tell them I love them everyday just as my sister told me.
 Lee Dukes is my father and my rock.  He has influenced my life by always being there and teaching me right from wrong.  He made sure that I knew that men are supposed to respect women.  He supported me in all my decisions, the good ones and the bad.  He made sure he gave me lots of hugs and kisses.  I make sure that my children respect their fathers and spend as much time with them as possible.
Mary Dukes is my mom and the person who has my heart.  This lady makes me smile and has always taught me to get a good education and to be the best mother I can be.  My mom has supported me and been my backbone.  She makes me feel special especially when she helps with her grandchildren.  She continues to influence my life by helping with my daughters and motivate me.
