These are the people who had the biggest impact in my life.

Grandma:  Her name is Bertha Frost. She is 83 years old. She lives in Memphis, Tennessee. She is a very kind, loving, caring, and lovable person. My grandmother raised me most of my life. The memories I cherish the most are the talks we used to have at the kitchen table. I could talk to my grandmother about everything and she wasn't judgmental or inconsiderate about my feelings. My grandmother was a supportive woman to all her children and grandchildren. She cooked a full dinner every night and everyone in the house had to sit at the dinner table. She is my heart. I graduated high school and college due to her support in succeeding to my highest degree.

Grandfather: His name is Willie Frost Sr. My grandfather passed away in December 2011. He was 81 years old. He was a man that believed in being right and doing the right thing regardless of circumstances. He would always preach to me about "we may all fall short, but at the end of the day make sure you do the right thing" all the time. My father was a religious man just like my grandmother. They went to church faithfully every Sunday unless they were ill. My grandfather is my biggest influence when it comes to attending church. He always encouraged me to attend church and as an adult I try to attend church services every Sunday. My  grandfather was a mechanic and he had a shop in his backyard. He taught me basic car maintenance skills and now I can change a battery in car, change fuses, and do small things to keep up the maintenance on a car thanks to him.

Aunt BJ: She was a huge disciplinarian and helped my grandparents raise me. She lived on and off with my grandparents a lot so she was always home. With having an adult home all the time, it prevented me from getting into all kinds of trouble. She was very strict, but she did attend most of my school activities, she shopped for me, and she taught me life skills.

Cousin Nikki: She is Aunt BJ's daughter and she was like a big sister to me. She is 13 years older than me and she helped my aunt take care of me and teach me about life. She also attended my school activities, shopped for me, and I went to her for advice when I felt like I couldn't talk to my grandparents or my aunt about school, boys, and etc. Also, she was the only cousin that attended college in my family so she inspired me to attend college.

Bestfriend Porsha:  Porsha is my childhood friend since kindergarden. She was always a person I could go and talk to about my problems and life in general. We were very close growing up. We went to the same elementary, middle, and high school. We went to the movies, skating rink, mall, and other places as kids. She is a caring, supportive, and funny person. I love her alot. Even though we are 3 hours away now, we still call each other and talk about everything like we used to do when we were kids.
