Personal Childhood Web

The individuals that have inspired me the most have been my parents.  My mother, Betsy and father, Lenzey raised me in a household with two older siblings’ one brother and one sister.  My mother was a caring Nurses’ Aide and motivated me to aim for the sky. I consider myself blessed that my mother continues to bestow her words of wisdom upon me everyday and hope I am as gracious with others as she is.

 My father, Lenzey Sr. was a strict disciplinarian and Police Officer.  I could always count on my father because he motivated me to accomplish whatever I aim for.  It has been over decade since my father died, but I still follow the values he taught me. 

My son, Jeremy, makes me want to strive to be the best parent I can each day.   Jeremy is the primary reason I decided to further my education.  He gives me advice and always tells me “momma, you can do it!”

My eldest sister, Eddice is there for me whenever I need financial and personal advice.  She always bought me whatever I wanted, when I was younger; I like to think that she greatly influence my shopping habit.  

My brother, Lenzey Jr. and I share a special, tighter bond and I tend to think of him as my very own protector, who pops up when needed.  He is my personal 6’4” guardian angel. 

My entire family has always encouraged me to be the best in any goals I set for myself.  They are my inspiration, my motivation, my sounding board, my reason for being who I am today; they are my family.

  1. Its great how both of our moms have nursing careers and they provide the love, care and support that keep us motivated. My dad was in the USArmy so he also had the strict disciplinary role. It makes me wonder if thier career choices is what guided the behavior they used to raise us. Its great that you continue to use the values your dad instilled in you. Our children are always our greatest motivators in life. I have a cousin that can not have children and at times she speaks of how different her life would have been if she could. She always speaks positive about parenting and ways childrenn shape our lives. I wish you and your family the best.
