Personal Childhood Web

Coming from a large family and I was very outgoing young lady, it was hard to pick just five people.

The two people who are on my list is My lovely mother and father Carol and Lacy Stubbs.  They worked very hard to make sure I have what I needed.  They supported me in all my events ( track and field, basketball, softball, school clubs meeting, choir rehearsal and etc.)

My father was an alcoholic but he changed his life around.  After that last accident he saw the light.  He was in church every Sunday, sang in the Male Choir, a member of the Steward Board and cleaned up the church.  He was loved by everyone.  Even at his place of employment  they loved him dearly.  He was a man of his word and did not mind helping others.  He would encourage me to do my best and do not settle for less.

My mother is a fighter.  She not going to let anything stand in her way and she will speak her mind.  She was the one that push me the most.  I could not bring home nothing lower than a B.  She did not play when it came to school.  She was at all my Track event.  She was known as the Team mom. She would bring the team water and goodies for us to eat.  I believe she would have came to all my college track meets if my dad was not sick.  She was church lady too.  She made me do everything in church.  I love her for that because now I make sure my children are in the church.

I could go on and on and on about my parents.  We were the average family.  We laughed together, played cards together, worshiped together, and cried together.  There were good times and bad times.

  1. Thanks for sharing your story with us. It sounds like you had a great support system like in Bronfenbrenner's theory. I love the picture of the family laughing - even if it isn't yours - it's a great picture. There are times when my husband, son and I have nights where we play games and sit around laughing and talking...If someone was to be on the outside looking in they might think we are in need of medical attention because we laugh at anything on these nights. I love these memories! Thanks again for sharing.
