Examining the factors of what a person is sorrounded by, contributes to the development during both early and middle stages of their life. As I encounter on a daily in my own life  raising 2 girls today, I am reminded of how important the impact of my actions and words contributes to their growth. Constantly I am able to help them develope productively in todays society through encouraging to want to do right and enjoy doing it, while remaining humbled and grateful.

Further more developmental psychology points out our growth mechanisisms such as people we sorround ourselves with, places we spend time at. Even activities we spend time doing can contribute to our growth. Music we hear or conversations we have can impact our growth.

Love with encouragement and motivation, inspires me as I learn and understand how to contribute to the productive growth of myself and those around me.

For me family means everything. They are the reasons I continue to stay on my journey to being a better person, through effective communication and motivation.

I am committed to encouraging not only my family but also those around me, helping to create the path for others to follow. Through my own understanding through education, I will continue on my journey to inspiration and motivation on a global scale.

For as long as I can remember I wanted to make a difference, this will be my opportunity to be more involved with the unity and empowerment of our country, nation or even my own community. The moment that I knew giving back was my passion, was working alongside a true mentor in my life, the Director of the New Choices program offered to myself. I had the opportunity to help both men and women find their passion, prepare for success and go after it. Through
