Personal Childhood Web
MOTHER
The relationship i have with my mother has always been nurturing and caring. My mother supported me by always offering guidance. My mother made me feel special by always putting my needs ahead of her own. I was made to feel special by my mother through our one on one time spent together.
FATHER
My father made me feel special by making sacrifices for the betterment of my future. My father instilled in me the value of hard work and honesty.
GRANDMOTHER
My Grandmother influenced me by showing me that no matter how far away you are, people still cared for me growing up. She also nurtured and cared for my success by always encouraging me.
AUNT
I always remember the kind words of encouragement from my aunt, who always attended my special events growing up. I was always made to feel special by her attendance and guidance.

AUNT
One of my aunts influenced me by showing me the possibilities of success for women in life and also in business. I was always made to feel special by the time that i spent with her growing up, and the special places she would take me too.
Some of the support that I received from my grandmother growing up was packages and letters from her encouraging and acknowledging my success.
I feel that the time the important people in my life offered me, nurtured my spirit and sense of self, which inspired me to reach for success in my life.
I feel all the individual’s in my personal web continue to support and encourage my abilities and choices in my life, continuing to offer support and guidance when I face challenges and success.
I like how you clearly show that your micro/meso systems supported you in their own unique ways but toward one goal.
ReplyDeleteI wish i spent more time with my grandmother because she has alot of wisdom to share. I also grew up in a family where i was taught that women need to be independent. My mother is a great example, she being the first of 11 children had to show her siblings that everything as possible whether you were a girl or boy(esp for being a girl in a generation that didnt value girl child education). My grandfather was a carpenter and thats how he raised and sent his children to school. He is my example of hardwork and persistence.
Who else would you include in "ecological" system apart from family?
Thankyou for sharing.
I love that you drew a diagram, how creative!
ReplyDeleteHi Lindsey. Your family sounds a lot like mine. I beleive that my father was the most influencial person in my life, and he still is. I remember all the lessons he has taught me. While as a child I didn't want to hear all the many lectures, I often hear myslef giving the same lectures to my oldest son. That makes me laugh.... Even though I am An adult now and married with children, I still call him for all kinds of advice. :)
ReplyDeleteLindsey,
ReplyDeleteI love your family. I love the encouragement and the influence your family has planted in your life. Its amazing that once it is planted, the lessons never seem to fade away.
