Personal Childhood Web

Clementine Cooper- my mother loved and cared about me so much. My mother met my needs in every possible way. She supported me everything such as cheerleading, girl scout and she took the time out to help me with my homework. She made a great impact in my life.

Milton Boyd- my father gave me some good advice about life he stated "work smart not hard." I never knew what he meant until I got older. When I went to college I kept that in my head to make better decisions in life.

Bernice Cooper- my grandmother taught me a lot about life. She told me to never give up on life. She taught me how to cook. She's probably had the biggest influence on me to becoming the woman I am today.

Lakeita Baker- we've been best friends since kindergarten. We went to middle school, high school, and college together. She influenced me to make better decisions when we were younger. I was the one who wanted to do bad things, but she talked me out of it. Now, we're still best friend's; she gives me the best advice when it comes to making better decisions.

This was the best book I read when I was a child

Poor Dick and Sally. It's cold and wet and they're stuck in the house with nothing to do . . . until a giant cat in a hat shows up, transforming the dull day into a madcap adventure and almost wrecking the place in the process! Written by Dr. Seuss in 1957 in response to the concern that "pallid primers [with] abnormally courteous, unnaturally clean boys and girls' were leading to growing illiteracy among children, The Cat in the Hat (the first Random House Beginner Book) changed the way our children learn how to read.

Sharing a little something about me

I am 29 years old and I from Tchula, MS. I graduate from Jackson State University with a BSW. I never thought in a million years I would be going back to school to get my masters but I am ready to see what the future holds for me and my family. I am ready to gain the knowledge to be a good teacher and  become a director of a head start.
