3 Important People (Blog 14)

The first person I would like to talk about is my mom. Let me tell you a little bit about her. She had me when she was 29 going on 30. My mom grew up in a tight family without much but all seemed to help each other out when they could. What makes her so special is she is always willing to put her family first even over herself. She anytime someone in the family needed a car ride, a few dollars for gas, or someone to take care of them when they were sick, my mom was always right there. She is one that gets along with everyone even if they don’t get along with each other. She is important to me because of how much she cares for her family.
The next person I would like to talk about is my dad. My dad was born and raised in Ohio/West Virginia. He joined the Seabees back in the late 70’s. In 1986 he had his forth child, me. My dad is one that doesn’t take much from anybody. He likes to tell people up front the way he feels about them and likes when people do the same. What makes him so important to me is the way he raised me when it comes to standing up for myself when the time calls for it. He also has taught me a lot about working on things, making stuff, and use common sense.
The last person I would like to talk about is a former teacher. His name is Mr. Hodge and he teaches a couple fire technology which I have taken. He is one of the most unusual teachers I have ever had. He will spend the first hour of class taking role and telling jokes. In each of his classes he just teaches what will be on his midterm and final and nothing else. Why this teacher is so important to me is Mr. Hodge is the reason I am furthering my education and going for my BS degree. I was planning on just getting my AS but with his encouragement, I am almost done with my BS degree. He is also for helping students with money by selling old books for them in following semesters. Thanks to him, I was able to sell two old books I never used.
