My favorite children's book is "Are You My Mother" by Dr. Seuss

I love this book because my son who is now eight years old, would always pick this story as his bed time story. I remember reading this book over and over again every night. The story is about a baby bird who hatches to find that his mother is missing. He goes up to all different kinds of animals asking them all "are you my mother"? In the end, the baby bird never loose hope that he would find his mother and eventually he found her. The book continues to stay funny each time I read it and it is still his favorite story. I guess it's mines also.

You seem to have had a large support system. I think one of the keys in your web was the spiritual piece. How have you incorporated your experience with support into the lives of the children and families you work with? I know I may have asked this question of someone else, but it is a question that can have a variety of interesting and insightful answers. Thank you for sharing!; September 21, 2010 at 7:48 PM

Personal Childhood Web

My Top 5 Influential People:

Paulette White (Mom):

My mother has been the rock of my family. My mother showed me how to be strong no matter what. It is because of my mother's passion for teaching children that I am in this field. My mother's favorite quote is "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me". I always think back to that verse when I feel like I'm overwhelmed.

Arthur White (Step-Dad):

My stepdad came into my life at the age of 15. Since then, he has been a wonderful father figure for me. My biological father passed away when I was 8 years old. He has been wonderful to me throughout my trying teenage years. I can always count on him to be there for me.

Inez Jones (Grandmother):

My granny is the best. My grandmother is a true woman of God. I remember my granny watching me before and after school. When ever I didn't feel good, my grandmother would first pray for me, then make up old remedies to help me get better. She is a shining star and reflection of God's blessings. My granny is 90 years old and still caring for our family.

Jakki Goins (sister-in-law):

My sister in law helped to shape me as well. She gives great advice. Our relationship has always been separate from her marriage to my brother. I think that's what I love about her. She always keeps it real.

The Late Bishop James R. Jones (pastor):

My pastor was a very strong man. He was a true man of God. He would always talk to the young boys and girls in our church. My pastor had a passion for children. He would take the children in our church on trips all around the world. His passion was so great for children that he opened a christian school. In the school, some people contributed whatever funds they could. For the most part, many of the parents couldn't afford to pay so our pastor kept the school running with his own earnings. He was a true example of what a man of God should be and he is missed daily. I will always love him!!
