As instructed in the assignment, I created a "space" for my web, but could not figure out how to allow comments, so I also created a new blog post and have attached a picture of my web. My childhood was filled with an extended supportive family, including two sets of parents and five siblings. In addition, we had strong ties with our church, community, and school activities. My parents as a whole wanted their children to become well-rounded individuals, who were successful and active participants in their community. Family, religion, environmental awareness, and humanity, were the foundation of our relationships. Because I had so many influential people in my childhood, I chose just three for my Personal Childhood Web, my mother, my stepfather, and my grandfather. I am eternally grateful for the support and love I received, and contribute my adulthood success to their positive influence on my life.
I find it wonderful that you had so many people that loved you unconditionally in your life. I think you make a good point when you write that all this love made you a more emphatetic person. I think it is true that love makes a bigger change in our life than anything that can be bought. I also like that you have included a quote because it matches and emphasizes the point you make about love.
ReplyDeleteSondi, I grew up with 2 sets of grandparents, 1 sibling and tons of extended family that supported me as well. I love how you set your page up with the bubbles which made it very easy to read. Great post! Email the web circles I would like to set one up for my kids to have so that they will know more about their family. I look forward to reading more of your posts.
ReplyDeleteSondi,
ReplyDeleteIt is great ot have so many people in your life that surrounded you with care and nuturing. I had a very small family growing up just my mom, sister and I. My family did increase when I got married my husband is from a family of seven. Once married I had five sisters and two brothers.
Sondi,
ReplyDeleteIt was great to see that you had a wonderful, supportive stepfather. I have been in homes where the stepfather wasn't supportive of the child that wasn't his. It always frustrates me when I see that, it shouldn't matter whose child it is. Every child deserves to be loved and shown that they do matter.
