List 10 6 people who have influenced you and describe how.
(To get caught up on 30 Things and know what it is all about start here.)
My inspiration for this set of posts comes from a great blog called Hopes & Dreams, you should really check her out.
I have had a really hard time with this one. I had no idea where to start or even to describe how someone has influenced me. I guess I will start simply, Mom & Dad
Sandy Degner (my mother)
I am really grateful every day that I have a solid sense of humor, and that I got from my mother. She is an amazing fantastic woman who has given up so much of her own personal life to give us kids pretty much anything we desired. She worked hard and gave us a great warm wonderful home, full of love and family. I know that at times her and I did not get along the best (yeah for being a teenager) but now a day I talk to her all the time and I don’t know what I would do with out her guidance and support.John Degner (my daddy)
Although cold at time and not nearly as open and loving as mom there has never been any doubt in my mind that my father loves me, he just doesn’t really know how to show it. What I learned from my dad is unwavering work ethic. Sometimes I wish I didn’t have quite so much of it because I really HATE picking up slack when others don’t do their jobs.My Aunt Cyndie & Uncle Craig
They are my example of marriage. What it should be like, how it should flow. I know that it is not always easy, I can see that but they always find a way together. Don’t get me wrong I have seen them fight, and be angry and even think about parting ways but it never goes that far. They always remember why they got married in the first place and come to a compromise that is the basis of ever healthy relationship.Jean Beck
My Grandmother on my moms side of the family. She was always a wiling ear for my cries about how much my mom sucked and played a wonderful devils advocate to help me see another point of view. It may not have always been mine, or my mom’s even for that matter but she is wonderful and getting you to think outside the box. She is also the woman who inspired me to do art as she and her sisters and wonderful artists and I always wanted to paint as good as grandma (and no I can’t not at all. LOL)Joanne Jones
Now my mom would be angry with me for thinking this (I am sorry mom) but as much as she is thorn in your side she still introduced me to some things that helped shape me into me. 1. Horses, she taught me everything I know about them, from maintenance, to grooming, to health care to ridding. 2. Church she brought me to church with her and her family and I have been going ever since.Cheri Wilson
My high school track & cheerleading coach. He taught me that I can be great at things that I despise doing and sometimes doing those things are for the betterment of the whole group even if I hate doing it. (i.e. 400 meter dash)Past Relationships
have taught me that you grow with every heartbreak and become stronger. Sometimes by building walls that are hard to get over/around and sometimes by realizing that evening thought you think you may love that person being with them does not help you be the best possible you and that is what love and being with someone should do for you. It should make you want to be a better person with that person. It has also taught me that forgiveness can be given even when at the moment of heartbreak you don’t think it will ever be possible and finally its taught me that wanting that “I told you so moment” can be a great motivator (wink wink)Well I tried to get 10 and I am sure I could most likely come up with more but if I have to force it its not really that huge of an influence is it …. No I didn't think so either. Well sorry to have it cut short but that’s all I got this round.
