        Shirley June Jackson my biological grandmother and adopted mother, taught me how to be a strong independent woman. She was the "boss" in our family. My grandmother loved me and my siblings and treated us as her own. This helped me growing up due to my biological mother's absence in my life, my grandmother filled that void. I will always remember my Grandmother saying "whatever you want to be, be the best at it" This saying helped me in doubtful time when I have wanted to give up on my dreams.


All five of my siblings Jeana, Anita, Sherry, Barbara, and my twin brother Anthony. All of my siblings have shown me unconditional love. Being the youngest of my siblings they have always made sure I felt love and support growing up. Having such supportive siblings helped me be a better me by not feeling like I was missing out on something by not having my biological parents in my life.


James Jackson Jr my biological grandfather and my adoptive father has been the biggest and greatest man I know. My grandfather is an exceptional man, he was a gentle spirit and delayed that everyday in caring for me. He made me feel love and showed that my opinion matter, he loved me as his own. This helped me growing up because I did not have me biological father in my life and grandfather definitely filled that void.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Maya Angelou

I chose these three a picture of me now, the book Oh, The Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss, and a quote from Maya Angelou. Grow up I did not have much self-esteem, later on in life I began to aspect my flaws and all. The picture is of my today comfortable in my skin. I chose this Dr. Seuss book because it inspired me to believe and myself, the sky is the limit. I have always be a woman of few word, hearing Maya Angelou quote inspired me to continue allowing my action to speak louder than my words.

Hi my name is Alysia Parker, early on in life I began to have high hopes of becoming a teacher, it was not until later in life did I become intrigued in the minds of adolescents.  Watching children grow and learn became my obsession, children are just like sponges they soak in everything the adults in their lives are willing to teach them.
