How Dianne Changed My Life

From working several jobs at a time to make sure I had everything I needed, she became the reason why I was raised the way I raised. The lesson that “ I should treat everyone like the most important person in the world because I will never know when I might need them” was engraved in my head was owned by my mother. Sometimes she would tell me that she had holes in her socks and I knew it was due to most of her money going towards my private school tuition in order for me to be able to have the best education I could get. My mother is my background, my identity, interest, and talent. She is truly the one that has set me up for success, regardless of how fatigued or overworked she is. She is the person who truly defines who I am and who I have become to this

Katherine Johnson has always been a bright woman. She was always the smartest in her classes. By the age of 10 she completed the eighth grade. At the age of 13, she attended high school 120 miles away from their home town. This was the closest public school for African Americans. At 15 years old, she attended college at West Virginia State College. There, she took every math course that was available to her. At 18, she graduated with degrees in mathematics and French.

She is intelligent, hardworking, witty, charismatic, dedicated, loyal, and is an excellent speaker, reader, and writer. As a student, she read two or three grade levels above her grade level and was well read—reading most of the classics at a young age. I was quite impressed, but not surprised when she graduated at the top 10 percent of her high school class and graduated from The University of Texas in

There have been a vast number of lives that have touched mine. Many different people have shared a piece of their soul in my formation. However, it is my mother who is the most important and most influential person in my life. My mother raised me by herself since the day I was born. My father was abusive and she left to make a better life for the both of us. She has worked as many as four jobs at one time. My mother wants to make sure my brothers and I have a better life than she did. It hasn’t always been easy for her, taking care of us on her own, trying to pay bills and making sure we had everything we needed. My mom has always had us involved in sports at a very young age. We always were doing something or involved in something

Feminism has a long history here in the U.S. Feminism is what women have fought for and continue to fight for; equal opportunities for both men and women, that is what the goal of feminism is. It also fights to change the idea that all women must be homemakers, while most feminists do not find any fault in a woman who chooses this. They fight so that if a woman chooses work and a life different from the typical women’s role they will not be judged. As I was reading Diane Di Prima Recollections of My Life as a Women, I was mostly astonished at her ability to go against everything a woman was supposed to be in that era. She went against the norms and chose to be something that wasn’t the typical woman and she did a great job at it. She was a woman ahead of her time and she seemed fearless to me, at least she did in her writing.

Hi Oprah with all of the success you've had I realized some people would want an audience with you to ask for a list of opportunities. However, over the years I have wanted to just say "Thank You". Let me share a little bit of my story I wanted to be a journalist an preacher since I was a little girl.When I was in high school, I did my research on journalism schools and found one in Maryland. However "comma" My mother was not having it and my hopes were dashed. So I decided on the next family tradition of nursing following my Father in the field. But the observer and interpreter of life that it takes to be a good writer stayed alive within me. Forward fast a lifetime, I am doing post grad work on a PhD in Theology and teaching at a Bible College.

My mother, the blinding light in any darkness, is my connection in the hard but yet easy life I live.
