The person who inspires me is my mother. She
is a beautiful lady who is just amazing in
many ways. She inspires me because no
matter how hard her struggle, she always
keeps on going. She is also always there to
keep me on the right path, I am so grateful to
be blessed with such a mother. I love her.

My parents inspire me each and every
day. Without them by my side I would
not be where I am today. My parents
are always on my side and look out
for my best interest. I love you!

My daughter LaQuisha Ezell (right)
inspires me. She encouraged me to return to
college to earn my Associates Degree and I
did and graduated at the age of 54. It is
never, too late. I could never have made that
first step without her support. I went to
WCC3 when she was 3 years old and then
landed a good job and never went back to
college, until now. My daughter is now, 34
years old and she graduated in 2011 from
Oakland Community College
