My Biggest Inspiration

Does the inspiration have to be positive? Can it be them inspiring me to do better in life than them?

Quoting kthx.:" Does the inspiration have to be positive? Can it be them inspiring me to do better in life than them?"

that will work, ha I'm interested in the story now. (:

These two people are my biggest inspirations.


They are my paternal grandparents, affectionately known as Nana My and Papa. They are the linchpins of the family, they are such good, hard working people and they do so much for the younger members of our families.
I love them so much.

aww i don't have a picture of them =(
but they are my maternal grandparents

I would, but it's my kids and that probably doesn't count lol

Quoting RetroMama:" I would, but it's my kids and that probably doesn't count lol"

anything counts. if they inspire you, they count (: go ahead!

This woman, my mother, is my biggest inspiration. I chose her inmate picture.. it shows how badly her life choices have taken a toll on her physically.



She's currently in prison for 5 years. She's a heroin addict, alcoholic, thief, manipulator, and one of the most untrusthworthy people I've ever met in my life. Though she is my mother and no matter what she does, I will love her... she has shown me the person I never want to be. No matter what struggles I've come into with my life, I refuse to stoop to the level she did.

This is me and my grandpa. He inspires me everyday. He helped raise me for 5 years after my mom passed (I was 7 years old). My dad was in the military and could not care for me on his own since he had wacky hours. Granpda showed me the kind of person I want to be...aspire to be.

Willioam and Owen, by far my biggest inspiration.

This is the only picture I have with the both of them (Williams behind Owen stealing his aunties smoothie)

These boys by far changed my life. I had a rough start in life and never had an opportunity to know what love was. I was always afraid and I've lived my entire life afraid. Then these boys came along. They taught me how to be brave, taught me patience (mostly by testing it!) but most importantly they taught me how to love. I know for a fact I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for them. I owe them my entire existence.

bump for entries

submit your entries, most people must have someone that inspires them in some way!

I don't know you, but I am proud of you for not following in her footseps. I know a lot of people who do go down the prison road just like their parents   And I'm afraid my brother will end up there

Can someone please enter for me !!!(sorry its a bit longer but I can't put it any other way )
This is my biggest inspiration, my lovely daughter; miss evelynn faith!
Before she came along, I was into some bad stuff, and at my witts end. Shortly following the traumatic events in my life, I found out I was pregnant... I didn't know what to do. I stopped all my negative doings, got my life together, and put my pregnancy first. Got through that, and now I am raising a beautiful baby girl who saved me and made me who I am now. She is and will forever be my inspiration, she is wonderful and always brings so much joy.
