my non drug usage , a next door neighbor that was a dealler, a user and an azzhole

my parents gave me my athletism really, as long asi was out running i was not in the house with them

reading, my mother, as a small kid for every hour of tv i had to spend an hour reading.

my independence, my mother, sure you can do it but your going to figure out how....camp, cross-crountry, track, bands. i spent a lot of time biking and running to my other activities since no assistance was offered/given

love of animals- mother my mother loves all animals, i never saw her cringe at a snake, a spider, a bat or anything, she taught me the value of life in all creatures.

Probably the biggest influence in my life was my older brother. I have 3 sisters who are much older than me, therefore pretty much ignored me for most of my life. My brother is 5 years older than me. From him is where I got my love of sports and anything athletic. Whenever him and his buddies got together to play football, he always made them let me play, even tho I was a girl.School was a breeze for me because I got lots of practice doing his homework for him. He also taught me how to fight and to stand up for myself.

It's a shame he's such a piece of crap now, Sad I'm embarrased to tell people I'm related to him.

So, it's safe to say he does not mention you as his greatest childhood influence? Wink
