Dr. Rhodes is a woman who came from the rural parts of Arkansas.  She married at a young age and then later became a widow.  She raise her children and went back to school and got her Bachelor, Master and Doctoral degrees.  She is a motivation speaker and business owner.  Her son and I have been friends since the third grade.  Dr. Rhodes was my piano teacher and I would also sit over her house and she would give us lesson on life problems by the biblical stand points.  Her influence in my life was to put God first in everything that I do and to have faith in what I want to achieve.

Hazel Hicks was my 4th grade teacher.  She was a teacher who discuss news events in the world and around our states.  She always told us to read and get to know what is going on in the world. Mrs. Hicks played the piano too.  She came to my church one Sunday and saw me playing and continue to lifted me up when I would play. Mrs. Hicks became my daughter 4th grade teacher too.  Doing this time I had to learn how to be part of a blended family.  Mrs. Hicks gave me advice how to be focus and provide positive words for my new daughter.  I use some of her kinds words to help my blended families that I work with now.
