Fletcher Merritt                  My  Mom                                                                     

My Mother nurtured and care for me by letting me sit in the kitchen while she cook or did her students grades.  She helped me with my homework and taught me how to cook, be a mother and was excellent teacher with her students.  My mother received her Bachelor Degree when I was 4 years old and she graduate Sum Cum Lade.  When I was in the sixth grade my mother went back to school to get her Master Degree. My mother was a sixth grade teacher, youth director of the church.  Her influence in my life help me to know I can continue my education while being a mother, working and her caregiver. She always made sure that we knew who our ancestor where.  She research her family history back to the first slave in South Carolina. The one thing that she always said to all of us is "you learn by looking" which mean look around when you go to a new place and discover what is going on.
