Without my parents, I would find myself adrift in the vast sea of life, devoid of the sturdy anchors they provided. From the earliest days, they sculpted the foundation of my character, instilling values that guide my decisions and actions. Their unwavering support created a safety net, catching me during moments of uncertainty and fostering an environment where I could thrive.
In the realm of education, my parents were my first teachers, imparting not just academic knowledge but also the importance of curiosity and perseverance. Their encouragement fueled my intellectual pursuits, and instilling confidence, they shaped me into a lifelong learner. Beyond confidence, they taught me invaluable life lessons—compassion, resilience, and the significance of integrity.
Emotionally, my parents provided a sanctuary where I could freely express myself. Their unconditional love acted as a constant source of strength, reinforcing my self-worth and resilience during challenges. Through both triumphs and tribulations, they stood by me, offering guidance and encouragement.
After my father passed suddenly while I was in the Navy, My mother became a mentor of my life. Her sacrifices and dedication formed the backbone of my aspirations, motivating me to push boundaries and reach for the stars. Without her, my journey would be a solitary trek rather than a shared expedition with those who care for me the most.

Gratitude for their impact on my life is not just a sentiment but a profound recognition of the great foundation that became my blueprint for my family.
I was lucky to have them both…
