My advocate is my dad. He always have my back and I love him to death. He is someone I can always talk to, and I know he always have my back. I know my dad see greatness when he looks at me. I’m very smart and independent. My dad always came through when I need him. When I’m going through things, he always makes sure he have my back.
My worst critic is my sister. Or it could be myself at times. I’m very hard on myself because I know what I’m capable of. I’m very smart and hard going. My sister always have something to say. She is my biggest critic. She think she my momma.
I can’t do nothing right in her eyes, but I still love her to death. I just think my sister wants me to be better in life and go very far. She just wants me to be better in life and go very far. She just wants me to be great and successful.
So I don’t take it in a wrong way when she tries to talk to me, but sometimes she can be a hypocrite and that just makes me mad ‘cause it’s like you do that stuff, but I just be thinking she wants me to be better and not like her. So I don’t be mad, I be understanding where she be coming from.
