I didn't really like my dad's company that much as a child, but I knew he thought I was so capable of anything . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-your-biggest-cheerleader-growing-up#post-2147458 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 09:34:14 +0000 Anagram 2147458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom for sure. She's a very positive person....I think that's why she was such a good elementary school teacher. She is always good at seeing strengths in kiddos where others may not see it. It's no surprise that her 6 children have extremely varied careers.</p> <p>And my little sister with severe mental illness is downright thriving right now, and I know she wouldn't be without my mom's relentless optimism and diligence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-was-your-biggest-cheerleader-growing-up#post-2147305 Fri, 17 Apr 2015 08:09:17 +0000 mrbee 2147305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom really believed in me. It made a huge difference in my life! I think that just one person believing in your potential can make a huge difference... I hope to be one of those people for my kids!</p> <p>When I was playing street football with some neighborhood kids in high school, one friend told me that I could play football on the team. I dismissed him, but he was insistent that I go to tryouts with him. Ended up playing for three years, and never forgot how much his encouragement meant to me at the time!</p> <p>Who was your biggest cheerleader growing up? </p>
