LANA AND JESSICA TILLERY, GILMER

Lana, 45

"Jessica has given our family so many proud moments beginning the day she was born, but the most recent moment was when Jessica tried out for the Kilgore College Rangerettes. She was on the drill team in high school and has loved to dance since she was 2 years old. The tryouts lasted for one week and there were approximately 70 girls trying out for 35 places.

I had never been more nervous for Jessica than on the last day when they called the girls in and let them know who made the line. I was so proud of Jessica for even trying out, but I knew how much she wanted to make the line and you never want your child to be disappointed or hurt. When we saw Jessica, she was crying but gave us the thumbs-up sign. There were so many emotions at that moment — relief, happiness, excitement — but the greatest emotion was pride for all that she had accomplished."

Jessica, 19

"My mom makes me proud every day, which makes it extremely difficult to think of just a single moment. I watch how she goes constantly, leaving a busy day at work to come home where she cooks, cleans, washes the family's clothes and always has a smile on her face.

She is an amazing Christian and has made me the person I am today. She has brought me up in a Christian home and has taught me so much. I love it when people tell me I look and act just like her. I am proud of her for being a great mom."

RENYA AND KALETA GREEN, LONGVIEW

Renya, 49

"There have been many times that I have been truly proud of Kaleta. She has always been an exceptional student. She made good grades, she was conscientious about her studies and usually received excellent conduct reports as well. She is the only girl from a family of five children so naturally she is considered special in many ways. Many people, especially me, are proud of Kaleta's accomplishments at church, school and in the community.

Recently, a time of pride for me has been Kaleta's decision to pursue a health-care career as a speech-language pathologist. I am elated that she has decided to follow this career path, one that I started more than 30 years ago. She became interested when she was part of the Explorer's Club, a group that explored career opportunities in middle school. This experience, along with the fact that she knows that I love what I do as a speech pathologist, helped her decide to pursue this career. I am truly proud of her for being who she is and for selecting speech pathology as her future field of study."

Kaleta, 17

"Pride is a proper sense of personal dignity and worth; to make one justly proud. I have so much pride and my mother is really the reason. She has accomplished so much. One of the proudest moments that I have experienced was watching my mother receive her second masters degree. I was very young, but I will never forget that day. My mother is a single parent, and for her to do so much and still be a wonderful mom makes me extremely proud. She received her second masters degree from Stephen F. Austin University, and that helped prove that minorities can accomplish anything they set their minds to. She worked very hard to get that, and there were not many people who could help her out. My mother makes me proud all of the time, and I'm truly lucky to have such a great parent."
