The Homie Ges

If it weren't for my family, I wouldn't even be here right now. They've played the biggest role in creating the person I am today. I've learned so much from each and every one of them, and with their constant encouragement I am continuing to find myself and grow as a person. It's the best feeling in the world knowing that these three people will always be there for me, through thick and thin, and I know I'll always be there for them.

We're all in this together - Mom, me, Isabella, and Dad

My family consists of my mom, Sue, my dad, Larry, and my younger sister, Isabella. The three of them are the most important people in my lives because they have the biggest influence on who I am today. My family has extremely high expectations for me, and though sometimes they seem daunting, without their motivation and support in my pursuit of these goals I would be no where close to where I am today. I am extremely grateful to have been blessed with such a loving, unique, and successful family, and their believing in me helps me believe in myself.

 

Me and Isabella

Isabella, my sister, is 6 years younger than me. While we occasionally argue and fight like all other siblings, in the end we both know we'll always be there for each other no matter what. I'm so lucky to have such a talented sibling; whether she's at school or at dance, Isabella always shines and puts 100% into whatever she's doing. We share this level of understanding of each other that only sisters can have, and I'm truly grateful to have Isabella as my built in bestie. I know that this bond will last even when I go to college and we both enter adulthood, and I can't wait to watch her grow up!

 

Me and my mom

My mom, Sue, is one of my greatest sources of inspiration. Not only does she work an intensive full-time job at Intel, but she manages to juggle all of Isabella and my extracurricular activities and look good while doing so! I would be no where close to where I am now without the support of the best mom in the world, who is always looking out for me and keeps my best interest in mind. We share so many common interests and philosophies, which brings us closer not only as mother and daughter but also as friends.

 

My dad and I

My dad, Larry, is definitely the glue that holds our entire family together. He has a passion for golf and is a master chef, and not to mention is the best dad ever! He puts up with all of my moods and I know that he cares so much about me, which means the world to me. I can't imagine a life without his humor and wisdom, and I couldn't ask for a better father even if I tried.
