Family

Mom:
My mom is a blessing from God. She keeps me well dressed, well fed, has taught me manners and financial skills. She has helped me develop into a well rounded person. She has a good sense of humor and an awesome personality. She is smart and very supportive as well as responsible. My mom is also very fun and always brings a kick to my step and a smile to my face.

Dad:
This is my Dad. He's the sports guy in the family. I learn a lot from him and he has really inspired me throughout the years. I go to him when I need a second opinion on something and I can trust he will give me an honest answer which is great. He supports my goals and believes in me. He is intelligent and I aspire to follow in his footsteps, educationally speaking.

Laura:
Laura is my step mom. She entered my life when I was about twelve. She is really hip and we get along well. She's one of those people I can talk to about almost everything and she always makes me feel better. She loves to mess around with me and we are getting closer as the years go by. Although we aren't blood, we are definitely family and I love her.

Katie:
Kate is my little sister. At the age of twelve she goes to Graham Middle School. I get along great with her and enjoy watching her grow and mature into the intelligent and respectable lady she is becoming. I am proud to be her big brother and try to influence her in a positive way. She inspires me to try my hardest and give a hundred percent effort in every aspect of life because that is what she does. From grades to Soccer which she also excels in, she works her hardest and reaches her goals. I love my lil sis!

Jonathan: This is my big brother. Immigrating here to the United States three and a half years ago Jonathan has worked extremely hard on becoming fluent in english and all his efforts have paid off. Now three years later, he uses a vocabulary that outdoes most of the population born here in the U.S. He has in this way shown me that if you keep working at your goals no matter how difficult they are, that in the end you will achieve success. He will be turning nineteen years old this November and currently attends San Jose State University. He brightens my life in a unique and special way. He keeps me laughing all day long, but he can be serious too. He's a talented drawer as well as one of the best soccer players I have ever met and is in general, very athletic. He greatly influences me on a day to day basis, keeping me down to earth and real with myself as well as the world around me.

Gram:
My grandma from my moms side of the family. She is full of energy and love. Gram is also extremely helpful and intelligent. Whenever I need her she comes through for me and has truly been a really supportive role model. I love her tons and enjoy spending time with her.. She has a positive attitude and her aura of happiness follows her whenever she goes.

Uncle Vinny and Aunt Nancy:
My Aunt and Uncle. These are two extremely fun people in my life. Both are hip and socially connected. I get along really well with both of them and love spending time with both. I find that I learn a lot from each and value our relationships. They are happily married and are perfect for each other. I hope to spend more time with them in the near future and love them lots.
