What does family mean to me?

Family means everything. Family is made up of the people who want what’s best for you and are always there for you. It doesn’t matter if they are related by blood, marriage or friendship, to me being family is a choice. Family is comprised of the people who will be the ones to make you a stronger and better person. Being family simply means loving each other through the good and the bad, the beautiful and the ugly, the fun and the sad.

I am the second oldest of four children. I have an older sister, a younger sister and a younger brother who are some of my best friends. I have lived in the metro Atlanta area since I was 3-weeks old. My mom and step-dad made sure that we had the best life possible and provided us with so many amazing opportunities. I am lucky to have the life I have and so much of that is thanks to my amazing family who have shaped and continue to shape me into the woman I am today.
