My Identity

My Mother

My mother is my biggest role model. She survived breast cancer twice. During her fight, she showed me what it really means to have "strength." This past October she participated in the Susan G. Komen 3 Day Walk with my sister, Christina. I was so proud of her for raising the money and then walking 60 miles for three days. My mother also took care of my sister and me when my dad served in the military when we were little. She is truly a strong, loving mother, and my best friend.
Music
Music really defines who I am, which is versatile. Any genre of music from Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, to Luke Bryan I know every lyric to. Music helps me through any situation, whether it be good or bad. I also think by having a diverse selection of music, I can relate with different types of people. I enjoy comparing what songs my mom would listen through a breakup versus our typical Taylor Swift Never Getting Back Together . I think by having an appreciation for music you can really connect with people on a different level.
The Beach
The beach is where I find serenity. Whether it is reading a book while tanning in the sun or body surfing on a wave with my friends, I find so much joy and peace in my life. When I am at the beach, the typical anxiety I have washes away (literally). At the beach I am with four families in one house, which is the best. Giant dinners and laughs from 8am until 2am is what being down the shore is all about.
