I'm that girl who loves endlessly, just like my mom taught me. She taught me so many things - how to do laundry at college, how to handle stressful situations, when to cry and just how much ice cream to eat when that happens, and she's taught me how to be the girl I am today.

My mom is my best friend, shoulder to cry on, and my biggest supporter that I have. She is always on my side, except when I forget to clean my room for the second day in a row, but she always supports me. From boy problems to college, she has always helped me more than anyone.

I'm that girl who calls her mom once a day, if not twice. Whether I'm walking to class or laying in bed, I'm always FaceTiming my mom and telling her about my day or the dog I just saw. And no, I am not ashamed of it either.

There have been plenty of people who ask, "Why do you always involve your mom in the things that are going on in your life?" it's because she always has my best interest at heart. She always tells me how she sees it, whether I agree or disagree. For those who say I'm too close to my her or ask why I tell my mom so much about my life, I constantly find myself pondering how they couldn't. Family is so important to me. Without them, I wouldn't be half the girl I am today.

My mom always knows what to say and how to say it. I tell her everything, even if it means I could get in trouble for it. There are days that I needed a stern lecture when I've messed up, or when I needed to celebrate because I finished my homework a day early. She's my biggest supporter and best friend. Without her by my side, I know I couldn't have accomplished half of the things I have today. I wouldn't trade her for anything in the world.

Being away from home at college is hard enough as it is, but I think it would be unbearable if I didn't have the support of my family constantly. They always want what's best for me and what will make me happy.

My family is my everything. Truly. They've taught me so much in general, but they've also helped me become who I am today. Without them, I know that I would not be the girl I am today.
