To My Family,

Thank you for the life you have all given me, for making sacrifices, for planning around my schedule, for never judging me and always loving me. I will never be able to repay you for these things. Each of you has had such a strong and positive impact on my life and because of you, I am the person that I am today, I have the opportunities I have today, and I feel unconditional and constant love everyday.

To my parents,

Thank you for ever sacrifice you have made for me over the past twenty one years. Thank you for knowing how to teach me and mold me into the person that I am today. I know I've always been the wild child, and you both have NEVER failed to support my dreams and goals. I will never be able to thank you enough for the love and support that you have, and continue to give to me.

To my siblings,

You two have taught me more than you will ever know. Although I do complain about this a lot, Having an older sister to follow in school was one of the best things that could have happened. I learned from you how to become s better and stronger person just by observing the way that you carry yourself. Having a younger brother has always been fun and I want to thank you for always lightening the mood when it needs to be lightened and teaching me to never give up.

To my grandparents,

Although two of you are no longer here with us, all four of you have impacted my life in such a positive way. Some of my favorite memories are those of my cousins and I spending the night with you, family trips to the lake together, cookies and donuts for breakfast, and much much more. You taught me at a young age how important it is to have a happy and content heart.

To my aunts, uncles, cousins, and everyone in between,

Thank you for making my life so full from the time I was born on. Thank you for your caring hearts and your willingness to always step in when needed. You all have taught me how to have fun, how to love, how to smile and laugh through difficult times, and how to mature into the adult that I am today.

For each and every one of my family members, I am very thankful. I love every single one of you with all my heart and I am happy and grateful to know that each of you feel the same way in return. I am who I am today because of the impact you all have had on my life, and I will never be able to thank you enough for that...but here's to trying!! Thank you for giving me the best life out there. I am so lucky.
