When The Going Gets Tough, So Does My Family

My family means the world to me, and I could not be more thankful for them.

When The Going Gets Tough, So Does My Family
Brandie Anderson

When things get tough and you think that they aren't going your way, look at your family and know that they are always in your corner. Your family members are the ones cheering you on from the sidelines and the audience. In everything that you do they are there supporting you. They never ask why or how, they just support you through everything and anything.

My family means the world to me and without them, I wouldn't be the person that I am today. I have a great family that I wouldn't change for the world. They support me through the good and the bad. When we are going through a rough time, we stick together, fix the problem and we don't look back for anything. Problems do not define my family or our lives, but I know that if they would, they would still be in my corner. My family has always been there for me through everything from my first break up, first homecoming, first prom, last homecoming, college decisions, life decisions, my crazy unachievable goals, death, school, when I decided to try cross country, going to all my plays and speech meets etc.

My family has been there together. We have fought cancer as a family and have almost beat it as a family. My family is a lot stronger than some families I know, and I am so thankful for that. Family, to me, is the people you surround yourself with every day. They do not have to be blood to be family, though I have been so blessed to have a family as great as my own. Right now we are dealing with a crisis that is all our own. My family means so much to me, and I would not change anything about them. I love you guys so much. "Ohana means family, family means nobody left behind."

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
