My Mission Statement

I will attempt to always be myself, even when I do not want to. I will strive to always be the bigger person and learn to forgive and forget. I will try to help those in need and always accept a challenge with a postive outlook. I will put my family first and work hard to make them proud. I will work hard towards my dreams and goals. I will not let any negative force get in my way.

Who am I?

My aunt has had the greatest influence on my life growing up. She has been a second mom to me and always cheers me up when I'm down. About 5 years ago my aunt was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic cancer throughout her body. This changed my life drastically. It is truly amazing how my aunt is always able to look on the bright side of things and never lets her cancer get in the way of her life. She is a true inspiration to me. Another thing that has effected my life is reading. I used to hate reading so much but once I started freshmen year of high school, I could not stop. I read about 3 books a week and I will honestly read anything (with the exception of some extremely boring school books). Reading has clearly effected my life for the better and is something that really manages to make my days a lot better. A third event that has changed my life is my amazing friendships that have come out of my years here at the Mount. I have made some many new friends and I know I can always count on them to be there for me. Sometimes I wonder what I would even do without them. My friends from the Mount have had a great positive impact on my life. (my computer at home is refusing to let me upload any kind of picture onto my blog, so sorry about that...)
