Most important thing to me:
Do I have to pick one??? Well I
can’t, so here it goes. Dominic, my son, is
the most important of the important things to me. He is three years old, loves animals, frog
hunting, hats, playing in puddles, music, curious George, and riding his
strider bike. Dominic is my reason to
pursue dreams in life and now I am back in school (the third most important
thing to me). I am studying to become a
Biologist but have not decided on what field. I have been so blessed with
amazing mentors and opportunities through school and will be spending my summer
at Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve where I plan to hike and get a good
suntan in preparation of WW weekend. The
second most important thing to me is my family; I am the baby of 5 kids and now
the proud auntie to four nephews and three dogs. Although we are spread throughout all of
the US my family has remained close and forever tied through the loss of my
brother at age 16. Kasey did not pass
from cancer but I did learn at an early age what it is like to lose someone you
are close to and to desire to do whatever you can to help others.
Things I like: Listening
to calling frogs, feeling my horses breath on my face, my mom’s: fruit pizza,
special K bars, rice crispy bars, strawberry cake…ok so any dessert my mom
makes, slippers, naps, overcoming trials in my life, getting done with a
workout, and freshly made beds (especially if I didn’t make it)
Things I dislike:
Starting a workout, needles, wet shoes, the sound of ice crystals
scraping in a freezer, mushrooms, and getting my eyebrows waxed
Favorite quote: “Every sinner has a future and every saint
has a past.” -Anonymous
Most Joyful Moment:
My heaven moment (the moment if I had to live only one for the rest of
my life) would be one day when I was riding my horse at sunset on a trail that
bordered a meadow and there was a cool breeze and the scent of wildflowers in
the air. We galloped for that stretch of
trail and I remember thinking I could feel God.
I have never felt so close to nature and to understanding the meaning of
life as I had at that moment, my heaven moment.
