I grew up with my sister, and a loving father and mother who always gave me the attention and care to make me into the person I am today. They reinforced my strengths while pushing me to achieve great things by following my passions. I am so incredibly grateful for the love they showed me because without them, I would probably not be applying to Case Western, or any university for that matter.
I say this because about 2 years ago I met my best friend and current girlfriend. Her name is Allyson and she is a wonderfully spirited girl who is probably the most caring and passionate person I will ever meet in my life.

Love is almost alien to Allyson because of her past life experiences and it makes it very hard to form a stable relationship with her.
But after getting to know Ally for 2 years and being in a relationship for almost one year, I slowly have committed myself to being the person she can confide in most. Many people in her past have hurt her, like friends and family.

She recently shared with me the fact that I actually fulfilled that role for her. She said that ever since she met me, I became her companion through all the hard times she's been through. Her words filled me with an indescribable feeling. I was so happy and moved by what she said because it meant I succeeded in becoming the person I wanted to be for
