Growing up with a single mom was very eye opening. We always moved house to house, city to city, and state to state. It was and amazing experience to live everywhere from Michigan to Hawaii, but nothing was ever set and stone. My Mom is the kindest and most big hearted person I know.

I always try to think about how a decision will affect me before I act. Because my Mom wasn't always there to hold my hand through every single situation when I was younger, I have learned to have great independence and take all responsibility serious. I am very thankful too because some people never learn independence or
