In my lifetime there has been many people that have impacted who I am. There are 3 people that come to mind when I ask myself, ‘who are some people that have really impacted me and the person I am becoming?’ One of the most impactful events in my life would be when my parents got a divorce.

Growing up with such a great group of friends really impacted my life and who I am as a person in a positive way.

I don’t think I would be the same person if I didn’t have the support, the kindness, or the love of the people around me. I am so thankful for the people that surround me and try not to take them for
