    As I got older there were always more and more challenges that I faced, but I always had a best friend and a wingman to help me through it, my Dad. When I was born on March 9, 1999 my Dad said I was the best present he could have ever gotten. The amazing thing was that I was born on my Dad’s birthday and my mom was in labor with me for three days. It’s like I purposefully waited for that day. I have never met my real mom because she left when I was born, but the thing that was amazing was that my Dad stayed and helped me grow up, and did everything that a father should do.…

Since my mom and I are very close, like best friend status, I already knew a lot about her which made the interviewing process much easier. My mom and I share a lot of the same views on many issues but have differing views on a few, especially under the diversity category. I live at home with my mom and father and so I see my mom everyday which is one reason why our viewpoints are similar, so we can both avoid cognitive dissonance and it makes the day to day living more manageable.…
