Physical - Physically, I always carry my rings and necklace. My ring on my left pointer finger resembles and embellished cross, and it was given to me by my boyfriend for Christmas this past year. The necklace I wear is a cross with a heart, and it was also given to me by my boyfriend. He, however, gave this to me on our one year anniversary, so it holds quite a bit more weight to me. Finally my ring on my left middle finger was given to me by my mother on my 17th birthday. It reminds me that I will always have a friend in her, right by my side.
Dreams/Goals - My dream that I always hold in my heart is to exceed expectations. I always want to be a step above the average (if not a bound). If I am asked to write a 6-7 point essay, I better write at least an 8. If I am asked to lift 1 gram with my physics project, you better bet I'll push for 2. My goal is to always push myself as hard as I can, because average is never an option.
Relationship - As described prior in my post, one can easily tell that my boyfriend means a lot to me - Lenny. He is there for me no matter what sort of day I'm having and in my saddest moments he reminds me that I'm beautiful. In addition to this are my best friends Caroline and Elena. They have been there for me for years, we have been through everything together, and I know if I want to turn my day around I just need to call Elena and I will be set. I love these best friends of mine; they are my inspirations.
Personality - I would say that I am determined, compassionate, and patient. I always push myself to do what I've never done before, I like to help those who are in need - whatever that may mean- , and I have the ability to hold my tongue under nearly any circumstance. When people see me, they probably see the "perfect" "smart" "happy" girl, at least this is what I've been told. What they don't know, however, is I rarely see myself in this light. I fall short of these high expectations constantly. I love who I am though, and I can only work to better myself everyday.
Memories - My older sister was diagnosed at age 1 with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (long story short, she suffers from mental impairment, seizures, and large red skin blemishes). She is 21 now, and my childhood with her in the house has shaped me to who I am today. She taught me that you need to choose your battles wisely. She taught me that there is beauty in imperfection. Most importantly, she taught me that joy can be found in any and every situation. My memory of my lovely, beautiful, amazing older sister Mackenzie is the most extraordinary of the things I carry.
