Q: Who in your life has inspired you, or whom do you look up to and why? My mom is a wonderful role model, and I have looked up to her since I was a little girl. She is the kind of person who always has a smile on her face and sees the positive side of every situation. She cares for her family and friends while putting a great deal of time and effort to help the community and those in need. Helping me grow in faith and encouraging me to pursue my dreams is one of her top priorities. She gives me the confidence to push myself and the belief that I should be proud of the girl I am as well as my many accomplishments. In addition, she keeps me laughing, gives me the warmest hugs and is an amazing shopping partner. I am so blessed to have her as a role model, mother and friend in my life.
