God gave me some pretty amazing people in my life. I have had the kind of support that many people could only hope for. I have a mother and father who not only told me I could do anything but truly believed I would do anything I dreamed up. I have two older brothers Andy and Eric. My brothers are the kind of brothers that could convince me to do anything just by not treating me like the little sister. I jumped from cliffs I chased after them while climbing mountains. They simply had to say “its ok if you don’t do it, after all you’re a girl” and I would jump. They were not the over protecting kinds of brothers but the ones that believed in my strength even when I didn’t. I also have a best friend who lives four hours away, my cousin. My cousin Carly was born just a few months before me and has been my rock all my life. We visited each other as much as possible growing up and every chance we got we would spill every secret we kept from everyone else. I have so many friends and family who have been so supportive throughout my life. So how do I leave all of them? It is because of their support and love that I know I can go off for a year. It’s because of the faith they have giving me in God that I believe this is possible.
