I often have a difficult time speaking about myself, I mean lets be honest who does not think highly of themselves. I wanted a chance to be honest with myself and others, so I allowed my friends and family share this assignment with me. With one simple question I asked IN ONE WORD PLEASE DESCRIBE ME, and the words you find above are the answers I received. I believe that you are what you contribute to the world, to society, to your community, to someone else's life. Your are the mirror image of the impact that you have on someone else.
In so many ways I consider myself a role model, I am the assistant coach of a cheer team and everyday I am faced with different questions from these young girls for example “How old were you when you got your first tattoo and how old do you think I should be when I get mine.” I know that my response is something that these young girls will carry with them for years to come. I am also a risk taker, there came a point in my life where there was no longer a plan, no blue print to follow, I had to create my own path. I had finally graduated college and accomplished all that my parents had asked of me, now it was my time to find myself. So with a few dollars and a dream I moved to LA and though it was a trying experience I HAVE TRULY FOUND MYSELF.
I am a person of many faces, many traits, and many styles but over all I am ME. A unique individual who is optimistic, and prepared to take life by the horns and ride this thing out to the wheels come off…
