Family really IS forever. So many people walk in and out of our lives but one thing will ALWAYS remian. Family. They serve as our comforter in times of need, our shoulder to cry on when down, our laughs, our encouragers, our role models, biggest teachers, best friensd, and as a rock when things get too hard to handle. My family is what means the most to me out of anything on this earth. They have always encouraged me to dream big and to keep moving forward even when times get tough. Becuase of the people in my family who believed in me and prayed for me I am where I am today as a freshman at the college of my dreams. When I felt like giving up on my dreams and settle for something they pushed me to be alll that I can be. There is no greater influence in my life that the people I call family.
