Growing up, family played a significant role in my life. I can truly say that I am who I am today because of them. I was taught that for as long as I live the right way, not hurting anyone along the way, and being thankful for what I have, I will be happy.

Going to church gave me the feeling that I am never alone. Going to boy scouts gave me a lot of common…
