What defines you?

The most important things to me are my family, friends, and church.  My family means everything to me.  I have two families that support me no matter what I do.  One is my real family, while the other one is my swimming family.  I love being able to talk to my parents about anything anytime of the day.  They would never turn me down no matter how bad of a situation I was in, they would help me out of it. My swimming family is also very important to me.  I would consider them my second family.  I  have a swim team back home and now I have a new swimming family here at USD.  My swimming family back home is very special to me.  The girls on the team are like my little sisters, they call me almost everyday just to say hi to me. I will always feel like I have someone to talk to from one of my families.  My friends are also very special to me.  I can always count on them to make me feel better when I am down.  I love that I can call anyone of my friends and count on them answering the phone.  The friends that I have allow me to feel relaxed and enjoy life.  I am not sure what I would do without them.  Church is also very important aspect of my life.  It is a place that I can go and share my feeling and not be judged.  Church has been important to me since I was a little girl.  The atmosphere is very warm and inviting.  It is also a place that I can go no matter what I do and they will do everything they can to make sure that I get help.  All of these things are important factors in my life.  Without one of them I would not know what to do with myself.
