This isn't a picture from the day I was born but I was still a baby so I'd like to think that's close enough!

When I was born I took on the roles of daughter, cousin, granddaughter, and niece. To my future disappointment I never became a sister, but I think that's okay overall.

I was baptized. My family has always taken great care to be a part of the Catholic church and made it a point to involve their children in it as well. From this point onward, my family life and spiritual life would be interconnected.

My catholic faith didn't only seep into my family life but also my education all the way up to my undergrad where I would continue going to religious affiliated schools. My roles as a member of my family, faith, and school life all became intertwined.

I was a cheerleader for a short period because I thought the Bring It On movies were cool.

Catholicism played a really big role not only in my schooling but also in my friend groups too. All my friends I had made were from church and school, so if you didn't go to church I wouldn't have known you, it seems. Unless you were part of my family.

Unfortunately, I don't have a picture to commemorate this, but I was diagnosed as a type 1 diabetic at age 12. I had almost died and it was really traumatic for not only me but for everyone that was close to me. It will be 13 years soon and my diagnosis still takes up a huge part of my life since it will never leave me.

I'm sure this picture will not be very much appreciated, but too bad

While not a member of my family by blood Walter has been in my family longer than I have. He used to take care of me when my mom needed to work, but now I help take care of him as his caretaker. With this life transition I would take on what I believe to be one of my most important roles.

I don't have any siblings and my family has married off or moved to different parts of the country, so a role that I care about very much is being a good friend. I met them while in school and I plan to keep them for the rest of my life as my own little made family.

A role that I didn't think I would care too much for just because I thought it would just be a job was when I was an assistant teacher to a pre-K class. While there were difficult times, I loved each one of those kids dearly and remember them all fondly. While it was a brief role, I will cherish it always.

While I didn't mention it earlier in the timeline, taking care of animals has always been something very important to me. They are a family that I feel people are privileged to have and I will forever be grateful for the 16 years that I had Stinker. On October 3rd of last year she passed and I had lost one of my most important roles as companion to animals.

I think my most important life role now is either as a student or as a caretaker for Walter. I take both very seriously since they both hold a great deal of influence in my life. Looking back in these moments throughout my life, what has stood out the most to me are the relationships that I have created over these 25 years. Although I don't keep in contact with everyone that I used to interact with throughout my life I still remember them and what they have done for me and how that has shaped me into who I am right now.
