Being part of such a large family comes with its positives, like always going home on the holidays with leftovers, as well as its negatives, such as having 3 aunts along with your mother lecturing you when you step out of line.

Growing up we moved around a lot, for a while we lived in Hollister, MO, just outside of Branson, MO. Once we came back to Tennessee we were bound for Knoxville yet again. I grew up in South Knoxville, so in other words I bleed orange even though I don't consistently watch football.

My brother and I are first generation college students. We were also the first two in our family in over 15 years to graduate from high school. Our younger cousins have followed in our foot steps, making education important to us all. Which is part of how my older brother and I decided to be teachers.

Every morning I like to have some personal time and sing/listen to music. Music got me through quite a lot as a teenager by giving me an outlet through singing. Being in one choir or another growing up allowed for me to find a voice that I never knew I had. The following song always reminds me of the loved ones I have lost, especially my grandfather who was my father figure growing up.

Something my family has always done that is important is celebrate birthdays together. We all live in so many different places, but at least a few times a year we try to celebrate birthdays together. With there being so many people born in the same month (like March) we do a group party that way we all get to enjoy it together.
