As an Italian, we celebrate The Feast of the Seven Fishes (Italian: Festa dei sette pesci), also known as The Vigil (Italian: La Vigilia). Which is an Italian-American celebration of Christmas Eve with meals of fish and other seafood.

I value my very strong work ethic. I have always been praised for my good grades and I strive for excellence.  My family supports me and my work ethic by coming to my events and encouraging me. To maintain my success, I have a very detailed calendar for myself. If something on the calendar does not get done, I do not do anything else until the task is finished. This is one example of my self-discipline. It helps me stay organized and successful.

Not many 15 year olds are asked to be a Godmother but I was. Not many 18 years olds are a Godmother to two. I am very involved in both my God Children's lives. I stride to be the best Godmother and role model I can be for them.

My extended family on my mom’s side loves to get together for all holidays. My grandmother has everyone over on New Years for pork and sauerkraut. For Easter, we do an egg hunt and have ham for dinner. Patriotic holidays, such as Memorial Day and Fourth of July call for picnics outdoors. Birthday celebrations are a must for cake and presents. On Thanksgiving, we gather to have a feast. On Christmas Eve and Christmas, we eat, exchange presents, and watch holiday movies together.
Pictured here is my one-year old nephew who clearly is not a fan of the Easter Bunny..

I am currently a full-time student at MCCC taking five classes this semester. Additionally, I work at the Spring Valley YMCA as a Group Supervisor's Assistant. Specifically, I am onsite at a nearby elementary school with twenty K-4 school-age children. I work 25 hours a week there and I love it. Attached, is a note one of my first graders wrote for me, she tells me it says "Miss Becca is my favorite teacher".
