Although I may have a strong will, I am also a people pleaser. I am told that sometimes I let other's needs go before my own. I have no problem being honest and presenting my opinion in any situation when prompted. However, I often let others stomp on my point of view and in return, most of the time, I just let it go over my head. My mom warns me to be more aware of how much slack that I give so that I don't get hurt as a consequence.

Something that has kind of always been an insecurity of mine, is my weight and size. My mom has always told me that I am curvy and that there is nothing wrong with that. But I didn't see myself as curvy. I saw chubby or fat in the mirror. There is nothing wrong with being curvy. There is nothing wrong really at all with what you look like. It is all about how you feel. Being on my current meal plan and attending crossfire at least four times a week, I have lost 13 pounds in about three weeks. the numbers are great, but more importantly, I feel better than ever. I have more energy and motivation to succeed. My goal wasn't to loose a certain number, my goal was to learn how to be healthy as a lifestyle. Little did I know I was going to fall in love with fitness and homemade meals!

I have worked at a restaurant in Arroyo Grande called Rooster Creek Tavern as a hostess for two years. I am currently being promoted to serving and I am really excited about that! I really enjoy the people that I work with and I have learned a lot about communication throughout my job as a hostess. Staring interpersonal communications this semester has already helped me to understand why individuals might act or speak a certain way. I hope to be an even better server than I am a host.

I often wonder what kind of mother I will be. I know that I am more than lucky with the role model of a mother that I have. My friend group all throughout high school and to this day refer to me as the mom of the group. Whether this is a good or bad thing I'm not sure... I hope it's a good thing! I consider myself very caring and loving to those around me, but actually holding the life long position and responsibility as a mother will be much different. Having kinds and a family is something that I look forward to.

Like I said before, my sister and I have a really close and crazy relationship. Something that only a few people know is that my sister and I have what some would call a "secret language." It has developed over the past two years and keeps evolving. I am 19, I know. But just being honest, I don't think that it will ever fade completely away. Of course I can't really share all of the details, but having something like that to share with your sibling is something that you hold onto forever. I love my sister and our weirdness together.

Something that I may hide from others is my singing. I know that pretty much everyone might sing in the shower or in the car, but that has always been something that I enjoyed but kept to myself. When I am by myself, I practice a lot singing my favorite songs. I don't think I could ever seriously perform in front of anyone really because that is something that I enjoy keeping to myself... And I would be too embarrassed.

While asking my friends what traits I have that I might not be aware of, they all pointed out my strong will. I may not have realized it, but I have quite a few people that look up to me in my life. Whether it's my best friends, my sister, or even my sister's friends, they all can see that I set very high standards for myself. Standards that in my eyes don't seem high at all.

My parents and boyfriend often remind me in times of stress that I do work really hard for what I achieve. Sometimes I am blind to the matter of my work ethic. When I get overwhelmed it is hard for me to realize that I have a lot of responsibilities. My mom is my rock. She always puts me at ease and helps me recognize all that I have on my plate and everything will work out because I will make it happen like I always do.

I was raised in a Christian home and love to experience having faithful family members. As I grow older, I learn so much more about what kind of person I want to be. Everyone makes mistakes, but through the Lord we learn forgiveness and acceptance which helps a lot especially being in a relationship. Being in a relationship with a man that shares the same religion also makes situations go a lot smoother. This is a photo taken at Hume Lake the summer after my junior year of high school. Truly a life changing experience. The ladies pictured are my friends since birth, Grace and Jayci. I am so blessed to have such amazing people in my life.

My family and I are very close and enjoy doing everything together! I am forever thankful for my parents for providing me with the life that I have. Especially with my lifestyle, it hasn't been easy but I know that I could always count on them for anything! My little sister, Paige, is my best friend. She is just starting her freshman year in high school as I am starting mine in college. We have grown so close and always have such a blast together. She may only be 14, but my friends and I include her in most of our fun too. Often times we are so weird together, we freak ourselves out. I am so proud of her for who she is becoming and I would do anything to stick right by her side.

I LOVE to dance! All of my friends know me as the one that will get on stage anywhere and make a fool out of myself! I love to go to the grad on Thursdays with my friends to line and swing dance. My boyfriend, Zack, and I have learned to swing dance together and I am so lucky to have such a handsome man to dance with! We have been dating for over a year now and he is honestly the greatest. We have been through so much together and he is always so supportive of me with the things that love. He flew all the way to Wyoming to watch me compete at Nationals because there wasn't enough room in our car! He' a keeper.

In my spare time (which I don't have much of) I really enjoy to draw or paint. I took an art class in high school but I like to keep it as a simple hobby. My mom thinks that I should take more art classes and pursue my "gift," but I have many other greater priorities with school in order to successfully transfer to Cal Poly in Animal Science. This is one of my drawings that I completed a few months ago. I am pretty proud of how it turned out and I ended up selling a copy of it on a canvas.

Something that I share with only a few of my friends is my passion for horses. I currently have three horses named China, Cooper, and Adele. I have been riding horses since I could walk and have had unconditional support from my family. For my senior year in high school, I qualified for the National High School Finals Rodeo in Gillette, Wyoming. I ended up third in California and thirtieth in the nation in the reined cow horses event. I am going to continue rodeoing once I transfer to Cal Poly in barrels with Cooper, and then compete in reined cow horse on Adele this year. Cooper and Adele are both three years old and in training. I am so excited for my future with them!

I have struggled quite a bit with self love since middle school. Being healthy seemed to come so easy to some of my friends while I struggled. At this stage in my life, I am on a food program to balance my required nutrient intakeand attending crossfit classes almost everyday. I feel so much more confident with myself and I am growing stronger both physically and mentally
