I believe that working with children is the most rewarding job. You watch children grow physically, mentally, and emotionally over 9 months, and not only are you watching that growth you are also facilitating it. The precious minds of children are so fascinating and I've found myself learning new things from them and how to be more open.

I live by the golden rule "Do to others what you want them to do to you." I believe it is important to take into consideration another person's feelings before speaking or acting. I believe in karma and believe that good actions bring good things to you.

My room is my safe haven and the place I probably spend most of my time. It is separate from the rest of the house and I enjoy going there to decompress and relax. I enjoy coloring and reading, both of these things help me to destress, regain focus, and escape my sometimes hectic life.

My family always sits down to eat together for dinner at the table every night, this is something my parents believed was important for my sister and I to do and for us to do as a family. Dinner is always a time where we can have family discussions and connect. We also celebrate Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Halloween as well. My favorite holiday is Halloween, I love to dress up and have fun.

My mother's parents came over from Germany after WWII, I call them Oma and Opa and we practice many German traditions especially around the holidays. I speak some German and their culture is very important to me. My father's parents are Pennsylvania Dutch. We eat tons of Dutch and German foods at home and my Mommom speaks PA Dutch to us. This is a picture of Schnitzel with spaetzle and red cabbage, a typical German meal we eat at home.

I value respect, hard work, honesty, and believe that anyone can achieve any goal they set for themselves. I strive to stand for what I believe is right and to stand up for those who can't voice their own opinions. I strive to advocate for children, especially those who need a little extra love.
