Music is something I am very passionate about. I love listening to all kinds of genres and different music groups play. Since I was little, I have been involved in choir and a few musicals. While I may not be able to play an instrument myself, I enjoy listening to my brother play his flute or crash cymbals together.

My family comes from a mix of several backgrounds but we are mostly influenced by our Scottish and Swedish/Finnish heritage. For example, I was at a funeral where bagpipes were played to honor our Scottish heritage.

It's important to accept people for who they are because everyone is different in their own special way. I find it frustrating when I meet someone who is not accepting of others.

My parents have always encourage my siblings and I to always be courteous to others no matter what. It does not take much time to be kind to others and oftentimes is more rewarding.

For as long as I can remember, animals have always been in my life. My family has had hermit crabs, turtles, and fish. We found my cat wondering around outside on Halloween and my dog was found by neighbors in a ditch by the road.

When my parents started having kids, my mother decided to be domestic engineer (stay-at-home mom) in order to raise us. My dad was in the navy and often out to sea for months at a time. She was left to do everything around the house with little help while taking care of three kids.

Most of my family lives in Massachusetts, and its hard to find the right times to visit. That's why my family tries to make a trip up to visit once a year. There are many people to visit but it's always fun. If we can't make it, someone will come visit us.
