My dad is a first generation German. I never met my German grandparents they both passed away before I was thought of, However I believe that with him growing up in the German culture and then passing that on to us was hard for him but also very exciting to share his culture with us. I think that this also affected the house hold environment. He would take pride in knowing a little about reading and speaking German. we would celebrate normal holidays with a fun German tradition mixed in. we would also visit the Oktoberfest every year, among other great traditions.

I am a single mother. I would give anything for my child, I never asked or wanted to be in this place in my life where I would have to raise a child alone, but so far I would not change it for anything. I have a very rich support system filled with family that would give anything to us.
My family is very understanding and easy to work with and get along with. Being a mother has enabled me to grow and be a better person I believe that having her in my life is a major blessing.

I was born and raised in a LDS family. I have always had a problem when it comes down to going or being at church. I never felt comfortable. I remember being a little thing and thinking the only reason why I am going to church is to see my cousin, and because I am told that it is what is best. I then decided when I was about 14 that this is not how I want to live my live and the people I want to spend my time around. Religion has shaped me into the person I am today since I still believe in the church's morals and ways of living. I believe in being kind, true to yourself and a little of everything. Finding the good and the reason behind things, science. However, I do not affiliate myself with the the church directly.

I believe that being from Utah is a culture of it's own. People from Utah have access to so many cultures and diversities. It is so beautiful and full of things to do. There is defiantly a stigma when being from Utah that I did not notice until I was older. When you travel you hear things like "oh Utah, Oh Salt lake City. You must be a snotty Mormon who goes to diners when they are about to close, and you are trusting Jesus to take your wheels while driving because Utah's Drivers." This can be frustrating especially when people do not really know what they are really saying and they do not really know where this information is from, but what they do not see is all the positive things that can be done and found in Utah.
