My Family

Family is important to me because they are the ones who support me and encourage me to do my best. I am grateful to be blessed with such a great family. One that pays for my college tuition, cell phone bills, insurance, and many other things. I have never gotten into a fistfight with my little brother who is fourteen, and I am grateful for that too. I am glad to live with people who want to see me grow and become a man who can support himself as well as his family. I am proud to say that I can do one of these for the most part, which is that I can support myself.

I find that if I were given the ability to be cut off from my parents, I could live and work and eat, but because of their ongoing support both monetarily and emotionally, I am not completely sure that I could live the same lifestyle I am living now. My parents have been married for 25 years now and they are happy (I think) with the way I turned out. My brother, as I mentioned is 4 years younger than I, and strives to do all the things I did, but better. I am grateful for him because I can still see much of myself in him and learn from some of the things he does.

This picture was taken in Washington State, and is set in Olympic National Park at Hurricane Ridge. This day was fun as the day before was so foggy, we could not see more than 20 yards in front of ourselves. I had a bunch of fun on this trip and hope to go back sometime!
