Heroes:

My parents are my heroes and that word is even an understatement describing what incredible human beings my parents are. They have always put the needs of my sisters and me before themselves. They have shown me how to love, and how to always give your heart in anything you do because by doing so it will only allow you to learn and grow as an individual. I hope to find love in a partner like my parents have- one who will walk with me for the rest of my life. My other heroes are my beautiful and amazing sisters Michelle, Lisa, Lynette, and Nichole without them I would be left in a world that was unfamiliar. I love these people more than words can describe. Others who I adore Oprah, Bob Marley, Georgia O€™Keeffe, and the great architect Bernini
