What has influenced you?

The biggest thing that has influenced me the most would be where and how I was raised.  I am so thankful that I had a loving and caring family growing up, that fought for what they deserved.  I was raised in the small town of Freeburg and I am so glad that it wasn't anywhere else.  Going to school and living in Freeburg definitely had its bad days but I think that is just because of the girls at the school. I can definitely tell you though, that if it wasn't for them I for sure would not be who I am today.  Also, I could not thank my parents enough for raising me the way they did.  when I start a family someday, I hope that I can raise my child how I was raise.  I am a very family oriented person and they are my support system.  Where and how I was raised has definitely influenced me in my life.
