The things that make me tick

The most important part of any personMY FAMILY

They support me when times get rough and they let me know that they will always be there for me

When I'm down they make sure to cheer me up

They make sure they drive me insane

They motivate me to do better

•I've always been different

•I liked being a nerd

•Never was one to ride the bandwagon sometimes

I chose the opposite choice just because

•Being a Jehovah’s witness has taught me many values that have made me into the person I am today•It has taught lessons I need to do well in school and life from an early age•Such as being punctual, how to speak properly, how to treat and teach others, researching information, reading properly and much more

•Like many people my surroundings have had a big impact on who I became•Growing up in the bay area has let me experience a unique cultural blend that can not be found anywhere else in the world•Although I don’t have much I can see how living in California has helped me obtain a different view of life•The two high schools I went to have had the biggest influence since I'm still learning lessons I need in life•In my community pressures to do drugs, alcohol, and to have sex is really high but I managed to be above the influence
