• Mom
    • First and foremost, she is a great mom!
    • She values my opinions and encourages me to make well informed decisions.
    • She allows me to speak my mind.
    • Something I always love is how she supports me with out pressuring me -
      • She won't be disappointed one way or another in terms of my getting married or having children. She always says I have to be the only one to make those choices and to be in charge of my future - a stance she has always held in her own life.
      • She always gives me the tools to better my education and always promotes knowledge; She doesn't think of failure as a set back but rather an obstacle to be conquered.
    • She is smart, funny, generous, kind, and always willing to lend a hand.
  • Nany (Grandmother)
    • Again, strong, independent, knowledgeable woman.
    • So ambitious - she was always teaching herself something or keeping busy and doing new things. On the short list, she was an accomplished singer/musician, nurse, wife, mother, grandmother and an all around involved member of her community including her numerous volunteer jobs.
  • Kate Winslet
    • My hollywood idol
    • Talented beyond belief
    • Defies conformist attitudes about body image consistently, refusing to be photoshopped and being one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood.
  • My friends
    • They continue to amaze me with their compelling and eye-opening attitudes about everything, always forcing me to question myself and the world we live in; They always push me to be better at everything I do.
    • Funny and smart - always.
    • Encouraging but critical, in the best way.
