• God, for giving me such a wonderful opportunity to live. To experience a life of both ups and downs, for the ability to figure out who I am and to learn from my mistakes and become a person I can be proud of (even if I'm far from it now).
• My mom, for giving birth to me and sacrificing so much of her own life to make sure mine goes well. To the one person who pushes me to love myself more each day and for reminding me that she loves me no matter what flaws I have.
• My dad, for being the person who loves me so much that he's afraid of me being hurt by the outside world. For being hard on me while growing up to ensure I can be independent and then allowing me to walk on my own and encourage me to act on my own desires.
