I am a regular volunteer at Habitat for Humanity. I love not only building houses but meeting the people who will be living under a roof we made together. Though I am not good enough to make a career out of it, I work alongside trusted contractors who make sure to rebuild any of my mistakes. I am learning more and more and am grateful for the opportunity to help out my community in any way that I can. Winter months are hard in the Midwest, and it is good to see families warm in their own homes during January and February's chilling winds.

I love music and kids always seem to love me. It just made sense after a while to start teaching music! I really like to take my time with each student and learn songs to teach that they pick out personally so they can be as excited as I am when music lesson time is here. Because the relationship I take care in building between the children and music takes a lot of time and focus for each student, it's not viable for a career, but that doesn't stop me from loving it enough to continue teaching in my free time. 

I love my family. Family is at the center of everything I do. The career I want to build, the way I interact with others, and the network of friends I am building along the way. Everything is for my family and growing my family. People are at the center of my heart and that isn't limited by blood relations. My big sister is unrelated by blood, but our bond holds just as strong. I look for highly moral people with big hearts everywhere to add to who I consider family. If someone becomes my family, that means they are a part of my heart forever and their safety and happiness are my priority
