11. Your Family

Most supportive, caring, brilliant bunch of folks I know. We’re not super close to anyone outside our immediate circle in the US (parents, sister, uncle on my mom’s side, aunt & cousin), but those that are here are my everything. No words can articulate how highly I think of my family & how proud I am of them. They are the definition of the American Dream and inspire me every single day to be better than I am. The older I’ve gotten, and further away from home I’ve moved, the more I’ve come to appreciate their words of wisdom, their kindness and their dedication to providing the best they can for their children.
