One of the most important parts of my life is my family. I love them all a lot and I feel so blessed to part of it. My dad is the professor of anatomy here at UCD and a pediatrician. My mom says at home and we take in foster children. I have an older sister who I am very close to. We both go to UCD and have even gotten to take a few classes together. She runs marathons, teaches Pilates and is very involved in Athletes in Actions. My 16 year is brother is also great. He is the top athlete of the family. He is on the high school soccer team we are all hoping that he will have the chance to play for UCD in the future. I have two even younger brothers that I adore. Michael is 6 and he is adopted. He is always happy and so much fun to be around. He is following Ryan in his love for sports. Ethan is 8 and in foster care. He has been through much hardship, yet he is tough and perseveres. I believe that family is one of the most important things in life and everyone deserves to be loved and accepted. It breaks my heart that there are children alone and helpless. It is our duty to care for those who cannot care for themselves. However, we must not only provide the necessities for love, but true love and care. I hope to have to opportunity to care for foster kids throughout my life.
