My dash

My life so far has been a wonderful one. I've always been surrounded by kind, loving people who are encouragement to continue my life as it has been the past nineteen years-great. It is hard to name just one person who would be the greatest influence in my dash, but if i had to pick it would most definitly be my parents. I am an only child, so therefore my parents are and always have been my best friend in a sense. When i was younger despite the fact that i had many friends in my neighborhood, most of the time I would prefer to be with my parents. It's not that i lived a sheltered life or was antisocial i just always had such a great time with my parents when we went spent time together. From amusement parks, fairs, ice skating, and even snow tubing in the winter. We did everything together. My mother and father were the most fun-loving people i knew. They always made sure i was satisfied, while still encouraging and supporting me. Don't get me wrong though when it came to school and work, they were very strict. Like every parents school came first before fun, but even school never seemed to bother me much. This may have been because my mom almost made it fun for me, helping me study for every test by coming up with some little catchy phrase to remember. When it was time to do a project mine was always the best-thanks to her. Highschool came and went, and before i knew it i was here at Penn State-Berks. The day i moved in and said goodbye to my parents was surreal in a way because it seemed too soon. I finally realized that it was time to move on to better myself and continue to make my parents proud, just as they have made me my entire life.
