I am the sound of the last two feet of ten running down stairs.

I am the youngest of five kids, the last at the shot of college.

I am the daughter of two people who fell in and out of love all my life.

I am the waves whispering in your ears to keep swimming.

I am the push of the wind helping you decide where to go.

I am a leader and a guider for those who let me.

I am musical and melodic from my breathing to my sway.

I am gentle and as kind as I can be in a world that tends to knock down nice women like me.

I am a student. An avid learner.

I am a religious person. I am one who doesn't fear surrender but embraces it.

I am a mountain climber. From mountains like making it through personal disater to climbing to the heights of Angel's Landing.

I am the sound of pages flicking by in the dark of a night becuase the chapter is too enthralling to set down for sleep.

I am a lot of things in this life. But I have so much more to become. I will be a traveler. I will be a teacher. I will be a mom and a wife. I will serve my country and my community. I will be all these things, but for now I am Aubrianna.
