I am from me.


I am from me. From Laura and Kurt, Paula too. I am from hard work, my family's ranch and bar. From rodeo, and FFA. From death that have changed my life. I'm from joys, the birth of my nieces. I am from success, even though it hasn't come easy. I am from a Catholic home, with Christian traditions. I am from the mud and ashes that have come together. From my youth, dancing with my Dad, freely as I go. From a family that was once broken, but was brought back together, with strength. I am from loud and rowdy family gatherings. From my siblings, Jessie, Kristy and Brittany. I am from a family that helps me along the way. From strength and aspirations for my future. I'm from my family's pride in me, pride in me and them. I am from the perseverance of a family, love that never ends. I am from me.
