Family is more than important to me, it is everything. It is my Mom, my Brother, me and my Step dad. My Mom recently got re-married last year. My brother is 3 years older than me and also wants to be a teacher, specifically, an elementary school teacher.
My family lives very close to one another. I've spent a lot of times with my cousins over the years, and they have had a major impact on the person I am today. I have 2 male cousins, both 21, and 4 girl cousins who range from 24-28
Finally, we have the puppy of the family, Mercedes. She's a boxer and we got her about 4 years ago (so she's probably not a puppy anymore :/), but it was one the best decisions we've ever made. I like to call her Cedes, and when I'm home from school she always tries to make her way into my bed to fall asleep.
