I was lucky to have a family full of extraordinary, caring and loving people. Even though there are many of us, we all manage to have our own special bonds. Every person in my family has been an inspiration to me in one way or another. Over the years, there was never a time when they didn't show me what it means to be loved, to be rich with a family and that I can do anything I want. However, there are five people that I truly admired and idolized the most: my mother, my sister, my cousin Kim, my aunt Mary, and my aunt Ann. One person I will always look up to is my mother. There was never a time when I needed something and my mother wasn't there. She taught me a lot in life, such as being independent, treating people with respect, always following my dreams and working hard for the things I want. Throughout my life, my mother has always set the best example for me. Whether it's his hard work, his love, or his incredible sense of humor and his way of making things better. She is not only my mother, but also a helping hand, my light in the dark, my rock and my best friend. Even in difficult times, my mother always remained strong and went through it all with a smile on her face. She truly is the backbone of my family. She never hesitated to love me unconditionally and support me in everything. One day, when I become a mother, I hope I will be as good as her. My sister Niki is another person I have always idolized. Growing up, my sister was always there. Whether it was dressing my Barbie dolls on Christmas morning or watching movies on the couch on a rainy afternoon, she was always there to watch me grow. However, one thing that many could not see with their own eyes was... middle of paper......who to talk to because she is very understanding and comforting. She is always looking for a way to make you smile. Besides having a heart of gold, she is also the strongest person I know. She beat cancer and fought other things in her life as well, but she never seemed weak to me. Always smiling and making the best of every situation, Aunt Ann always did her best for me and the rest of our family, even when she was facing her own challenges. I am lucky to have such a strong and loving woman in my life who I truly admire. I am beyond grateful for my family, but I am especially lucky to have the five I admire the most. It is thanks to them that I am what I am today. They all taught me something that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I couldn't dream of better role models and, above all, a better family..
