Family:
I have one brother, Tyson.  He is 22 and lives about 5 minutes away from me. We are real close, and he is important to me.  He is fun, a good listener, and caring.  (see picture at bottom of page.)

My mother, Terri, lives in Houston, Texas.  I visit her almost every summer or she takes a visit here in Missouri.

My father, Kirk, lives in a nursing home because of an automobile accident when I was six.  He is a great person that can make you laugh but also make you cry.  I don't know what I would do without him.

My grandmother, Pat, whom I've lived with since I was 12 is very important to me.  She's helped me out on building my life up and staying strong.  She is a very strong person herself.

Friends:
Ashley Jansen- My "bestest" friend.  She's been my friend since the day that we met when I moved here in my sixth grade year. She's funny, daring, understanding, and smart.  The best part is that we have never been in a real fight.  She is also a member of my class. (see picture at bottom.)

Stephanie Horrell- She is about 2 years older than me.  She is someone that I can talk about relationships with. She is very caring and is always smiling!  We just click because we are both hyper-active and we just understand each other.

I have many good friends: Danny, Courtney, Kyla, Holly, Jodi, Leslee, Beth, Laura, and a lot more are all my close friends as well as my classmates.
