This shapes who I am because my family comes from a very religious background and we are still really religious. If you have ever been to my house, we have a lot of pictures of Jesus and we obviously go to church every Sunday. All of the girls in my house have a purity ring and although it may be hard for some to stay pure, always know that God forgives. No matter what happens, He will always be there for you.
This shapes who I am because literally almost everyone in my family has been in the military or is currently serving. Yes, girls too. This means more to me then you will ever know. Without the military protecting us everyday, we would not be the nation we are today.
This shapes who I am because this is where I was born (Springfield, IL) which is also the capital of IL. My sisters were also born here. I was raised here and then I moved to Downers Grove, IL when I was five years old. Later, I moved to Woodridge, IL when I was 12.
This shapes who I am because my mom is 50% Italian and my dad is also 50% Irish. My grandparents (on my dad's side) were born and raised in Ireland. My other grandparents (on my mom's side) were also born and raised in Italy. My moms parents last name was Cappellettii. My family and I have pasta almost every night. I could honestly never get enough of pasta.
This shapes who I am because everyone in my family has at least one thing in their life relating to music. For me, I play piano and guitar. I love all kinds of music because if I am stressed, sad, or anything like that I just take out my guitar and play. It gets my mind off of everything because I’m not thinking about my problems and all I’m thinking about is playing. It might sound stupid, but it is good therapy. You should try it.
