Why I Have An Amazing Family
Charlotte Abeyta Gochenour

My family is super important to me. They are amazing people that are completely selfless. All I can say is that I am so blessed to have such an amazing family.

Mom. She is one of my heroes. She does everything for everyone and she thinks of herself last. I have seen her many times where she is sitting at home and her phone rings multiple times and she answers questions about her job. I've gone to work with her many times and her phone is constantly ringing. At work and at home she does everything she can and then some. Even when I am away at school, she still manages to still make my day. She calls me every single day and she always checks to make sure I am okay. I wouldn’t be where I am today without my mom and dad.

Dad. I am and always have been a daddy’s girl. Whenever I need something, my dad will do it. He doesn’t do that for just me, he will help anyone because he is a selfless person. One of my brother's friends car broke down the day before Thanksgiving their freshman year of college, no one was able to get off work, my dad got in the car and drove twelve hours to pick up my brother and his friends in order for them to come back to spend Thanksgiving with their family. My dad also has a very kind heart, during one September he went down and cleaned out the gutters for one of our elderly neighbors. To this day he still mows their lawn and cleans out their gutters. My dad is an amazing man/

My older brother. I have an older brother who is only two years older than me. I have gone to two schools with him. He is very a good brother. I have worked with him for many years and I have enjoyed every second of it. My brother is a smart guy and he will continue to do amazing things. My brother has come up out of his way to get me in order for my to come home for winter break and for Easter break. I am very blessed to have my brother, I can confidently say that he is one of my best friends. He loves his school, his friends, and he mostly loves his family.

Younger sister. The last important person in my family is my little sister, Selena. I have gone through my school years knowing she was always one year behind me. She is always there for me and she has always will be, there are times when I was at school and having a rough day and she just talks to me, telling me to be strong and that I will be home soon. I am completely blessed to have her as a sister. She will do amazing things in college and outside of college and I could not be more proud of her.

I am very blessed to have such an amazing family and I would not be where I am to this day without each and every one of them.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
