To my Mami. My Tia. My Abuela. My three mothers whom I love so much. Thank you for always being amazing examples to me. I have three strong women in my life whom I look up to in so many ways.

My mother has always been the epitome of class and handled every situation with grace. I hope to be half the mother she has been to me and my brothers.

My aunt has a personality similar to mine. It makes me happy to think that I could be like her someday. She is fun, outgoing, and selfless.

My Abuela is the ultimate homemaker. Her cooking is amazing and she has a way about her that makes everyone feel welcome. I hope I can learn to be as giving as her.

I am still young. Still molding myself as life throws twists and turns my way and learning who I am going to become, but I will never forget the strong women who helped to shape my values over the years.

These three have given me all the love and support in the world since I was a baby and I could not be more grateful for my fearless examples.

Throughout the years I have watched you all struggle and recover beautifully. I hope to learn these skills from you, as when hard times come I don't always deal with them as well as I should.

Although no one is perfect, you are all perfect to me.

Everything I could have asked for in a mother, an aunt, and a grandmother.

Thank you for always believing in me and reminding me that I am capable of anything I put my mind to.

Thank you for showing me the kind of woman I aspire to be.

Thank you for allowing me to learn from the best.
