I'd like to call this page Me, Myself and I...only because it's a little ironic. I'll tell you why, it's ironic because I'm the last child of 7 children. Big family right? Well imagine how much bigger it must have felt growing up in children with 7 children, 5 girls and 2 boys, all sharing one bathroom, one phone, one TV and one house. It was an interesting, tough and financially draining upbringing but I wouldn't have it any other way and it was most definitely a life changing experience, it made me who I am today. The help and the good will and just the love that was shown to my family and all the support we received I've always been so thankful for. This is why I knew I had to give back which included the current internship I'm in right now with the Head Start program and my final chapter with Americorp and Stony Brook Social Welfare and the beginning chapter of my life.
