What does family mean to me? My family has to be one of the most important things in my life. When I say family, I don't just mean my mom and dad and cousins, but I mean all of my amazing friends from school, and the teachers that I have grown close to in my past 8 years at AMBS. When I am not with my family, I am either thinking about them, or doing things for them. I love everybody in my life because each and every one of them brings as special quality to our relationship. All of them fit together like puzzle pieces and make a colorful picture that is diverse and beautiful. I think that the first time I realized how important family was to me happened when I was just 9 years old. I had broken my foot before the incident, but I was too young to realize how important family is when you are in need. I was skiing in Vermont when I was hit from behind, fell, and broke my knee. I was more in shock than anything, but afterwards, at home later that week, I think it finally hit me, I couldn't do much by myself anymore. My friends and family were great, helping me with my books and wheelchair. Honestly, I don't know where I would be without all of the help and support that I have received through the breaks and sprains that I seem to get yearly. I guess that what I am trying to say is that you don't realize how important family is until you need them. I am lucky enough to have caring and helpful people in my life, and I am so grateful for that, especially since I seem to need help pretty often.
