my best friend, Lucy and the winter weather.

My family…
is crazy supportive, I cant believe how much they believe in me.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…

I’m inspired by…
people who can always see the bright side, even when things look really bad.
The one person who motivates me is…
my big sister, Emma; my hero. I don’t tell her enough how much I love her and how proud I am of her…(note to self).
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
easy! Childhood cancer research, and its unfairly low funding. Just don’t get me started. It’s personal to me.
The perfect day would be…
sleeping in, grabbing breakfast, and wandering aimlessly around the streets of NYC.

Always…
say please and thank you.
