My family and friends are my strength. My family consists of my mom, dad, and younger brother. My mom is a painter, my dad a pharmaceutical consultant. My brother is an amazing musician and one of my best friend. Another of my best friends is Erin. Erin inspires me every day to cope with whatever personal issues arise and make the most of them, while doing my best to better the lives of others.
The most meaningful place in my life is Lawler's Kenpo Karate studio in my hometown of Kennett Square. It is here that I learned that "the most important thing is how you see yourself." I try to live my life every day with this in mind.
I have two favorite traditions: one is a family tradition, the other a karate school tradition. My favorite family tradition is the Italian tradition of The Feast of the Seven Fish, celebrated on Christmas Eve. My entire extended family gathers together and we eat and drink the night away. It is a wonderful celebration of family and Christmas, as well as traditional Italian values. My other favorite tradition is the annual picnic for all the students and staff at Lawler's Kenpo Karate, held at Anson B. Nixon Park in Kennett Square. We play pickup games of various sports, socialize, snipe each other with water guns, and eat delicious hot dogs and hamburgers made by our wonderful head instructor. Everyone always has a fantastic time. The picnic is a great way to relax and celebrate our accomplishments.
