Everything that I am is because of three things: my family, my friends and dolphins. My family is what made me. My mom and dad are the most supportive parents I could have asked for, always instilling in me that I could be whatever I wanted to be. My older brother, as annoying as he can be, has always motivated and encouraged me to be better and to surprise people. My friends are what ground me. They always know how to take me out of my little world. If not, I probably wouldn't even know what Instagram, One Direction or twerking is. Dolphins are what inspire me. Jacque Cousteau said, "The happiness of...the dolphin is to exist. For man it is to know that and to wonder at it." The care-free, the want-free attitude of the dolphin is how I aspire to live my life. With so many stresses and responsibilities it's so easy to forget how beautiful and simple life could be, and dolphins help remind me that sometimes you just have to kick back, relax and enjoy life.
