* Who is your personal hero and why?

"My oldest sister, Kirsten. She grew up in a broken home, her dad left, and she struggled with feelings of rejection, marrying at 16 and divorcing soon after. Although her circumstances were hard, she showed me you can make the best of your life in spite of the past. She loves people and is determined to succeed. She put herself through college, graduating from Tulane University, and today she is a licensed real estate agent and is happily married with a family. Thinking of her, I realize I can do anything with my future."
