"Family is very important to me because I have always been close to my family. Probably one of my best friends are family. I  firmly believe in the family unit whether traditional  or non tradition. I am really close to my parents and 3 sisters. My own daughter has cousins she treats like her own siblings. No matter what we are always around family whether by blood or not."

What is Democracy?

For this post I am using my rings to represent the freedom of self-expression. I use these rings to add emphasis to my hands and to express myself. This also helps to keep my individuality. Freedom of expression is very important to me and my life.
