By Gracie S. from Williamson High School in Pennsylvania

"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."

"I think I showed courage when my husband died and I didn't fall apart, and instead I just decided, you know, life was still worth living. So, I figured I could also do everything myself, which I've pretty much have and I'm still alive and kicking."
