Heather interviewed by Kelly.

By Kelly from Pocahontas Junior High in Arkansas

“The most important person in my life is my dad. All through my childhood, he has been there for me. From teaching me how to cook to wiping the tears off my face when I needed him the most. I grew up with 2 biological siblings, 3 step sisters, 2 half sisters, and 1 half brother. Considering I have so much family I am forever going to be grateful that I had such an amazing supportive father to raise me. On my best and worst days he was always there.”
