My family has always been my biggest support system. It’s like I can wake up tomorrow and tell them I want to be a\u00a0clown and they would back me up 100%. When it comes to my future I don’t think I’ve ever even heard them say the word “can’t.” It’s amazing being apart of a family like this. Sometimes it’s a lot of pressure knowing that they expect me to do so many great things in my future but they’re the reason I work so hard. :’)<\/p>\n
When I told my parents I wanted to do the Precollege Program, of course they were thrilled but they weren’t surprised. I’m\u00a0constantly\u00a0taking extra classes, volunteering, \u00a0joining clubs and doing other random activities so I think they’re just used to it. I’m just obsessed with taking advantage of\u00a0every opportunity that comes my way. \u00a0My mom loves hearing about\u00a0my experience\u00a0at FIT and I love showing her my projects and floor plans. We talk about how I’m going to redesign our house when I have my degree in interior design. She also reads my blog every week, HI MOM! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0The\u00a0only thing\u00a0she doesn’t like\u00a0is the mess that FIT has brought into our living room. Scraps of paper, magazines, fabrics, paint samples, glue, color pencils,\u00a0rulers\/scales and a crazy amount of eraser shavings\u00a0are just a few things that my parents come\u00a0home to.\u00a0\u00a0I’m sure they will\u00a0get used to it!<\/p>\n
It makes me really happy that I have a family who supports me so much. I know that they will continue to do so through college and my journey after I graduate. My family plays a big role in my life and having them by my side makes life a lot easier. <3<\/p>\n
