. My thought for today is who do I have to thank for where I have come in my life.. the dance coach who was with me every set of the way to a state championship? The choir director who gave me the courage to stand in the spotlight? The friend who stuck by my side no matter what? The neighbor who showed me by example how not to end up in life? The roommate who showed the dangers of apathy? All good people with good lessons. But the real, true, unmovable pillars in my life are the four other members of my family. These are pillars without which I could not stand. How many would agree with that statement? How many even want to take the risk of a family? Difficult questions without many answers. I am an advocate of families. Throughout this semester I will be placing thoughts regarding families, relationships, experiences, and religious views
