What’s one thing about you that defines you (non-professional)?

Probably, the thing that defines me the most is I want to be a role model for my nieces and nephews. I want them to know you can do anything you want in life, where you came from doesn't define you... no one is perfect, and that we can all achieve our goals with a little support.
