Kaitlyn - What defines me?

 I have a loving family that contributes to who I am today. My four younger sisters can make me go crazy, but they have shown me over the years that you can find fun in just about anything. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago, her illness made me realize that life should not be taken for granted.  My friends are a part of who I am. We are outgoing, crazy, and fun. I am a determined person in everything that I do. I'd like to thank that to horseback riding. I had to do things on my own at a young age. I was an eight year old rider competing against adults in fifty mile races. I was always trying to prove myself to those older riders, showing them that I was just as good as they were. With all that being said, there is not one exact thing that defines me. My hobbies, friends, and family have all contributed to who I am today.
