We ate squid meat in the Bahamas. We ziplined uncomfortably high above the ground. We rode Kingda Ka at Six Flags. We're adventurers. From the second I was born I had a group of best friends by my side, my family friends who are more like siblings. After 17 years of our adventures of trying new things, I've learned to embrace the unknown. With their support, I was able to become more outgoing knowing they always had my back allowed me to take the first few bold leaps towards confidence.
