* Who is your personal hero and why?
"My personal heroes are my supportive parents. As the youngest of four daughters, I've watched my older siblings go off to college one after the other. My parents both work hard, long hours to allow my sisters and me to reach our goals in life. Despite multiple hardships, whether personal or financial, not once had they discouraged any of us as we each made our own decisions for the road ahead."
