Five People I Look Up To

I have been so blessed to have many great role models in my life. This was a hard list to narrow down because there are a lot of people I could talk about. Don't be offended if you're not on the list. I still look up to you!

1. Mama Crook - My mama is the strongest woman I know. For those of you who don't know, she has chronic headaches. She has since she was 20. I've never known her to not have a headache. When I was 10, she had brain surgery to remove a tumor. After that, her migraines went down, but her daily headaches remained. When I was 14, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She went through chemo and radiation. Through all of this, she has stayed a strong, active member of the Church. She never questioned why any of these things were happening to her. Whenever I have a problem in life, I always think about her courage and it helps me through it. 
2. Papa Crook - My pops has always been there for me. Most of the time he yells at me to get back to the yard work he makes me do, but I know that when I have a question, he always has an answer. Sometimes that answer is "I don't know." But he always answers. He even tries to help me with some of my homework. I really like the way he treats my mama. It helps me know what I want in a husband. 
3. Baby Brother - My little brother Alec is one of my best friends. When all of my other friends flake on me, he is always there. He has some really great advice, and he always offers to beat up anyone that hurts me. It's wonderful! I also like when we go places and people think we are dating. He hates it. But you didn't really need to know that.
4. Amy Wilde - Amy was my YW leader for a few years. The lessons she taught were always my favorite! She really cared about each of the girls and did stuff with them outside of church. We went to a Ryan Shupe & the Rubberband concert. She is such a great mom and I really love that she is a working mom. She also has great fashion sense!
5. Mo - My cousin Monique is one of my best friends. She is the reason that I've decided that I want to serve a mission. She is so cool and she always makes me feel happy! I love her so much!!
