Who Am I?

To keep it basic, 22 blonde waitress/student living in NYC and loving every moment.  Everything I have done in the past has built up to who I am as a person today.  My father owns a restaurant in the west village in manhattan where I have grown up and learned everything I know about the restaurant business. Growing up in that business is not easy but I have learned a lot of my common sense by being in that work environment.  You tend to have to grow up fast when living in a fast paced fast moving environment.  Living in NYC everything is changing all the time, the same way everyone is changing all the time so I'm learning more about myself and about my surroundings because it's never the same for very long.  I wouldn't ask for it any other way.

I am taking classes in human services now, I don't know where that is going to leave me off when I graduate but I know with my personality and common sense I want to be able to learn proper techniques to helping someone else with problems and difficulties in their lives by making them realize the only way that is going to happen is if they learn to help themselves and not have to rely on others.  There is something about watching someone overcome an issue or difficulty and when they understand it makes you feel good and you know they feel good because they did it themselves.  We can't always rely on others to do things for us, its what makes up individual and unique as human beings.

I want to say my biggest influences are my family and my friends.    I have an incredible family and I have learned so much from them over my entire life but with all of the problems and difficult situations, I have had a chance to see how my family has approached the problem and seen how I would approach it differently.  My parents always gave me the opportunity to be my own personal and would offer guidance but give me the chance to pick my friends and choose what I do with my life.  It has gotten me into some trouble and I had to learn a lot of things the hard way at a very young age but I can say that I am such a strong person and feel I could encounter anything because of it.
