My family and I raised my nephew in our house from birth up until he was 8 months. During this time, I changed his diapers, gave him baths, woke up in the middle of the night to feed him, played with him, and loved him more than I had ever loved anyone in my entire life. Along with that experience, I have babysat my cousins throughout my high school years. I have about 20 little cousins as of now, and my family continues to grow. I have been surrounded by little ones since as long as I can remember. As a college athlete, we did a lot of community service, which involved being around kids, whether it be tutoring them, reading to them, encouraging them, or playing with them. Also, in January, I volunteered at an elementary school and administered reading tests for EC kids. I am a sucker for kids. I love their energy, their sense of curiosity, and the amount of love they have for life.
