Everyone in my family has an amazing smile. My mom’s is like a warm sunny day, always welcoming and friendly. Full of joy and laughter making it impossible to not smile back. My dad’s is silly and fun, always telling jokes. Anna, the oldest sister, has a smile of comfort. Like the way the house smells after baking cookies. Grace, the youngest sister, has a fiery smile. A smile that’s rambunctious but also lazy.

Growing up with happy, happy smiles all around me. Some bursting with energy and excitement, and others being calm and affectionate. All being there when things feel like a rollercoaster. They have created a warm loving environment with a smile to support me in every way.
