My parents and my grandmother inspire me every day and, every day, in my work and personal life.

My parents were very firm about me always getting my homework done.

My parents have been incredibly supportive from perhaps the first real independent decision I made to become a vegetarian at 11, which was certainly not consistent with their diet at the time.

I hope to make a positive, productive contribution, as cheesy as that may sound.

It is frustrating, because who wants to grow up and follow their parents?

I'm a big believer in listening to my body's cravings.
