Description: Personal statement: "My family to me means love, understanding, togetherness, patience, and forgiveness. We help each other continuously, even when we get on each other’s nerves, but we wouldn’t have it any other way, why? Because we understand the values of being a family. Even after they are no longer with us in this life we still know that they will never be forgotten, why? Because the legacy that they left behind is what pushes us to keep moving forward. We continue to love one another in good times as well as the bad times, but no matter what we stand together, how? By being strong in our beliefs. We are believers and followers of the Lord because we allow God to be in the center of our lives. We are born leaders, we are artists, we are scientists, we are teachers and volunteers. This is my family and we are strong." Nathaniel Reid is a junior majoring in Animation in the School of Art and Design.
