"Family isn't always blood. It's the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what." - Unknown
Family is only one word. But it has so many meanings. My family members aren't only the ones that are related to me. I consider my relatives,friends, community members, church congregation, my fellow I'm Determined leaders, and the YLF alumni a part of who I call family. The definition of family doesn't have to only include your parents and siblings. The term family is used way beyond it's original meaning. Sometimes you have to make your definition of family. Find the people that stand by you no matter what, the people that love you for you, those are the people that are your family members. Don't let the word family define who supports you.
