I am Samantha Jeanne Benson! I was welcomed into this world on May 2, 1990.I assume that it was a great day, I do not happen to remember it. I have an amazing family, and twin sisters who I adore. They are a year older than I, and have always been my role models. When we were younger we were inseparable. We quickly learned the power of friendship, and what love really means. Most of who I am and why I am the way I am is because of my family. Not only do i have great sisters but numerous cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents who have taught me to be the free spirit that I am. They were the ones who never discouraged me as a child when I was the one who wanted to draw and imagine instead of playing kickball. When high school came around I started to learn who I really was or so I thought. I took classes that interested me especially AP Art, with the craziest person you would ever meet as a teacher. I learned how creative I could be, and I learned to take advantage of new experiences, and be brave. What did I have to lose? The most important trait I gained from high school was to be who you want to be. I used to be a shy and very "home-y" kid. I slowly evolved into a loud, at times obnoxiously loud, outgoing, funny person. I am not Dane Cook, but every once in a while I hear that I am a funny person.
With my new found personality and outlook on life I start my freshman year, at Molloy College. I have many dreams for myself and I know every single one will come true. It may take me a while but I will do it. What I did not mention was although I was the quiet child, I never gave up and always strived to get what I wanted. That characteristic I learned from my parents who would do anything for my sisters and I. I also come from a caring and loving family. This helped me to decide what I would do for the rest of my life, become a nurse. Although I am not the best in math or the best in science. I will do all that I can to be the best nurse i can be and even better. I also have this dream that one day I will live in the city with my puppy, and white range rover. But before the Range Rover, puppy or loft across from Central Park, I want to make a difference in people's lives. I will treat all my patients with the most respect and do everything I can and more to make them feel better. I hope one day that I will have more patience with myself and stop being so critical. To end this rant of my life I am going to leave one of my favorite quotes. "All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." That was said by Walt Disney. I firmly believe that any dream can come true. Just look how big Mickey Mouse turned out...
