Of all words that could be used to describe who I am, there is one that surpasses all the others in its ability to do so. It evokes almost every response, encompassing everything from great joy , to utter disgust. That word is not that I am a STUDENT of Iowa State University, or that I am studying in MECHANICAL engineering because my love for calculus is so great. It is not that I am an ARTIST , testing the limits of lines' and colors' abilities to imitate emotion, or that I ride HORSES simply for the joy of feeling them move beneath me. It is not even that I am the SISTER of three wonderful human beings, or the DAUGHTER of the two greatest parents I know. Of all the words that could be used to describe who I am, the one that surpasses them all is the word CHRISTIAN. No matter the response it evokes, I am forever a child of the I AM.
