I am an only child and one of five grandchildren on my mom’s side of the family. We are a close family, who gets together often for dinners and celebrations, because fortunately we live near each other. I am a Senior at East Islip High School and plan to attend college in the Fall. My parents have been very involved in my Scouting career. My Dad and I have enjoyed many camping trips in Troop 205 together. My Mom was my Den Leader and then a Committee member in Troop 205. I do not believe I would have achieved all that I have without their love and support.
