Hello! Well my name is Genesis and  I am 19 years old.  I grew up in California and Florida and am still living in Florida. I have an amazing family and they are the most important thing to me. I have an older sister, Shevon, who although we don't always see eye to eye, she has helped me become a stronger person. My parents have also helped me become who I am today. My mother is a very independent woman and strong in every way. My dad has given me an amazing example of what to look for in a husband and a father for my kids. Another huge influence in my life was my grandmother. She passed away in Feb. 2006. She is looking over me every day and I can't wait to meet her again. My grandfather is the prime example of strength. He went through so much and still came out on the other side. He married a wonderful woman and I am proud to call her my grandma. A lot of my family is still in California and I miss them everyday.  They have molded me into the woman I am and I couldn't get through many of my trials without them.
