There are many different groups in my life that help define who I am: family, friends, the Catholic Church, Greeks and Germans. The most important is family. I am a middle child, a daughter and a sister. My family is very close - we try to eat dinner together as much as possible and are always talking to each other. My older sister is my best friend, and I am a role-model for my younger brother. Within my friends, I am the advice-giver and the shoulder to cry on. I really am there for my friends and they all know that they can call me whenever they need to and I will be there for them. In the Catholic Church, I am a worshipper, a disciple. Being catholic plays a huge role in my life; I rarely go a few hours without thinking of my religion. When I have decisions to make, I think about my religion. It is a constant presence in my life. Lastly, my heritage-groups. Being half Greek, half German has shaped my life greatly. Both sides of my family are very heritage-oriented and have made sure that I know where I come from. I can understand some of both languages, and I eat ethnic food all the time. Even my name is from my heritages: Kassandra is Greek and Hauptmann is (very obviously) German.
Needless to say, all of these groups that I am a part of have helped make me into who I am today in their own unique ways. And I wouldn't have it anyway else.

That's awesome that your family eats dinner together so often. My family tries to do that, but..we're not always very succesful in that area. And your a role-model to your brother! very cool. My sister says I'm a role-model to her, but she's older, and I'm not sure why she says that. Oh! and that's fun that you can understand some greek and german, I wanna hear it!
Thats really cool that religion is a big part in your life. I need to start making time for church because i want to keep my faith in my life like you. Your family seems really cool. I wish i ate dinner with my family, but we are all running around with different things to go to. I have an older sister and a younger brother too.
