This is a photo of my parent's wedding on April 3, 1982 in Los Angeles, California. I included this picture because this is where my whole family began. I depend on my parents for everything I do. They are always there for me and would do anything to see me succeed – they have helped me become the person I am today. I love my parents very much and I am very happy that they got married and created such a wonderful family.

This photo is my extended family on my mom’s side of the family in Palm Springs around 10 years ago. For many years, we used to spend a couple days in a resort in Palm Springs for Thanksgiving. This picture is special because not only does it have my immediate family, but it includes my grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins who mean a lot to my life. We are all very close and love spending time together around the Holidays. We always have fun hanging out and playing games.

This is another picture of my extended family but on my dad’s side of the family. We all gathered for my sister’s Bat Mitzvah 9 years ago at Arden Hills. I chose this picture because many out-of-towners like my aunts and uncles came to celebrate the big event with my sister and our immediate family. We are a very loving family who joke all the time and would do anything for one another. Also, my Grandma Roz looks very happy in this picture and it brings back my great memories of her. She was always so proud of her family.

This is a great picture of my mother, Susan, my grandmother, Bobbe, and my great-grandmother, Ann. At the time, my mother was 22 years old at her wedding shower in Los Angeles. I like this picture a lot because it depicts three generations of my family and they all look very happy to be together.

This wonderful picture includes my dad, Joel, his three brothers, and my grandfather, Ted. It was taken at my Uncle Jon's wedding many years ago. I have always liked this picture because my Dad, far right, looks very similar to my brother Adam. To be honest, it always creeps me out when I look very close. I also enjoy seeing pictures of my grandfather whom I never had the privilege of meeting.
