One of the major parts of my identity is my relationship with Christ. Over the past few years, I have grown spiritually resulting in a change in who I am. I attend the Compass Church in South Naperville and I have grown to love the community I am involved in. I am a volunteer, paid worker, and core member of my small group. Over the past year, I have met amazing people and have formed lifelong connections with fellow believers.
Danish Ornaments
Another aspect of my family culture is my Danish heritage, celebrated on my moms side of the family. Every year my family gets together to put up and make Danish ornaments for our Christmas tree. We have ornaments from my great great grandparents and newer ornaments from our current generation of family.
St. Patrick's Day
On my dad's side of the family, St. Patrick's Day is celebrated to represent our Irish heritage. Throughout the year, we get together often, celebrating with music and good food. My family loves Irish cheese, Irish bacon, and Irish cabbage.
