"I’m the oldest of seven kids; I’m 24, and my youngest sibling is four. I love having a big family. There’s never a dull moment - ever. Someone’s always doing something: participating in a sporting event, telling a story, or spilling something and you have to clean it up. There’s always something to do. Always. The hardest thing about such a big family is that there IS so much to do, and there’s never any privacy. I think the things I’ve learned most through all this are patience and love. Love them no matter what. They’re your family. And patience, especially with being the oldest. The little ones don’t know any better sometimes, so you have to be patient with them. It’s awesome to watch them grow and learn; it’s fascinating. I think having these experiences has helped me become a better youth minister. I’m in charge of 6th to 12th graders at church, and I love it."
