My Heart

What is in my heart? Who holds my heart? What has shaped me into who I am today? Well I’m going to try to find the answers to these questions. My family, faith, and friends have helped shape me into who I am today.

I am Kelsey Renee Hansen, I am a senior at Aurora High School, I am eighteen, and I plan on attending Northeastern Junior College in Sterling, Colorado to get my degree in accounting and business administration.  I work at Hy-Vee, and in the summer I detassel.  But these are just little things that make me who I am.

Well let’s start from the beginning of how I got to be me and what has caused me to make these decisions I have made. My parents have shaped me into who I am as a person my dad is an over the road truck driver and my mom works in the office of a trucking company so I guess you could say I was born living and breathing trucks. I was an only child, only grandchild for nine years, and then my parents were like surprise you are going to be a big sister! To say the least becoming a big sister at ten kind of turns the life you know upside down to say the least. I spent much of the nine months my mom was pregnant just me and her at home, I can’t even tell you how many times she came home said she was going to rest for a few minutes then 4 hours later come out and be like jeeze I didn’t mean to sleep that long. Then she would ask if I had, had supper and I would usually say yes cause I fixed something for myself, but I would not trade those nine months of a mood, tired, and grumpy mom for anything in this world.

The day Kolton Allen Hansen was born will be a day that lives in my mind forever; I will never forget that nine pound black haired little boy who changed who I was. Who is now a seven year old blonde who some days I could hang by an string and duck tape his mouth shut, but on those days I think about the days he wants to cuddle with his sissy and nobody else, that like monster has changed me so much he is the reason I am as patient as I am, which is very little sometimes, but I would not give up anything for him he has changed me in ways I can’t not even being to explain. 

I am a very down to earth person I lived in a small town in northeast Colorado tell I was almost eleven, then I moved to Phillips, Nebraska. I would say that move changed me a lot and helped shape me cause there are so many people I have met here that have changed me, moving here also made me get out of my comfort zone and meet new people.

Brooke and Robert two of the most important people in my life that are not blood family but might as well be,  part of it. Brooke and I have been friends since my freshman year, we did not become that close tell the end of my sophomore year, and today I could not live without her, she is my best friend but also my sister. We are going thru some challenges right now because we both have so much going on in our lives and neither one of us likes change but things are changing in our live so we are both trying to figure out where the other fits into this changing life. Robert where to start I have know him most of my life but we just started dating this summer. I have a promise ring on my finger from him cause we both know that we want to wait awhile to get married tell I can finish all my schooling, he cares so much and I don’t know what I would ever do without him he is the one that keeps me calm. We have a long distance relationship he lives in northeast Colorado and I am here in Nebraska, it is hard at times but we both try to see each other as much as possible. These two hold a very large place in my heart that they will never leave.

Well I guess that is my heart I don’t know if I got everything in there that has made me into the person I am today but I think these things have played a huge part in who I am as a person today.
