Introducing Myself.

Hello, my name is Eden Rachel Vidal, I am 18 years old, and I am in my first year of college. I was born in Plantation Florida on September 27, 1992 and was raised in Hollywood and Pembroke Pines. There are 4 people in my family or maybe I should say 5 as my yorkie, Duke, certainly acts like a family member. I have an older sister named Ella Dae who is in her senior year at UCF. She is my inspiration and I have always looked up to her and aspire to be like her. I feel my family is unique; my mother was born in Holland and my father was born in Israel. My mother and father got divorced when I was 1 year old and I continued to live with my mother and sister. When I was around 5 years old my father moved back to Israel. He became very ill and wanted to be back with his family. My mother met my stepdad, Steve, a year after my parents divorced. When I was around 8 years old my father passed away from lung and bone cancer, I was devastated. I still sometimes struggle with what has happened with my dad but my family has always been there to support me. I am a very energetic and outgoing person and live my life to the fullest. I love my family and they are a very important part in my life. To give you an idea, my mother and I talk every day. I went to Charles W. Flanagan High School where I played 4 years of volleyball. I was the captain of my volleyball team for 2 years along with being Vice President for my junior and senior year. High school and volleyball were something I was really into and I lived my life around it. I love sports and being athletic and active, it’s my personality. My goal in life is to strive to always be happy and be myself no matter what. I know I’m like a bubble ready to burst and I do not apologize for it. I enjoy making new friends and I love who I am and I’m excited to see who I will end up becoming.
