Aunt Becca


Name: Aunt Becca

Current career: Full-time student

Future career: Speech Language Pathologist

Favorite food: I don't know if I can say I have one favorite, but I do love anything that involves pasta and all forms of the beloved potato. Despite my being an adult, I also love pizza. Always a good choice.

Hobbies: Running, singing, playing the piano, hiking, trying new things. I love any kind of sport, but I am currently very into volleyball, racquetball, and pickle ball.

Favorite vacation: All of our vacations have been so fun. Of course, spending time together is the best part. I do have a few favorite vacations that top the list. 
1-Hawaii-It was just so beautiful and peaceful there. There were so many natural wonders to see. Also, the Polynesian Cultural Center was one of the most fun places we have ever visited. We learned and saw so much! I would love to go back there some day. 
2-Washington D.C.-My interest in D.C. was sparked when I was just 8 years old. We went on a day trip as part of another vacation. I wanted so badly to go back, and I have been lucky enough to go twice since then. I just learning about our nation's history and seeing the beautiful monuments where history has been made. 
3-I have to included my beautiful Mexico! Going to Mexico was such a wonderful experience. Seeing my old friends and eating delicious food...what could be better? I also have to mention that being able to climb on the Mayan ruins that are centuries old was a wonderful experience. They built wonders with their hands!

A few sentences about myself: I am going to college in Utah, my home state. I love everything about college, including the fact that it challenges me. I love working hard, finding new adventures, and playing anything outside. Long-distance running is something I have done since I was 14 years old, and it has taught me a lot of lessons. More important than any of that, though, is my love for my family and God. I really believe that family is forever and that God loves all of his children here on earth. He wants the best for all of us. 

Words about our family: Our family is very family-oriented. We put each other first. We support each other on our separate endeavors, and we like trying new things together. We believe in God,  We believe that He believes in our family and our ability to help each other through hard things. I love our family!

Words to future Knowles baby: Being a Knowles means having a whole army of people to love you and care for you and be happy for you. Grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins are all close friends and we support each other. Baby, having my brother and sister-in-law would mean having parents who are willing to sacrifice to be the best parents possible. They have dreams, plans, and aspirations, but the biggest part of those plans is having YOU in their lives!
