When it's the Holiday season, everybody gets together and three large dining tables are required to fit everybody. Mallissia's family is also very diverse. She comes from Italian, Irish and Indian descent. She is very proud of this and feels as though she showcases her Irish side prominently. As large as her family is, there are no pets. Mallissia is allergic to cats and dogs aren't allowed, the reason for this being her mom doesn't care for dogs. Mallissia is grateful to her family for how she was raised. She is outspoken, kind, and hard working - and she is grateful to her family for raising her to be so. Her mom has always told her to always be humble, and she holds this saying with her always. She is appreciative to her family for instilling her with a drive to prove herself both personally and professionally.
Lastly, Mallissia has many diverse goals.
She plans on finishing school and becoming a counsellor. She hasn't decided what branch of counseling she wants to pursue, so long as she is able to help people. After counselling, Mallissia wants to obtain a degree in criminal justice. She loves watching the television show CSI and it has influenced her to want to work on the technological side. She chose criminal justice because a friend of hers was murdered and she had a large part in solving the crime with the police. Mallissia's third goal is to own a house before she is forty years old. This is because she would like to be financially stable in adulthood later in life. This also proves that she will be able to handle the responsibility of
