My Sister... My Role Model

If I could choose one role model, I would choose my older sister, Farrah. My sister is my like my best friend. She has always been loyal, respectful, truthful, caring, and my supporter. Her sincerity has truly rubbed off on my character, and I feel that this is important because people like to be treated genuinely. I can always confide in my sister, as she can confide in me. We have built this form of trust, which only makes me stronger and more loyal to her, and others. Even though she is approximately 1,025.40 miles away (16 hours), we still have a way of communicating to let one another know that we are always here for each other. This is what simply makes us sisters.

I have always followed in my sisters footsteps, and so far, she has led me well. I am my own person, but I feel that my sister has made great decisions in her life that have affected me as an individual and have helped me to make the right decisions also. We enjoy a lot of the same hobbies, activities, and we are alike in many ways, but we have our differences as well. This is what keeps our relationship so interesting! Farrah attended Morehead State, as I do, she is a Chi Omega, as I am, she lived in Nunn Hall her first two years, as I did, and joined the Morehead State Dance Team, as I am a three year member. We will have completely different careers when I graduate in May because I want to become a Pharmaceutical Sales Representative, and Farrah is an attorney for a large firm in West Palm Beach, FL. She has always encouraged me to do whatever I want to do in life, but to be intelligent of my decisions, and always stay on top. She has inspired me to finish college in the eight semesters that I have, but enjoy college life to its fullest. Farrah graduated at the age of 21, married the love of her life, Kelly, and attended Law School at Nova Southeastern shortly after, in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. By the age of 24, she had already graduated law school and became Farrah-Fugett-Mullen, Attorney At Law. I am so proud of her. I hope that I can make her as proud of me, as I am of her.

Whether it is her sisterly love, listening ear, support and guidance, or her welcoming open arms to have me come live with her and Kelly in FL, when I need a change, she is the true meaning of a sister and a role model. As we get older, we grow closer, and form a more special bond. I want people to respect me, be comfortable around me, confide in me, and know that I am a wonderful friend, just as I feel that Farrah represents these many traits. I love my sister, she is the apple of my eye, and I hope that one day I can be just like her.
