" Hold on tight"

              This post might be a little bit embarrassing for you, Deni but as an older sister it is my job to brag about you :)
              The other day I was checking my email and I got a message from my sister with the subject " Hold on Tight". I opened up the email and it said,  "School my be hard, but it wont be long till you get your diploma, hold on tight.... and everything will work out.... :D" and there was a picture of Agnes from " Despicable Me" hugging a monster- looking animal. It was a cute email that was uplifting and funny:) 
             I feel bad for my little sister sometimes because I get so caught up with my studies that I forget to listen to her. I don't listen to her as well as I should and that makes me a bad sister. I can get so irritable sometimes that I take it on her but somehow she still deals with it. She takes the time to listen to me even though I don't. Deni  has these qualities that are so unique. She is bold, strong, and fearless. She enjoys life and doesn't carry a heavy load on her back. I am not saying that she has it easy. She is one of those optimistic people who can face life's challenges eye-to-eye. I can see it in her. I can see that she has potential to change things in life. Although she seems a little hard on the outside, she truly cares about people in her life. She is a brave young lady who will hunt a person down if they hurt one of her dear ones. She is truly a unique person.
            At times it takes me by surprise when she says these kind of things. I forget sometimes that she is growing up into an adolescence. I still picture her being 4' 9" with her short haircut and carrying around "Sophie", her baby doll. It is crazy to stop and realize at all the changes that is going around. It saddens me sometimes to know that people are growing and changing, but I know it is for the best. 
           I am grateful for my little sister and couldn't be more proud of her. Despite the negative influence that is going around her, she always make the right decisions. I am happy to have a little sister like her and couldn't have traded for another one:)
