My Inspiration
Who do you admire most? Who do you turn to when you are looking for inspiration? A former teacher, your boss, your pastor, or maybe even your parents. As we get older we tend to think little to the thought of having a role model.

She had light brown freckles under her big brown eyes. Her teeth were whiter than the clouds. Her voice was as light as a marshmallow. Her hair was soft, short, black, and curly, and stopped right above her shoulders. She had a light brown blemish free complexion. Her skin was smooth and smelled like fresh dove soap.

We did not have the best life growing up, but she did not let that affect her future. My sister graduated from The University of Tennessee Knoxville with honors, and received her bachelor’s degree in hospitality and tourism. She volunteers at Red Cross, soup kitchens, local animal shelters and much more. She is passionate about serving the community and helping others who are not as fortunate.My sister is a huge fitness advocate who inspires me to get in the gym. I have gained over seventy five pounds since high school. She inspires me to become more health conscious seeing as how diabetes and hypertension runs in our family. She has been my biggest support system since my grandmother died.She gives me financial and relationship advice and tips on how to be successful in school. I know I can talk to her about anything and she will always have my best interest at heart. I love her to pieces and I could not ask for a better sister or role
