Alex

by Catherine from Georgia

A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver five minutes longer. (Ralph Waldo Emerson; proverbia.com)

A hero is someone that is always there for you. That you can look up to, that you can trust. A hero can be big or small, a friend, or family member, even a famous person or anyone you look up to. That is what a true hero is. Some people have other opinions and that’s fine, but here is mine.

My hero is my sister Alexandra, or Alex. My sister isn’t just a sister but a friend. Yeah, sure we have fights but now she is 18 and going to college, so I am running out of time to appreciate her like this. I tell Alex everything, who I like, what happened at school, and so on. I look up to my sister …alot. And I hope that one day someone will look up to me just as I do her.

My Sister is going to Western Carolina University for college. It is North Carolina and it is pretty small. She is going to major in Anthropology and minor in Archeology. She is currently a senior a McIntosh High School in Georgia. Alex has accomplished alot in her four short years in high school, and in college she will hopefully accomplish alot more.

My sister means a lot to me. And I hope she succeeds in her future. She has grown to be a great sister, friend, and young lady. I will miss her when she goes to college, and so will everyone else. But I hope that she accomplishes everything she wants to, because since she is a great sister I believe that she can be a great anything.
