My Big Sister

by Elisande Savalle from Caen in France

The hero I have chosen to talk about is my big sister.
She seems to be ordinary, but I know she is not.
She is really dedicated to helping others, and she has been helping people in need around her since she was a child.
When she entered university, she started to help other people with their studies and homework. She took part in an association and she became known for her kindness. Soon everyone in the school was asking her for help.
Helping people requires a lot of time but she is always willing to sacrifice her time for others.
Last September, she entered a new university and she rapidly made new friends. One of them was a disabled girl who had been struggling all her life to take notes and properly study.
My sister felt like she had to help her, so she offered to lend her her notes and help her study.
She thought that her friend was so brave that it would be a shame if she failed her studies, even if she did her best, just because she was disabled.
The university saw her dedication and wanted to thank her for all the efforts she had made for her friends and all the other students, but she stayed humble and said that it was a normal thing to do for a friend.
However, as her sister, I know that it actually takes her a lot of time, and even if she enjoys doing it, it is worth paying tribute to her.
She has always helped me when I needed it, and I know that she is always ready to help me.
She inspires me to be a better and kinder person, and do good everytime I can, because if small actions have an impact on at least one person, it still can change the person's world.
For all of that and everything else, thank you !
