My One and Only

This week, I have been thinking.  For my first couple of blogs, I really want to give credit to some of the people that influence me.  The first one on my list is my sister, Victoria.

To start, Victoria, or as I call her, Toya, is two years older than I am, so we share many experiences.  Many siblings have innumerable fights a week, but my sister and I could not be closer.  Honestly, I do not know where I would be without her.  In fact, I'd probably wind up as a lazy, irresponsible person wandering through the woods without a clue of what I should be doing!  From the time I was born, she has taught me many life skills.  Some of these include to always laugh at the little things in life, never take anything for granted, and to always be yourself.  These are mottoes that I will never forget.

Nights that we stay up until three in the morning laughing because we're "slap-happy" are memories that I will always cherish.  Yes, we have lots of fun times goofing around together.  Everything from fashion to academics, you name it.  Toya is on top notch with it all.  She is a straight-A student, taking Honors and AP courses.  On top of it all, she is still extremely social and can balance out her activities well.  I look up to her as my role model, and she has never let me down.

I could go on and on about my sister for days, but this is basically my thank you to her in a nutshell.  Toya is one of those few people who I know will always be there for me, and I will always be there for her.  She is my one and only sister, and I love her with all of my heart.I know that we will continue to grow even closer, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
