Dear Trent,

Sadly I will never see you again, but before I leave I wish to leave you this letter. I know you hated when I told you to leave me alone, even if I was working. I shoved you away and refused to play video games with you or watch our shows together, and for that I am sorry. I wish I would have given more of my time to grow closer to you. You are my older brother, and I appreciate all the things you do for me, like buying me food, letting me borrow your books, and listening to me. Although you lose your temper with me and sometimes become too physical, I know you love me and do not want me hurt. I regret not listening to you as closely as you would have liked. You had valuable information that could have aided me. The time we spent watching anime together, teasing each other, and laughing meant more to me than you would believe. As my older brother, I look up to you. I know I have never told you this, not even once, but I love you.

Your little sister,
Sidney.

Mom

Of all the people I know, my mother is my role model. I look up to her because she raised me to be who I am today. Even though it was tough and I most likely emptied my stomach on her multiple times, she nursed me to health when I was ill  Along with raising me, which is a feat all on it's own, she raised five other children. Each of us grew up to be respectable young adults. Everything she does she works hard at. From cleaning, to work, to decorating and paying bills she keeps everything under control. My mother always has a relativity cool head during difficult situations. Although some habits and characteristics are not as pleasant as I would want, I take after her my mother in many ways. For all these reasons I consider my mother to be my role model, and I look up to her.
