I AM THE PERSON


I am the person that has to be dragged out of bed each morning.

I am the person that likes sports even though I'm not good at them.

I am the person that is kind to people.

I am the person that loves to be around animals and wants to help, cure and love them forever.

I am the person that wants her life to be dedicated to the domestic animals of the world.

I am the person who sucks up to my mom so she will buy me something at the mall.

I am the person that cleans Mr. Welton's blackboards.

I am the person that was born into a loving Christian family and has loved them every day for being there for me.

I am the person that wishes my eldest sister will be not a phone call away but only a shout.

I am the person that weeps when she leaves to go back home.

I am the person that has an older sister that is handicapped and has many, many needs.

I am the person that loves and cares for her every day of my life and sometimes thinks about the fact that I could wake up or come home one day to find out that she just passed away.

I am the person that wishes to reach out to friends and tell them that it is O.K to be near her, for they might not have another chance to make her life and mine just a little happier.

I am the person that believes that God puts many miracles in our lives.

I am the person that believes this, because my sister is one of them.
