Dear Sara-Bear,
                You are one of my best friends. You are so funny and goofy that I can be myself around you made us sit back to back and get to know each other better. You make my day, all day, everyday! I love how honest we can be with each other, that we are always smiling and laughing when we talk and that we have so much in common. Last year, we were not as close as we are now and I am so glad that we have gotten to know each other better and become good friends. I remember in ropes course, (it took me almost four months to realize this)when we first met at freshman orientation, all we talked about were panda bears! You may be silly- just because you think red is better than green- but I love you. Every time we are together, we make it legen- wait for it- dary!
                                                                                                                          Love,
                                                                                                                                  Sammy

One person who inspires me would have to be my grandfather. He is the most generous, kind, and caring person I have ever met. When my grandmother became ill, my grandfather was ALWAYS right by her side. He stayed with her through thick and thin; everyday, he told her how much he loved and cared for her. To me, for him to never give up on her or the situation they were faced, that is the sweetest and most generous thing a person could do. This reminds me that they are genuine and caring people, but it just depends on who you find and keep in your life. I am so grateful for him and for the way he treated her. One day, I hope to meet more people as genuine, kind and caring as he. I adore him and am glad that he is in my life.
