Cross country trip

When my sister graduated college she and her best friend from took a cross country trip. They started by driving down the east coast until they hit Georgia, then they went across the south through Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico etc. until they hit California. They ended up staying in California the longest because they loved it so much (her friend who went with her ended up moving to California because of this trip). Then they went up the west coast and across the north back home. They planned this whole thing out for weeks, how much money they would need, gas, a whole driving schedule so they could make it home in a month. They ended up extending their trip numerous times until they finally came back after two and a half months. They had nothing but what they could fit in their car (they brought along a tent just in case) and they never stayed in a hotel once. They visited people they knew and stayed with them and when they didn't know anyone they stayed with people they met or slept in their car or in their tent. Sometimes they would just continue driving through the night in shifts and then sleep on the beach the next day. She still talks about her trip a few years later and I know she had such a great time. I think this is one of the coolest things she has done and I hope that I do something like this one day.

Sibling Resemblance?

This is a picture from my high school graduation this summer. I'm on the left my sister Amy (the one i'm writing about) is in the middle, and my sister Megan is on the right.

It's the truth

I stumbled across this quote on the internet. It didn't say who it's by but I thought it was a good fit.

"You can kid the world, but not your sister."

Sharing a Room

     When I was younger my sister and I used to share a room. There are four kids in my family and there were only three bedrooms so we had two to a room. This was a little more difficult for my sister because I am 8 years younger than her so while we shared a room she was in early high school and I was in early elementary school. I however loved it. I thought it was so cool I got to live with my older sister in her room.
     She acted kind of as a parent to me. I had active parents but once it was night and we were both in our room she became my mom almost. If i had a bad dream I would go across the room and sleep with her instead of going to my parents. I don't remember if this was when I started looking up to her or if it was even before then but sharing a room definitely contributed to how i look up to her today.

My Sister Amy

The role model I picked was my oldest sister Amy. I picked her because I have always looked up to her. I have started the research on her but really I don't know exactly what I should remember and write down as opposed to what i don't necessarily need. I'm beginning to think that picking a member of my family might not turn out as good as if I had picked someone famous.
