It’s a weird thing, going to college. A lot of things change in your life, but one of the weirdest is not living in the same place as you anymore. It’s cool to hear about the changes in your life when I come home, but a part of me feels like I’m missing out on the most important times of your life. When I left for freshman year of college, you were just a baby. Now, you’re driving, have a job, you’re never at home because you’re always hanging out with all of your friends, and for the most part, you really don’t need the help of your big sister anymore.

These days whenever we walk into a restaurant, more often then not, my friends are excitedly yelling your name, rather than mine. And maybe to most people, that would get on their nerves, but not to me. It only makes me realize everyone else sees just how great you really are, just like I do. You’re so smart. I hope to one day be as good at school as you are. (Which is not likely.) You never meet a stranger, and your love for others is a quality a lot of people wish they had. It’s you who is the first one to raise your hand, when someone needs help. And it’s you who won’t leave until the job is done.

I could go on and on about all of the amazing qualities that you so humbly don’t see in yourself, but I’ll spare everyone the major sappiness. So, I’ll leave you with this: You are awesome, kind, incredible, smart, funny, and a world changer. If you ever need your big sister, I’d stop the world to help you. I love you always.

Love you!
