I know I smile a lot, but there is always a great reason for this. There are so many people in my life that make me happy. If I am not at school, it's being at home. Life has many ups and downs and you should always try to look at the positive side of life. In my life, some of the people that make me smile the most are my parents, my sister, the rest of my family. my boyfriend, my friends, and my sorority. I know that these people will always be by my side no matter what.

My parents would both do anything for me and I really appreciate that. There is always something that one of them does that puts a smile on my face. Mom and dad, life would be very different for me if you were not who you are. You have made me appreciate everything thing that I have in my life. No matter what hardship I have had, you have always been there to make me smile or laugh. There are so many great memories of growing up and smiling along the way.

My sister is not only my sister but also my partner in crime. You always know how to make me laugh at any situation that we may be stuck in. Life is always changing but you are one person that I know will never leave my side. We have so many inside jokes and they are what make me laugh whenever I am missing you.

As for the rest of my family, life has been nothing short of an adventure with all of you. Whenever we are together, there is always some great story that comes of it. These are the stories that we will pass along for years to come. The smiles we all share might not always be in the happiest of times but we all know how to be there for one another.

My boyfriend already knows how much he brightens up my day. While at school I know I have somewhere I can go to feel safe with you. You always make me have a smile on my face, whether it's when we are hanging out or when we are just talking on the phone. You make me such a happy person and excited to wake up each and every day. We have so many inside jokes and things that we know will make the other smile. What we share is something special that I will cherish forever. And I know if I need a good laugh I need to see you.

My life would be very different without the people I call my friends.They are a part of me that I could never live without. My best friends are the ones I know that I can trust with my life and will always have my back. Life has been a roller coaster but they were always there to support me. All the good times we have had will be ones I will remember forever.

My sorority, Theta Phi Alpha, has changed me so much. Since going to college, I knew I wanted to be a part of something that was bigger than myself; joining a sorority was exactly what I needed. My sisters have made me more outgoing and confident in myself. They have given me two people that make me smile the most: my little and Glittle. They are my tiny family when I am at school and we are so close that I know I always have them to catch me. The laughs and smiles we share as a sorority will be in me forever.

Being able to smile is one of the greatest skills a girl can have; it can take you a long way. So, thank you to all the people that make me smile so much. You all mean the world to me and I hope know you are the reason that I smile every day.
