Jarrica Kirkpatrick “Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do, they'll still be there”, quoted by Amy Li. If I had to choose someone who inspired me the most in my life I would choose my older sister Jarrica Kirkpatrick. The reason why I decided to choose my older sister is because she inspires me to go to school, she motivates me and give me good advice, also because she finical supports me. Jarrica graduated from John .C. Smith College with a bachelor degree in biology. She is also going back to school at Hampton University this fall for Dentistry. Seeing her going back to school achieving her goals wanting to become a dentist motivated me to attend The Bridge Program. She told me attending this six week program will help me become successful in life. The one thing I love about my sister is when I felt like giving up on school and dropping out she took me to her job at the dentist office and seeing her handling business and take control at the office made me want to be successful just like her. Even though my sister may feel like she is talking for her heath when she gives me advice I really listen to her and try to act on the advice she gives me. I remember when I was in high school I had bad influences in my life as far as friends and Jarrica said “the same people you skipping school with and getting in trouble with are not your friend I’m your only friend”. At first when she told me that I thought she didn’t like my friends and she didn’t know what she was talking about but she was really telling me the truth and because she love me and she didn’t want me to go down the wrong path in my life. My sister is my best friend and I appreciate all the advice she gives me in my life. Another reason why I choose my sister is because she finical supports me with anything I need. Jarrica is like a second mother to me because if I need clothes, shoes,

    Although most will probably say someone close to them is inspiring, like their mother, grandmother, sister. In my opinion, they are your family, and you will always love and be inspired by them. Therefore I decided to write this on how a singer is inspiring to me. Her name is Miranda Lambert. Almost none of my friends have even heard of her. I guess because maybe she’s a country singer and they don’t really like country music? Who knows, but she is quite an amazing person. She grew up in a small town in Texas. “Not having money toughened me up a bit, but I'll always be grateful. Texas people are really strong in their roots. I started writing and playing guitar at 17. I've always loved music, and my dad is a singer-songwriter.” Miranda once…

    First, she is supportive because when our mother passed, I was living an apartment with her and caring for her until her death. I couldn’t go on living there after she had past. I was very sad and emotional wreck. I couldn’t concentrate on work or pay the bills. My sister stepped in and moved my kids and I in with her. I became very depressed after my Mom death. I didn’t know what was going on with me or what to do with myself. My sister was there for me again to advise and support me. She had lost her husband about 5 years prior to us losing our Mom. She dealt with that loss and showed me how to cope with this loss. Also, I have a daughter away at college. She calls my sister often for her guidance and support.…

    Not everyone can say they are a big sister. I on the other hand got blessed with not only being a big sister, but being one to Michelle. Michelle is my now 13 year old sister. We never really got to live with each other long because I was always moving, but there is no one that I love more. She can be the meanest person in the world, but she can also be my best friend. Because she is my sister, I have many jobs: making sure she is happy, making sure no one but me tortures her, and making sure our fights are not only a challenge, but also an art.…

    So who has inspired me? Well, as a young person there were not many people who inspired me. I didn't particularly have an easy childhood. Although I didn’t grow up in poverty, I also didn’t grow up in the lap of luxury. My mom worked hard, she worked two jobs just to provide the necessities, for my brother and me. I was only 9 years old when my parents divorced after a very traumatic marriage. My dad left and I did not see him again until I was in my late teens. Still, I managed to develop a fairly positive life is a "glass half full" attitude, due to my mom, but mostly due to my dad’s twin brother, my Uncle Jim, who really was more of a father to me, more than my own biological father. He had the most positive outlook on life, more than any person I have ever known, and I think that is because of the obstacles he himself had to overcome, in his own very hard life. You see, my Uncle Jim was a quadriplegic. When he was 18, after coming home on leave from the army, he was involved in a car crash. The medical doctors did not expect him to live through the night, or even through the next few days, and then they told him that he would only be able to survive at the most, a few months. But my grandparents were not about to let that happen! You see, they were his inspiration. Not only did my uncle live for the next few months, but he lived to be 47! – That is 29 additional years of life that he experienced because of the motivation and…

    Through the years, my family has taught me how to be a young lady and govern myself in a respectable manner. One of my mom’s most common sayings is “Make sure the decisions you make in life don’t affect the privileges you obtain.” This saying helps me to evaluate a situation, to its entirety, before reacting. My sister is the best role model anyone could ever have; she is well organized, Bible-based, and intelligent. Although my family has been through hard times we have always been there for one another, which has taught me to consistently lend a helping hand to those who are down.…
