Sisterhood
When I looked in the dictionary under “sisterhood”, it said “the state or relation of being a sister”; it’s more than just that. Sisterhood is a feeling beyond words. It’s a feeling of warmth and comfort. It means knowing that someone will be there for you under all circumstances, that they accept you for who you are, and that they will support you in everything you do. When I think of the word sisterhood, I think of more than one individual sharing a blood like connection. A sister is someone who you can talk to when you can't talk to anyone else. Someone you can get into an argument with and laugh within the next second because you know each other didn't mean it in a harmful way. She is someone who can make you laugh when you feel like crying, and will always keep authentic with you by not telling you what you want to hear but what you need to hear. That someone you can depend on to be your rock when everything else is shaky. I believe that sisterly love means to accept your sister for what and who she is flaws and all. Sisterhood is a pat on the back, a friendly hug, a cheerful hello. Sisterhood is about doing the little things to make your sister smile. It’s everything that a good and lasting friendship is, but ten times better. Sisterhood knows that there will always be someone around whom you can talk to or share your stories with, no matter what. Sisterhood is about sharing dreams and achieving goals together. It’s aspiring to reach greater heights and exceed expectations together. Sisterhood is about counting on others and being counted on to make a difference. Sisterhood is something sacred and treasured. Sisterhood is showing & telling others the good that you do. Sisterhood is learning about people. It’s about learning about life. It’s about learning to give back to your campuses and communities selflessly. Sisterhood is so many things at once. Simply said, it’s the ultimate experience of a
