What would I do without them?
There are many people in my life that support me. They make me what I am and what I want to be. A few that stand out are Patty, Sarah, Mandy, and Anthony. They are all the supporting actors in the play of my life.
Patty is my oldest sister. She plays the role of the wise owl, always full of good advice and knowledge. Since the beginning of my life she has been there to support me. Patty always made time for me when she would come home from college to visit. She would spend most of her time with her boyfriend, who is now her husband, but in the morning when we got up, I would go to her room and we would talk. The morning talks were our time together. We don't have as many morning talks as we used to, since our lives are changing, but she is still always there when I need her.
Mandy is a very close friend of mine. She listens to my problems and is always supportive, making her play the role of a dog, a/k/a man's best friend. Mandy also makes me laugh and have a good time. I don't have a history with her like my sister, but her role is equally important. Mandy and I had History and band together in high school. She is one year older than me, so she would usually end up helping me with my homework. We never really got much homework done, though, because we would always end up talking. No matter how bad I was having, she would always make me feel better and help me through it.
Sarah is another dear friend of mine. I've known her a little longer than Mandy. Sarah is a good listener too, but if I want to go out and have fun, Sarah would be the one to call, hence making her play the role of a kitten, playful and full of energy. Sarah is off the wall and blonde; but blonde in a good way. She always makes me laugh, and makes my momentary problems vanish out of sight. Sarah and I worked at the same place, so we always have fun and work well together. Everyone always thought we were crazy. For instance, in between customers we would sing along to songs that were playing over the loud speaker and laugh about nothing at all.
Anthony is my boyfriend and a huge part of my life. He plays the role of a loving teddy bear; strong willed, but soft and fuzzy. Right now we are going through a long distance relationship. I believe it's making out relationship even stronger. He has done so much for me. He makes me laugh, cry, smile, and brings out the best in me. He has always supported me and makes me feel good about myself. I don't know what I would do without him.
There are a lot of people in my life that are important to me, but out of everyone these four people stand out. I know if I ever need someone to talk to, they'll be there for me. This is especially important to me since I just started college and am going through a huge adjustment. I hope everyone has a Patty, Mandy, Sarah, or Anthony in his or her life.
