Celebration Essay

Celebration Essay

By: Nicky Wubben

One person who has inspired me is my sister, Briana. She is a very good role model for me to follow.  

Briana, now at 20, is currently attending Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa. She is involved in Track and is surrounded in a Christian environment at all times. When I become that age, I would like to attend Dordt College also.  I would like to go to Dordt College because it has a Christian based education, Christian people would also influence me. 

 Briana has always taught me to do my best in whatever I do and made me want to strive to do my best.

My sister has always done well in track. Ever since she started track when she was a sophomore in high school, she has always made me want to do better.

Whenever my sister comes home for a visit, she always brings home something new to try. One time when she came home, she brought home some fabric. She said we were going to make headbands. We had a lot of fun together. Another time, we bought some picture frames and cut out things in magazines and put them on the picture frames. She always has fun ideas. We also take a lot of random pictures; like jumping off of hay bails, climbing on the corn dryer, and lots of others. We always have a fun time together.

In all, when I grow up I hope that my life mirrors my sisters.  Now in track I try to use the tips that she gave me to try to be better.  I hope I can also be a good role model to others.
