A person who I admire

 It’s difficult to choose only one person, because we can admire a lot of people in our life. Hard work is part of my life. My sister is the person who I admire the most. Her life can be a good example of a person who made a lot, but never asked for help as asking for help was symbol of weakness for her. I know her since I was born, but I’ve understand her during last three or four weeks.

She woke up at 5 o’clock in the morning and cleans the house properly. Then she took bath and dressed up and made breakfast for all of the members.She always cracks me up with her witty jokes. She's two 2 years older then me but doesn't always treat me like a constant annoyance like you might expect of sisters our age. She has dark brown eyes and dyed black hair, shaped into a long bob. She has pale skin with small, red lips and a small, pointy nose.When I was younger she was my idol and we were more or less best friends. We've always been relatively close and stuck up for each other when people have been nasty. At least sometimes she is unfriendly and bossy when she is angry. But it doesn't matter she is my sister who I admire.
