I think that falling in love does change a person. Usually the person falling in love can just be themselves around their loved one, but some of them do change. They change because they've never felt the way they feel for that special person. Depending on what the change is, if there is a change, it could definitely be a bigger upside from you as people would be seeing the "new" you. You could be nicer, more outgoing, more active, & all other things.

Conclusion

So throughout my life, I have always had my sister with me & I know for a fact that she will stay in my life forever. I don't see her often this year, but throughout her life & mine, we will always stay connected with each other. When I make my NHL (National Hockey League) debut, I will invite all of my closest friends & my family, of course, including Brianna. As much as she keeps saying "You think you're good enough to make it to the NHL? You have a lot to improve on to get into the NHL," I know that someday that I will make the NHL. I do have a lot of things to improve on, but I know for a fact that I will be good enough to play in the NHL, & the day that I make my debut, I will invite my closest friends & family, more importantly Brianna.

Anecdote #3

A couple years ago, in junior high, there would always be conflicts with people that involved me or I was the person who was part of the conflict. Everyday when I got home I would later talk to my sister about what was going on & she would secretly put me in a certain direction with the problem because I was going to take it into a bad decision. Usually when someone tries to attack me, I attack back but physically than mentally. Throughout the years I have been able to sort out conflicts without physical contact because my sister worked with me on that issue.

Anecdote #1

Late last year, I had begun my first year of tier hockey as we had a tournament in Detroit, Michigan. It had also happened in Los Angeles, as I hadn't been playing like I use to. My sister had told me in Detroit that I wasn't progressing as much as I did last year, & she told me that I needed to step it up. Before our road games in Los Angeles, she had told me again that I needed to be more aggressive & play like I did last year. She also tried to find ways for me to be motivated, & surely enough she did. Now I have been playing better & better every time I play a game on the ice. I thank her for helping me out regain my focus & have me play at my best.

Anecdote #2

When I was young, me & sister very much disliked our father. From time to time he would lecture us either individually or together, but it was still pretty bad since he's an alcoholic & he was drunk most of those times. Many times individually he would spank me, slap me, & rarely punch me. Because of that, I was scared of him & I couldn't tell my mother, so I would always tell Brianna & she would end up telling my mother who would then argue with my father for doing that to me. I know that whenever I need to tell my mother about my father, I can always tell my sister so that my mom knows how my father treats me.

Controlling Impression

My sister Brianna is important to me because she is always there for me. Whenever I have a problem or I need to tell someone something, she's always there, even if we're apart, I'm still able to talk to her. She has always helped me with homework, or just being with me when one of us has had a problem with our father. If it wasn't for her, I probably wouldn't be so competitive because we always fight each other when our teams play each other, & she keeps encouraging & motivates me with playing hockey & playing my absolute best. Even when she was going through tough times, like during her pregnancy & the day she got married, we were still able to talk & calm each other down.
