Everyone has one person in this world that they look up to. Someone they strive to be like for whatever reason. That person could be the president, or a favorite actor or director, and for some a religious leader. There is someone that I look up to. She is not famous, or well known, she has not won awards or invented something miraculous. She is a regular person like me, trying to figure out life and what to do with it. That person is my best friend Lauren.
Although we have not been friends for long, it feels like we have been friends forever. I have known her for four years, but never really knew her until this summer. I have come to learn that she is truly an amazing person. She is smart, fun, and she is always there when I need her. In high school, she was always in the honors classes and does very well is school. The thing is, is that she is very humble about it. We have several friends who brag about their grades and “tell the world,” but not Lauren. I do well in school, but it is not as natural as it is for her. She never makes me feel less because of it. She is encouraging and helpful when needed.
There has never been a dull moment when hanging out with her. This past summer Lauren and I were inseparable. We would often be questioned by random people “are you two twins?” We would just smile and laugh because we heard it so often. This summer we went through a lot, normal teenage stuff, but we were there for each other, always. She always has a way of making me feel better when it seems impossible. Whenever I did not answer my phone, I would always have a voicemail of her singing our favorite song “Stay Beautiful” by Taylor Swift. When I would hear that, it would brighten my day times ten! I admire her ability to make things better. When both our days were rough she would worry more about fixing mine than hers. She is so strong like that. She worries more about others than herself, a trait I wish was more apparent in myself.
Lauren is the one person I look up too. She is strong, smart and beautiful! She has so much going for her. Although she is two thousand miles away at Rockhurst University I know she will always be there for me, and I am here for her. She has many qualities I wish I could possess. She does not even realize how beautiful a person she is. I know she will go far in life and have many successes. I love her to death and I miss her terribly. Aristotle said “What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies,” when we are together that is exactly what we are like and I cannot wait until Christmas break when we are together again.
