Melynn-er-loo



This post is dedicated to my sister Melynn because it's her birthday!

If you need a job done, Melynn is the person to ask. When she sets her mind to something, she accomplishes it. I remember when I was in middle school I was almost embarrassed to go for a run. Not Melynn. If she wanted to do a workout video, she just did it. She didn't care what anybody else thought. If she thought she could join MUN (Model United Nations) with a bunch of kids who had more experience, she did. Not only is she unafraid to try new things, but she excels in everything she does.

Melynn is rare in the fact that she has ambition, is creative, works hard, and doesn't care how she is perceived as long as she knows what she is doing is right. She is admired for her confidence by all who come in contact with her. She inspires me to keep trying, to put myself out there, and to put forth the effort to succeed. Because that's what she does. While in Sweden she could not play softball and so had to find other extracurricular activities. One thing she tried was windsurfing! How cool is that? She just went for something completely new and did really well.

I admire my sister in a lot of ways. But with all that she has done and has the potential to do, the best thing about Melynn is her heart. She is loyal to her friends and family. She truly values her relationships. And though she loves meeting new people, she never leaves her old friends behind.

Melynn, you have no idea how much it meant to me when you told me how much you missed me since I left for college. You are a great little sister and I can't wait to see what you accomplish. Don't forget that your family loves you. Have a great birthday. I can't wait to see you next week!
