what about them i admire

for alot of people its hard to look at themselves and see something great. it hard to see that great quality that others see. i was reading this book and in it a very good question was asked. if you friends and family members can love you for who you are, why cant you do that same for yourself. i think for many of us, we are unaware of what quality we have in us that makes us so like able, mainly because no one tells us. well for this entry i would like to talk about a few of my friends and what about them makes them my friend, what about them i admire.

Pearl- what sparked my interest and made me want to be my friend, my best friends, was that she has such a big personality for someone smaller than myself. she symbolizes everything i wish i could be. to me she has the perfect life. she comes from a strong family with strong values, a culture so different from the ones i usually see everyday, she gets great grades, shes like, i dont know, amazing(lol, i used THE WORD). shes someone to admire and and try to be like. we both are so different than others, expecially in sayreville, but she holds her own, and holds it with her head up high. i dont think we ever actually had an argument. and she makes me want to be a better person. shes not one to be rude, even when like most of my friends were south asian they never would talk in a different language or talk about something that would make me feel eft out, and shes a great person for doing so. shes sweet, open minded, and sooooo confident. shes talented, its almost impossible to find any flaws about her. she is such a great person and an even greater friend and i dont know what would have happened if i didn't meet her. shes basically the person who has helped me become who i am today. she made it cool for me to just be me. and i thank her for that.shes just a person to admire, lol.

Karina- i admire her spirit, even with the restrictions people set in her way, she seems to get over them, she seems to be free. she seems confortable enough in her skin to flirt with boys and draw people to her. you would never know if she has image problems or family problems, or any problems at that, like the rest of us. she seems so responsible, the way she watches her siblings and takes care of the house while her mom and dad are out trying to make her life and the lives of her brothers and sister better. i can't help but be wide-eyed in admiration to the fact that she has both perents. she has a beautiful personality that sems to attract people to her. shes so open minded like me and so confident. shes such a beautiful person inside and out. most of all she has a culture, a language, and identity of her own. she has a flag (which might seem weird to admire but coming from somone who's flag is nothing but the american one, its worth admiring to me)

Anisa- she has that quality that i wish i had. i cant put it into one word but she um... she doesn't take herself so seriously. she knows when to let things go. she doesn't start arguments or acts rude. you know that you and her would never have a falling out. shes such a sweet girl with such a big heart.shes someone you can joke around with. like i said she doesn't take things so serious. shes tall (which i waish i could be) and so caring. shes someone i can talk to. shes not as talkative as me, she lets other people get a word in. she doesn't come off as too much. shes openminded and doesn't pass judgements and understands alot of things like that bother me, b/c half of the time its he same thing that bothers her.

Abby- the fact that we are so different yet so alike leaves me with wide eyes. shes so open minded and fun to be around. i admire her sooo much for speaking her mind and not backing down. to me she seems so strong. i think shes a beautiful person inside and out. her life kinda reflects the way mone used to be: living in the suberbs, in a nice safe neighborhood with nice safe neighbors (something i miss every now and then). shes the kind of person you'd love to have on your side because you know she will stick by you in the end no matter what. she looks out for you and pushes you to be the best you can be, shes soo soo soo suported of me. most of all, i admire her strong beliefs (even though they may be different than mine).

Armando- now hes like the only boy on this list. mostly because hes the only guy who i would consider a close friend of mine. i must say he holds his own enough to make it on my list(lol). he has that personality kind of like anisas, he lets perople get a say edge wise. he listens to what you have to say and on the most part is very understanding. he though is sometimes hard to understand (mostly because hes one of my few guy friends) but that makes you want to learn more about him. mostly hes sweet, sometimes so much so it surprises you. i cant help but admire his strong feelings for anisa and how much he cares. hes a person you cant help but like even when all you want to do is curse him out for the rest of your days (lol). hes sensitive, very sensitive, but not too sensitive that its really really annoying. like i said hes caring and has a good heart.
