These pictures are of my sister, Destinee and I. As her big sister, an act of kindness that I always try to do is be a good role model and always trying to open her eyes to new experiences. Whether it is doing well in school or always setting a good example of how a strong woman acts, I try to be someone that she can look up to. Destinee also visits GMU frequently and when she does I try to take her to events that showcase diversity and different views. Recently, I took her to the annual Drag Show (see above). She loves the new experiences and cannot wait to experience college for herself. By taking her to these events, I think she is also becoming more open-minded and accepting of others who are not like her self. In our small hometown, everyone looks and thinks alike. Visiting Mason she can see diversity all around and recognize the importance of being around people who have different views than yourself, an essential quality needed for personal growth. These experiences also allow us to spend quality time together:)
