Nala

Every single one of my baby pictures include her. I’m not sure if it’s just because she’s my sister or because she’s been there for me since I could remember.

“ Sisters function as safety nets in a chaotic world simply by being there for each other.” –Carol Saline. My sister, Marissa, is the most intelligent and brutally honest person I will ever know.

She’s my sister, of course I care about her. However, people love her simply because she’s Marissa. Others describe her as a loving and caring person. She would do anything for anyone if they needed her help. More so animals! She once stopped on the world trade bridge because there was a stray dog! Marissa is infatuated with a rescue dog she adopted named Nala. Nala has a face only Marissa could love. She also helps and feeds my grandma who has alzheimer’s. She has a lot of patience for others in need. Which is something very few people have. Marissa constantly volunteers from the kindness of her own heart.
