5 Things My Older Sister Needs to Know
Jenny Foutz

Let's be real.....you're a real pain in my butt! I love you more than life itself but sometimes you drive me up a wall. We butt heads because we are opposites; that will never change. Now that I have that out of the way, I also want you to know that you are one of my favorite people ever, you are my older sister! In a crazy world that is going to try and knock you down, I want you know these five things:

1. You are beautiful.

Please don't ever let the world convince you that you are not. People will try and tell you otherwise, but I am here to tell you that you are beautiful. If you believed that as much as I do you could conquer any room you walk into. You have outer beauty but you also have inner beauty, and I think that means more than anything. Your spirit is beautiful and I hope you never let anyone take that from you.

2. You are smart.

You have always been the "smart one" out of the two of us. You still amaze me because you always seem to know everything about everything. You retain information so well and always blow people away because you usually are smarter than then. Again, I hope you never let people convince you that you are dumb -- you are anything but that.

3. No matter what, I will always be your biggest supporter.

We fight over almost everything and you drive me crazy but even during those times I will always be your #1 supporter. No matter what you decide to do with your life I will always be here for you. I don't always show it because honestly, I don't really know how, but I promise I will always be there for you.

4. Never let the world put out your fire.

The world can be such a negative and mean place; please don't ever let that bring you down. I truly believe that you could do anything you set your mind to, you could totally run this country if you wanted. But if you let the world put out your fire people will never see how truly amazing you are.

5. You are stronger than you will ever know.

I have known you my whole life (DUH), and even though both of us never want to admit it, I know you better than anyone. I know that you are so much stronger than you will ever give yourself credit for. Please never doubt your strength and what you can do.


We are complete opposites, we fight about everything, and let's be real we don't look anything alike. We have different views on the world and different views on right and wrong. We didn't choose the same life paths nor did we make the same life changing decisions. With all of that said I can truly say my life would not be the same without you. You have helped shape me into the crazy person I am today. Without your sweet soul I wouldn't be me. Love you lots big SISTER!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
