DAY THREE-

The Kokol family. 
1: Kris- She lets me be at her house until all hours of the night. (This has saved me many of times.)
She teaches me so much on a daily basis, because she is really the smartest adult I have encountered. And smart about EVERYTHING, not just a few subjects. She makes me want to learn, and want to be smart. She is also a great example of a mom. Sometimes I feel like she is my second mom. I feel like if I ever need anything, I can call her. She is really fantastic. Kris, Thank you for everything, You have no idea how much I look up to you. I hope when I grow up I am even half as cool as you. 
2: Ari- Ari has had one of the biggest influences on who I am. She taught me to appreciate little things, she is fantastic. She has such a great sense of humor. She is a friend to everyone. She is just a good person and easy to talk to. She had such a good influence on my sister Shelbie, too. She is an astounding person.  Ari, Thank you. 
3: Natalie- a.k.a my best friend. Lets just say in the past year-ish i've been through a lot with the divorce and moving. Lots of emotions. Natalie helped me get through it all. And has helped me know how to get through it all. 
But not even just in the past year, ever since we became friends on that random bus ride home. (thank you school of rock) She is my example of,
being a peacemaker
being independent
being strong
doing whats right, simply because its right
working hard in school
someone who honestly cares
and to stand up for myself. 
Natalie, thank you. Thank you for being yourself. Thank you for being an exuberant influence on my life. 
4: Katie- I feel like katie understands more than most 13 year olds do. She is one of those people that you are just happy to see. She is my example of really being nice, sincerely nice. My little sister Brielle is sometimes immature, just because she likes to be. It can be obnoxious or cute. However, Katie is so nice to her, and has been one of Brielle's biggest influences. Katie, Thank you. 
Also, and on a more lighter note, they have taught me that sometimes its good to just forget and have fun. Even if it is just for a night. 


Kokols?
