Well, I would like to talk about one of my family members that I always take pride in, my older sister, who currently is working as a sale woman in a multinational company.
As a sale person, the appearance is really important to her, so whenever she appears in public, she always gets dressed up. Also, due to her slim body, it is very easy for her to choose clothes. Normally, she wears jeans with white shirts, but when it is necessary, she suits up for formal events. I think all of those help her to stand out in a crowd, and draw attention from many other people.
Not only is she a successful businesswoman, but she also spends part of her time to take care of me. From I was a little child, she was my best friends, we shared laugh and happiness together. Since then, she has consistently stood by me in my ups and downs and supported me no matter what I am going through. She gave me valuable advice and a strong feeling that I could confide in. I was quick-tempered person and easy to lost control in some situations. She has taught me how to be patient, calm down and think twice before making any decision. Thanks to her, I have become a better person. I am so lucky to have her in my life.
