Short Narrative - My Sister

Have you ever had a friend that you never thought in your lifetime would impact you in such a good way? My best friend, Marion Mitchell, was one of the biggest influences in my life. I met her six years ago in highschool. We were hesitant to start speaking at first but we soon found ourselves talking up a storm. She is the kind of person that I can still go to even when we are fighting because I know we are mature enough to put the arguments aside to help each other out. She is always one to put others before herself and knows how to cheer anyone up with a good laugh. Her advice giving and listening skills is what I admire the most. Marion does not hold back on what she thinks of any situation or advice I may need. We are bluntly honest with each other, but we understand that we mean nothing to help. She is one of the few people in my life that I can tell anything and everything to. I know no matter what, she will not judge me. We can go a week without talking and pick up the phone as if we spoke earlier in the day. We have been through so much from fighting for days to two week family vacations together. Marion is half Japanese, half African-American. She is very cultured with her family, just as I am with mine. We teach each other the languages and we can even speak back and forth with understanding everything. Marion and I have gotten so close over the years, I truly consider her as a sister to me.
