I have known Hillary since I was about twelve years old. Now, here I am at 17 about to go to college. During the past five years of knowing Hillary, she has become a teacher, mentor, older sister, and inspiration. As a teacher, she provided a foundation for me and helped me set my goals. As a mentor, she gave me guidance and pushed me to new limits. As an older sister, she put me back in my place and continued to humble me. However, I think the biggest thing she has become for me is an inspiration. When Hillary had a stroke, it really shocked me at how young she was. It made me wonder if she would be able to teach me again. However, Hillary pushed through leaps and bounds and was able to make a full and amazing recovery. Her story inspires me everyday to really live life to the fullest and to never give up.
Hillary has not only taught me technique in dance, but she has taught me to be a positive person. It has been a blessing to be her student and friend. Because of her, I see life in a different light and that anything is possible if you put your mind and heart into it.
