“The most influential person in my life is my sister, Jillian. She’s my biggest role model, and I strive to be like her one day. Jill graduated high school with a 4.0 GPA and then went to the University of Kansas with a scholarship to major in business and still has a 4.0 GPA throughout her college career. She has taught me how to become a successful person like herself and continue to be the best person I can be. We have our ups and downs, like sometimes we get into arguments, but we always find a way to rekindle our differences. When I was in middle school, I would go through many problems with my friends, but Jillian usually always helped me get to reality figure out what I could do in the situation, and help try to fix it. I don’t know what I would do without her guidance helping me to my successes.” – Sophie Crutcher, 9
