Vote for Melinda
My big sister Melinda Haffenden is a very loyal,trustworthy and fun sister to be around. She has been there all my life in the good and bad times. Over the years we've had some family problems and Melinda has always been there to cheer my mum up and lend a helping hand where needed to help things run smoothly again.She is in year 13 at secondary school where she is an A+ pupil and often gets scholar awards. Just recently she got into M.I.T bachelor of nursing and will do that for three years and an additional year for practical work.
She is very determined and is going straight from school to university where as most people wait a couple of years. I'm sure this will be great but i'm sure she needs a break between them so this will be perfect for her!
If you know her you will know how hard she studies and hardly ever takes breaks and time for herself so with this she can go on holiday and relax. With reading this i hope you know her how i do because she is truely my role model and i hope to be like her one day!
She is an insparation to me and i hope you too!!!
