Parsons Challenge: All these pieces are based around the central idea of sisterhood.

Everyday I live my life as others do, with a routine. I run back and forth, and in and out of the house. Often times I see the three family members that live with me, less than I see my friends during the school day. We all have hectic schedules, which at times leave us tumbling in the door of the house for the first time during the late evening, after leaving the house in the early morning.

To an extent though, I feel as if some of that closeness lingers. We are close, we fight less. My sister is someone who has shared almost my entire life with. The beauty lies in the memories we share. Intricate and somewhat delicate, our sisterhood has a strength to it. I know that no matter what, she will always be there to help when I have a downfall.
