Starting off with my brother. His name is Sam (everyone knew) and he is my favorite sibling (only). He is 19 and pretty cool. He goes to Trine University in Angola, In. We are five and a half years apart but I would say we act like were both two-year-olds. When we were young we weren't so close, but now that were older I'd say we're best buds. We joke about adult topics and our dad. In the younger days we would go outside and play army, and on rainy nights we would go out with our light sabers, turn them on, and fight in the cold. Now, we go on drives to town and joke and yell at horrible drivers. I don't get to see him much though, but when I do it is filled with stories and hugs.
Next is my lovely puppy, Lady Gaga. We didn't name her and we don't even live with her, but I consider her family anyway. She is a purebred Australian Shepard. She is one of my best friends and she's very fluffy. She is always happy to see me and wiggles her butt (she has no tail). She's getting old and she has arthritis in one of her legs. Gaga isn't friendly to some people though. But if some stranger asks if they can pet her we say yes. They always compliment on how soft and cute she is. Normally with Zoe and Samantha she growls. But, she is a good girl none the less.
This is one of my fish, Ico (eco). My other is Ruxin. Ico lives in my basement fish tank (the basement because I have had other fish in that tank, but they died, R.I.P. 10k (from Z Nation because he was all black and had big eyes) and Willow) and I always say, "Hello," to him when I come inside. He lives in a 5-gallon tank with many fake plants. He likes to swim around, because he's a fish, ya know? He doesn't do much, because he's a fish, but whenever I go downstairs to play video games he is good company.
Now, the people I can thank for my life. My mom and dad. My dad is really great. He's as old as the dinosaurs and has a broken back. (He fell off of our roof when he was putting tin on it.) He really supports me and what I want to accomplish in life, which sometimes, he really shouldn't. My mom, on the other hand, is very the opposite. She is always telling me not to lick that, Carissa! She is always worried that I'm going to hut myself or someone else, and I always tell her I'm not stupid, Mom! I spend most time with her, but I think I'm closer to my dad.
