How do you describe Rhanzah?
Rhanzah is not the greatest, funniest or even perfect to the world but to me, she is all that. She is someone I can trust, relate to and have a good laugh with. She is my role model, friend, and the best sister anyone could have. I do not even think anyone can understand how great our relationship is. We love each other with love that only a sister can give and understanding so great that no word can describe it. Rhanzah’s attitude is out of this world. She is kind-hearted, sweet and courteous. I admire and seek to achieve such qualities. I look up to her.

We also did this to our parents.
