Who Saves Who?
**So I won’t be seen as a plagiarist, I am posting this blog with the note that this was a paper I wrote in November 2009 for my Writing 122 Class. It’s a bit clunky, but have always wanted to post it on my blog.

I used to day dream about saving my sister Elaina. The scenarios were quite simple, I would contact Richard Simmons, and he would knock on her door and become her personal weight loss guru. Or I would move to Kansas, and do it myself. It always seemed like it would be so easy, and the feeling I had in my heart and stomach whenever I thought of these things was so positive. But my family was in denial, especially my mom, so even mentioning Elaina’s ‘problem’ was taboo. So I did nothing, I said nothing, and it will be a regret I carry with me the rest of my life.
