There are very few people in this world that can be described as exceptional.  Not many people in this world honestly go above and beyond the status quo.  To find a person who is genuine and inspiring in junior high is like finding a piece of gold in dirt.

I have many amazing friends who, in my eyes, are truly amazing individuals.  Marta just so happens to be one that really stands out in everything she does.  She is an incredible student, soccer player, and leader.  Unlike me, everyone in the school knows and admires her.  Marta is one of those people that swears like a sailor and is a saint.  She can joke about herself and really knows who she is as a person.

Because of things in my past, I have a hard time trusting people.  Yet, I have trusted Marta since the day we became friends.  Whenever I need a shoulder to cry on, or someone to rant to, she is always there.  There are very few people who are actually there for you all of the time.  I am lucky enough to have one of those very few people as my friend.

In addition to being a beautiful person on the inside and out, Marta is a born leader.  She has a calling to make a change and do something big.  Currently, she serves as the TMJH 9th Grade Class President, and is in the running to become next years Sophomore Representative.  Although we have not been told the results yet, I know Marta was chosen because of the way that she interacts with people.  She has a special way of connecting with an audience, and my grade would be completely stupid not to pick her.  There are so many things that she is able to bring to the table that others can't.  It excites me to even think that she will be representing our grade; there isn't anyone better.

I am lucky to even know Marta Myshrall.  From school to photography, she excels in everything.  I didn't that it was possible to be perfect until I met Marta. Marta is one of my best friends.  I don't know how I would survive without her.
