As I sat at my desk to write Gianna's eulogy, I wondered: How can I write her eulogy so that it's just as unique as she is? My mind soon became flooded with the many fond memories I have of her. She is actually quite a character once you get to know her. The first time I she was so quite and timid. She hardly ever said a word. Until the day we discovered that we had many similar interests. That's when everything changed. I was exposed to a whole new side of her. To my surprise, she actually has a great sense of humor. She's also a little fiesty at times, which reminds me of when we were in kindergarden. I was the smallest kid in our class, which made me the punching bag for the bullies. On this particular day, the bullying was much more intense. It was time to go home, and, as usual, my coat was not in the coat closet. Gianna saw the boy take my coat, and once we got outside she kicked the boy's butt. In no way do I condone violence, but it felt amazing to see that kid feel the same way I felt. There has been numerous occasions whwre she has defended me and many others in our class. Thats just the type of person she is, always willing to help anyway she could if someone needed her.
She's very studious. She loved to read and write. She would read anything, as long as it was interesting. She was a very fast reader too. If a book really grabbed her attention, she would finish it in one day. I always admired her determination and her ability to stay focused. One thing I have to admit is that I hate she is such a perfectionist. Every single little detail had to be perfect. If it wasn't she would redo it however many times it took until it was perfect. As I snapped back to reality, I remebered that I still had a eulogy to write. I once again asked myself: How can I write her eulogy so that it's just as unique as she is? In an instant, something clicked. It is not me who will make her eulogy unique, but Gianna herself. She will tell her one story through me and the many wonderful and one of a kind exeperienced I shared with her.
