Giannina 

For some people, Giannina is a nick name for a girl whose real name may be Giovanna. For people who don't know her that well, she may seem to be quite weird and complicated, but in reality she is a fun loving and outgoing girl.

Giannina is also a great friend who cares and tries to be there for you when you need her, she might not know what to do but she still tries. Overall she is an amazing person and you are quite lucky to know her or have her as a friend (:

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
