The first time I met Michele I was scared to death. I was still in my shy stage, and my mother was sending me out to go shopping with her. All I new about her was that she was married to my brothers case worker, and that she is a pastor for the Methodist Church. Needless to say when she pulled in the driveway I was shaking in my boots.
During my first encounter with her I learned that she is a very funny person. She is so full of life, and always has good advice to offer to any situation. Michele has a very unique laugh that I feel in love with the first time I heard it. It is sort of a cross between a twitter and a belly laugh which is very amusing to hear.
Michele is a short woman of maybe 5’3”. Well, I consider this height short. Her brown hair is always kept in a short hair style. She is pudgy, and she always moves her pointer finger on her right hand to half time measure to any music she listens to. Michele also has an inspiring personality. Michele is able to talk to just about anybody and make them feel great and empowered to accomplish any task. In fact, if it was not for Michele I would never had gone to college to be an elementary teacher.
Since this first encounter Michele and I have grown close. Her husband Don and her have dubbed me as their unofficially-adopted-daughter. They have done a lot for me. They make sure that I have enough food in the house, and that I am clothed. Michele is a wonderful and open hearted person that I am great to have in my life.

This is like a net--and the mesh is too wide to catch the reader. Too many places where you slip away from the hard detail of writing: funny, full of life, good advice, inspiring, open-hearted. All those are set-up words, words that say, 'Here comes an example.' But you aren't following through!
Do you want me to rewrite and add the examples in?
If it's a piece you'd like to work on, yes, rewrite. If it feels like it would just be schoolwork and nothing more, then, no, leave it. You decide.
