Sophie

There is a girl who I volunteer with at church called Sophie King. Although, four years my junior, speaking 4x more in a day than most people and still a school girl, there is something interesting about this young woman.

She has a charisma which I very seldom see in other people. It is not one which people use in a fabricated way to hide their insecurities. No, this charisma is a very genuine gregarious type, that not many people possess and few people can ever consistently carry. Many people tire of being so outgoing. Not Sophie King though. She thrives in environments where one needs to have an ability to win over the hearts of people very quickly. Perhaps more amazingly, her personality can maintain, grow and develop those friendships.

My sarcasm always seems to come out thick and fast when I'm around Sophie. Perhaps I'm inclined to do so, knowing that a rather amusing comment will be fired right back, done in typical Sophie fashion. She's good at taking a joke and is always quick to dish them back, whenever the opportunity arises. No person is more pleasant to joke with than Sophie. Sometimes it is hard to determine whether she is being serious or cracking a sly under the table joke only she is in about.

A few quick facts about Sophie King

She likes to joke around
She has named her phone
Likes to let you know her Tribe group, has beaten your one in the points competition
Goes to Macdonalds late at night or when she has nothing else to do. (Employment future there perhaps?)
Friend with the other legendary Year 7 leader Tammy Palm
Randomly visits the team leaders house.

Ladies and Gentlemen, that is Sophie King for you.
