    My second little sister named is Nidya Wulandari. She is eight years old, and she is a third grader students of elementary school at SDN 1 Merah Putih. She's my very beloved sister.

    Nidya Wulandari has two little brown eyes, sharp nose, small lips, and chubby cheeks which made her round face looks so cute. Her straight black hair is short and very smooth. She has fair skin that makes her look shiny. Nidya is also very photogenic. She loves to be captured, pose, and always looks good on the camera.

    The most characteristic thing about Nidya is her sincerity. She will sincerely give anything she has to anyone who needs it more than she does. It is an amazing thing for her age. That's why she has many faithful friends. She is also a cheerful little girl. She likes to smile and acts playfully. She seldom cries even when she falls down to the ground and her knee is bleeding.

    I like to play and talk with her whenever I have a spare time. Nidya gives me cheerfulness and inspiration. I hope she'll always stay the same until she's of age later.
