THEA TURNER

I’ve known Thea for years and years, and every day I realise what an inspiration she is. This girl has the unknowing tendency to make everyone around her want to become her best-friend. It’s so admirable how she can turn any dull situation around completely, because her laugh will light up every single room and quickly spread like wildfire until everyone is rolling over. I know for a fact that there’s a winding list of things that makes Thea such a big inspiration, but one thing that cannot go by without emphasis is the devotion and commitment she has. What I mean by this is that anything Thea genuinely puts her mind to, or that she is passionate about, she will put in her 510%. That comes across as a big cliché, but I’ve seen her pull all-nighters for an exam she might have been stressed about, or rehearse her Theatre performances until she was clearly topping our class. It’s very unusual to stumble across someone who is so driven and compassionate – she has such a big heart and she keeps the people she loves very close, that it’s so hard to ever imagine my friend circle, or even my life, without her.
