My sister was always the person I looked up to. Since we’re only two years apart when we were younger, we shared a bedroom together growing up. When we were growing up my sister and I were extremely close, we wore the same clothes and pretty much did everything together. There was a time I remember my third grade teacher asking me “Who do you want to be when you grow up?” I responded “Just like my sister.” Even as a young child my sister had a lot of responsibilities one of them was helping my parents raising me. My parents worked a lot while we were growing up; so at 12 years old she had to step up and helped raised me. She was also a straight A student with a 4.0 GPA. Being involved in many clubs and sports. She entered high school and remained in sports she made it to the high school softball team and I never missed a game. She was pretty popular and it was like almost like she knew everyone. The start of her junior year should would go to the Friday night football games with some of her friends. My family started to notice how late she started coming home and noticing that the change within her began. My sister was never the one to come off as a person or a bad student in school. …show more content…

After everything that has happen I find myself thinking how I can’t look at her as my role model anymore considering she hasn’t completely made a complete turnaround. So I started to venture on my own and make my own path instead choosing to follow in her footsteps so I’m in college today. My Sister is a strong and she was able to pull herself out of the negativity she surrounded herself in for the best. My Parents always told me to stay away from the things my sister had done. It would only ruin my life which I can agree with after all the change my sister made. She would only be met with challenges from having a record to still to this day being labeled as a gang

    Since she was my big sister, I wanted to be just like her and at often times I would mirror her image of wearing baggy clothes and trying to play basketball too. I believe my mother like most parents thought this was just a teenage faze until she realized my sister had chosen this as a lifestyle. Although my mother did not have an issue with the lifestyle, she did present an issue with the way my sister presented herself. I believe that once my mother realized her first born girl had chosen a different route from society's gender performance role, she began to pay more attention to my traits. I began to get my hair done at the beauty salon once a month, fresh manicures with colors like cotton candy and hot pink and dresses and skirts were purchased more often for me. Eckert and McConnell-Ginet inform us in their article, how names and clothing are a small part of the symbolic resources used to support a consistent ongoing gender attribution and how english names are gendered.

    956 Words  | 2 Pages

    My mother was a very well-tempered woman, who kept to herself. Like Suzette, I didn’t know much about my mother’s background, or a lot of the pain and hardship she went through until I was older. This is when I realized why my mother conducted herself the way she did, because of all the pain she had built up inside of her from her past. For example; it was very hard to get my mother to talk during emotional situations, she was always quiet and would just mostly stare at you in silence. My mother was born in Philadelphia on October 3rd, 1966. Diane was the oldest of her four siblings, and if it’s as common as I think older siblings tend to have it harder than the others because they have to set examples, their looked up to as the protectors, and are just assigned a lot of responsibility at a young age.

    She was my only support system and took on the responsibility of caring, disciplining, and raising me in ways that my mother could not. My older sister ensured that I completed my tasks at school and at home. Being only a year apart and aware that I was growing up right beside her, she made it her priority to do her best academically to demonstrate the importance of education[an aspect that we were not raised to value]. She was my inspiration to become college bound and to take advantage of the resources at my school. I learned how to be resourceful and utilize the outside programs to improve my academic performance to compensate for my high school’s inadequacy. The hardworking qualities that have been instilled in me by my older sister have helped me get into UCLA, but witnessing my mother struggle is what further motivates me to obtain a college

    Most would say that I have a bubbly personality or that I am a ray of sunshine. My sister on the other hand, at first would be described as quieter and keeps to herself. However, when you really get to know her she can talk a mile a minute and is super outgoing. My sister is as bright as a light bulb; her favorite subject is math and to her, chemistry is a piece of cake. I often find myself envying how school comes so naturally to her and sometimes I wish I could just steal her brains. When we were little we were super close. I remember we would always wake up at an absurd time on Saturday to play games or watch Disney Channel together. We were best friends and could never be separated. However, as we both got older, we started to grow distant and talked to each other less. We got in more fights and I thought she was getting meaner and that her personality was as hard as nails. I felt she was always too busy to talk to me or that she never cared about my feelings. On the contrary, my sister started to view me as a thorn in her side. She felt that I was constantly bothering her and that I was too young to understand or to be able to play with her. When she was in highschool and I was in middle school we barely saw each other due to different after school activities and different schedules. There was a time when we only talked in the car because that was the only time we saw each

    I have sisters and brothers, but was never raised with any of them. As the only child in the home I was spoiled rotten and was not too keen on sharing much of anything. You can imagine going to kindergarten and learning I had to share. I remember this quite well because it was a traumatic experience for a five year old. The older I got, the more entitled and selfish I became. I can look back on it now as see how I acted, but during that time I actually felt that way.

    Teen years are the most complicated and overwhelming years of a child's life. Every teen goes through different stages while they are in the transition in becoming into an adolescent. For the Virtual Teen program I had a teen daughter, she was very outgoing and social. She enjoyed trying new things and was very involved in school. She also did well academically, and was part of the gifted program at her school. She lives with both her biological parents and a younger sister. Her relationship with her sister was like any sister relationship, they had little arguments once in a while but where are able to easily resolve on their own. As she transitioned to her teen years, she went through many stages like puberty, school transition and experimentation on new things like alcohol. As she went through those stages, there was a lot of changes in her life like adjusting to her body as it changed though puberty and adjusting to a new enviroment while she transitioned to high school. Those changes became very familiar for me because as an adolescent I also went through those stages which made it easier for me to the choises that would help her to get through these difficult years.

    The kitchen is sweltering, like everywhere else in the house, so the ice melts quickly as I drop it into the pitcher of freshly brewed mint tea. A fly buzzes around my head, and I try not to flinch as I pour five glasses of the light green liquid. One is for dad, who is in the garden picking tomatoes, another for mom who is diligently preparing for tomorrow's birthday party, and one is for my youngest sister Rachel who is running around the neighborhood with her dog. I take a sip from one of the remaining cups and carry the last to my other sister, Anna. Though I have not heard from her in hours, I know she will be sitting in the same position I last saw her: reclined on the porch chair, feet rested on the railing, and mind deeply lost in her newest science fiction or fantasy novel.

    Ever since I can remember, my big sister Barbara has been my heroine, my role model and, when needed, my substitute mother. She's beautiful, sweet, intelligent, funny and loving. Whatever she did I wanted to do, and consciously or not I emulated her: from choices in men (she favored creative types: photographers, filmmakers and writers for her; writers and musicians for me), personal style (though my Afro was never a big as hers), taste in music and even career choices.
