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

    I always thought I would never want a little sister, because of such a huge burden. But tables turned and I now have a god-sister. Ever since then me and her have gotten really close. I really enjoy her company, and she is just like my real sister. She is usually over at our house more then any of my friends come over. In a way I do take responsibility for her. She is around me a lot, and I know that I can't set a bad example. I think she might look up to me, and for that I feel responsible for her care.

    My sister is the individual I go to when I require somebody to converse with, the person who is dependably there and recognizes what to say. My more established sister has affected who I am by showing me the estimation of pride and diligent work and like whatever other more seasoned sister she has been a good example. She would wear something blue so there I was attempting to discover something near to that shading and style; even thought she would get distraught. I grew up seeing her desire for mulling over and buckling down. This taught me that through diligent work anything is

    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.

  • My Virtual Teen

    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.

Others see a model of perfection.  Don't get me wrong, my sister and I are close and have been inseparable since birth.  My mother has kept pictures of us ranging from the time we shared a playpen as babies to just recently at Leslie's graduation.  For seventeen years, we've shared every life experience imaginable, and we've dealt with the trials and tribulations that come with growing up.  But in September, she left home to attend the University of California at Irvine, leaving me to face life alone.  However, it gave me the opportunity to live life by myself as Ryan, instead of Leslie's little brother.

  • Article Analysis: Learning To Be Gendered

    886 Words  | 2 Pages

    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. For example, my name is

    To serve as a role model, basis for abilities comparison, and deeper understanding on how to support me. My older sister is sometimes the first person I go to when it comes to family matters or most matters in life (other than family). She has always been a positive model as we share similar thoughts when it comes to general things in life, as well a more unique aspect such as careers. I have a strong interest in the field of science, specifically physiotherapy. She successfully graduated McMaster University with a bachelor in science degree, and is now doing further studies to become a physiotherapist. She was the main reason that I attended The University of Waterloo for Kinesiology. I had similar interests in sports and science, in which she recommended kinesiology. Now, I am on headed in a same direction to becoming a physiotherapist. This ties in to the basis for comparison, in which I can proudly compare myself to my sister and have a friendly competition on our common goals of becoming a physiotherapist. Having the same family and same upbringing, my sister has a deeper understanding on who I am, and would give me better advice than most people in my life. We share the same family values, and understand the conditions that we were brought up in that no one else will be able

  • The Most Important Event in My Life

    It all started out when my very shy, self-conscious sister didn’t really fit in well. She was 16, chubby and had very few friends. One day Becky’s best friend Debbie introduced her to 19 year old guy name John. Becky and John hit it off very well and started dating by the next week. They spent all their time together; he came to our family events but was very quiet and didn’t really talk to anyone besides my sister. Over the next couple of months, my family and I saw a change in Becky. She was losing lots of weight and we questioned her and she just claimed she was on a diet, so we thought nothing else of it. We also noticed another change in Becky, she not only lost about 30 pounds in a couple of months, but every time we talked to her she had this look on her face that she was about to fall asleep, or at least pass out. She then proceeded to claim that she was tired, so again there was nothing we could do.
