 My Lil Bro.Yes He Is Full Of Humor And Games.Lol

“Throughout life, you meet many people. Some people you don’t like and try to avoid, but there are some people you like and try to get closer to. However, have you ever wondered which of the people in your life are significant to you? Well, I have met a lot of people moving from place to place, but the one person that has always been there for me no matter where I am is my older sister, Christin. Age wise, Christin is three years older than me, but when we were kids, we use to do everything together. We went to the same elementary school, we hung out with our friends together (because most of her friends had little brothers so she took me with her to play with their brothers, while she hung out with her friends), we did homework, watched television, and played video games together. Those were the good times but we also had some bad times. Sometimes I tried to get her in trouble because she got me in trouble and vise versa. She tricked me into giving her my saved money; when we argued she always out smarted me, and she wrestled me and I usually lost. Growing up, I misbehaved a whole lot in the beginning of elementary school, mostly at the YMCA after school. At the YMCA, I was always getting into fights with kids for some reason and I always got in trouble when I got home, with my dad and my sister. My dad usually punished me first then after my sister scolded me, making sure I understood what I did wrong. It was terrible, but that’s just the way she acted. She always told me the truth. Since our mom didn’t come to California with us, Christin some times took it upon herself to act like a second mom to me and my little sister. After a while I got tired of getting in trouble. As a result, I stopped acting bad and stopped always causing trouble for my dad at school so I stopped fighting. There were a couple of times after that that I almost got into some fights but my sister stood up for me so I didn’t have to. Around my early teen years (around ten through twelve years old), Christin started to tell me how the world really worked. She told me about rent, taxes, loans, and all the other things little kids don’t understand until they get older. She was one of the people who told me about the true costs of achieving my dreams. For instance if I wanted to be a doctor, she told me how long I’d be in college, what I’d have to do, and why I had to do it. I guess you could say she is really the person that put every into perspective for me to understand. Christin’s the truthful person in my family; she won’t sugar code things if you really want the answer. At times she can act cold and heartless, but I know she means well. A couple of years back she did some modeling and she did some acting with me. She always kept me down to earth. Even if I thought about being a little over self confident, she would bring me down a notch, just to keep me leveled. However, at times she could be a little bossy. She’d make me do her chores, fix her meals, make me entertain her, and then make me leave. Half of the time I felt like her butler but I knew that wasn’t going to last that way forever. A year and a half ago Christin finally left to go to college. I didn’t think I’d miss her that much but there’s a saying “You don’t know what you got until it’s gone.” It took a couple of weeks for me to understand that the saying is very true. I miss my sister being with me, and all the moments me, her, and the whole family made together that were great. But I had to let her go and make some new moments, I guess that’s life; you have to let go of some old things to get new things, and you have to keep moving or you’re never going to grow. On our way back from dropping my sister at her college, she left each person at our house notes little messages to keep with us while she was away. In mine, she told me to take care of my self and stay out of trouble. She also wrote me a quote saying “When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everyone will respect you,” and she wrote me a song. She calls every now and then to check up on us, but I know that she just really misses us. It’s just unfortunate that it took her to leave so I could actually realize how significant she really was to me. But its okay because I know I’ll always be there for her like she is always is for me. You can’t always pick your family; but I’m glad I didn’t have to, because I’m blessed with one that is made of many of the most important people that I have today.”
