300 Words On Being An Only Child
Rachel Riggs

Being an only child is pretty cool don't get me wrong, but it also has its down sides. No, we do not get anything we want. Yes we tend to need more attention that most. No, I don't thing world revolves around me. Okay, so that last one might has been a lie...Begin and only child is kinda sucks though. You have to do all the chores you would usually share. You won't ever be ask to babysit. And most importantly, you don't have anyone to blame. don't get me wrong, Its great at times.

When Christmas rolls around more for you. And do you know how many scholarships there are for only children. Being an only child means you get to pick the pet, but it also means you take care of said pet. Your parents come to everything you are in, but they soon realize you actually suck at sports and make you practice with them all day. You don't have to share attention, but let me tell you if someone messes that up it can be hell on earth. You go from one extreme to another and that's not cool. You are the trial child, but you are also final child.

When it comes to getting older and going out with friends your parents are usually pretty chill about things because you never had an older sibling to mess things up for you, but sometimes then can be a little over protective because they have never had any other reason than that is was there first time. Sometimes being and only child can be cool. Some times it can really stink. But in all reality that's how it is in life. We grow from every little thing.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
