7 Reasons Why Having Siblings 7+ Years Older Is The Best
Alexis Alicea

1. You made me tough.

Being the youngest, I was always picked on by you both. Now that I am older, I feel as though I handle this better because I had practice from you guys. I don’t really let things like that get to me. You picking on me taught me how to stick up for myself. Thanks for making me tough.

2. Hanging around with teenagers while being a child makes you very mature and knowledgeable

I knew a lot of things kids at the age of 6 didn’t have knowledge of. When I was younger and even now, my peers consider me mature for my age. I owe that to you guys because you treated me a lot older than I actually was and taught me many things.


3. Good music taste at a young age.

Having siblings multiple years older than you is quite the perk. While other little kids were listening to “Old McDonald Had A Farm”, I was listening to the latest rap, thanks to my older siblings.


4. I learned from your mistakes and good decisions as well.

I saw your mistakes first hand and realized that I personally did not want to go through that. That being said, when something positive happened to you guys, I took note and kind of followed in your footsteps. You guys taught me a lot through your mistakes and your good decisions. You even give me advice on things you've experienced.


5. I automatically had bodyguards.

If anyone every messed with me, you would always stick up for me or teach me how to stick up for myself. Even though it would be embarrassing for me to have my siblings help me fight my battles, you never let anyone get away with picking on your little sister.


6. We can get into huge fights but talk about what bothers us and get over within a couple of hours.

I know each one of us has gotten in big arguments with each other. Sometimes I would think we would never recover from it. But we always do. We talk about it and apologize. Then later make jokes about it.


7. The biggest support system a little girl could ask for.

You two are always there for me. I always tell you about my latest achievements and it seems like you are more excited that I am. I’m glad I can make you guys proud.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area.

We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
