To my little sister,

Being a big brother is one of my best accomplishments.

Having a little sister is most likely one of the best things that's ever going to happen to me. Although she's four years younger than me, I have learned so much from her, and I don't think I would be the person I am today without her. For example, I have learned the right way to treat all women because I would hope that some lucky guy out there would treat my sister the same way. First, though, let me explain what it's like being a big brother to someone who is not only your family but also your friend.

Your needs come second.

My mom always told me how important it was for my other siblings and I to look out for each other. But, when it came to my little sister, we always made sure she was OK first. Being not only the youngest, but the only girl out of three boys, made her the princess she is today. She always get taken special care of because without her, I don't think my family would have nearly as much joy as we do today. She's the light in our family that is always shining because nothing gets her down. Of course, she has her days when she's struggling with things, but even then, she never fails to make everyone in my family smile.

She's my role model.

Even though she's four years younger than me, my sister has taught me so much about life. I have learned how to be patient with people, see other viewpoints, and I have definitely learned to be a good listener! I think the most important thing I've taken away from the bond I have with my sister is knowing I can't be as rough and harsh with all of the other women who may come and go in my life. I've always known that women have every capability of a man, but my sister reinforced the idea that women can literally do what any man can, and I find that truly inspirational.

So, Amihya, I would like to thank you one last time for being my best friend, the best little sister and a role model to your crazy, older brother. I hope you continue working hard for whatever you hope to achieve because I believe you will be extremely successful in whatever you choose to pursue in your life. I'm so glad we have the amazing bond that we have, and I wouldn't trade it for a thing in the world!

Thank you for being the best person in the world.

Love,

Your big brother
