Growing up I have always had someone I could count on, someone to talk to, and someone to be mean to, even though she knew I was kidding. She is the person I can be blunt with, that I can cry with, laugh with, and do stupid stuff with. I have been so blessed to have been given the sister that I have.
Growing up in elementary school with a big sister went kind of like this.
Second Grade: I see my sister in the hallway. I get so excited, but she is embarrassed and pretends that I don't exist.
In middle school, I was very annoying but
Seventh Grade: I thought I was so cool because I was a cheerleader. I hung with the wrong crowd, and my sister was, again, annoyed by me. But overall, my sister was still there for me when I needed her, gave me advice constantly, and showed me how to become a better person.
In high school, we became BFFs.
Sophomore year: I would constantly third-wheel my sister and her boyfriend because I never had one of my own. I was interested in her life and I wanted to be a part of it. She was constantly going out due to the fact that she had just started college and was trying to figure out how to manage her time better. We became very close and started to do stuff together all the time. Having someone to talk to whenever is a big blessing.
My sister is one of my favorite people and she always will be. No matter how much she takes my clothes without asking, leaves my bedroom light on, or makes me mad when she won't wake up for church, she is still my sister and I will always love her no matter what.
We are best friends and I know that I can count on her for anything. She gives me the best advice and can always make me laugh. She has a very strong influence in my life and I look up to her a lot.
