My Loving Sister
My sister, the painfully abrasive yet equally engaging creature, the one who irritates me to the point of absurdity, is the one who I am closest to in the world. Having a little sister changed my life forever because she has brought happiness to me, has motivated me, and has also been there for me as a best friend. Just because we are family doesn’t mean the relationship we have is perfect, but neither do I take it for granted. My sister is half of me, my secret keeper. She turns my whole world upside down in a matter of minutes, but what sister doesn’t? My sister is the reason I am the person that I am today, outgoing, and I wouldn’t change that for anything. My little sister is one of my many joys she brings so much happiness into my life when I feel as if my life couldn’t get any worse. She has always been the big ball of fun in our family, meaning she will come up with the funniest things and always has us laughing. One of the things she does is that she will hold her nostrils together with her fingers then let go. It will stay like that for as long as she can hold her breath, and it makes her looks so funny I can’t even describe it. Sometimes, she is really quiet and just seems sad, so I try to make her giggle like she does to me when I am going through rough times. My sister has changed me from looking at all my problems negatively. Not only am I teaching her along the way, but she’s teaching me as well: to live life happy, positive, and smiling. Although we have our ups and downs, we still manage to get over the bickering we have and still love each other in the end. I never really thought that I would grow to love her like I do now and get along with her as well as we do. We understand each other so well, even if we have no words to say. Together, we are one. She gets under my skin and makes me go insane, especially when she goes into my room, messes with my straightener, and just leaves it on the floor when she knows to put it back on the hook, but

    Both of my sisters are loud, talkative, confident, extroverted people. I, however, being more grounded, focused, and quiet, was curious to find out what it was like away from their shadows. Their strong personalities, so much alike, tended to overshadow my own, but I never allowed them to define me, and they helped me to find my independence. Living with them taught me how to be flexible, diplomatic, and easy going. I learned that I had to chose what was really worth fighting for. As I began to separate myself from them I began to discover joy in my own things. For a while when I was younger I climbed. Climbing was always my thing, I never had to compete against my sisters to be the best, in my family I was just granted the best climber. I found that as I seeked new things, places and people I found freedom to be…

    Frank Bruni’s experience with his family in “The Gift of Siblings” is typical of most American’s. He makes a strong case for the significance of having close relationships over a lifetime. For instance “Siblings are the only relatives and perhaps the only people you’ll ever know, who are with you through the entire arc of your life” (Bruni 21-22). Frank Bruni believes that your siblings are with you during the most important phases in your life. They’re there during and a part of your fondest memories while growing up and finding yourself. Your siblings follow you throughout life, seeing and supporting important mile stones and challenges.…

    No word in the dictionary could explain my relationship with my sister. Paige, not only are you my sister, you were my first friend. We have been through a lot together, and through it all you have become my best friend. There's no one in the world quite like her. But as her sister, I see her a little differently. Most people see her as sweet Paige, but I know her true colors. As most of you know, my sister is going to be graduating college in December. She's probably one of the most intelligent people you…

    The bond of sisters is a very rare and special bond. Sometimes it is hard to like one’s sisters but that doesn’t mean one doesn’t love them. It’s ok to think to yourself how much you dislike a certain quality of your sister but if someone else dares comment you are ready to defend her. Sisters are not always the same. They each have their own characteristics, styles and personalities. One thing is for sure, they are the only ones that truly know your family past, because they lived it too. I once read a quote about sisters that I found very interesting. “Sisters are different flowers from the same garden.” This quote could not be truer for the McGrath sisters. In the McGrath garden three beautiful and unique flowers bloomed; Lenny, Meg and Babe.…

    Life Growing Up

    While growing up, I don’t remember too much of my early years. All I can remember is that my mother passed away when I was around four or maybe five years old. I didn’t know my father, but heard of him sometimes. I have one blood sister that I know of, but don’t really know anything about her. However, I can say that I was adopted into a big family that raised and took care of me. Growing up with my new family, I learned how to cook, plant vegetables, clean and take care of myself. My sister on the other hand, was living with another family at that time.…

    One thing that really intrigues me a lot is its title. It made me think about why it is called “The Other Sister”. When I heard it (the title), I supposed that the protagonist is an illegitimate child. Then as I watch, I realized that I was wrong with my presumption and I ponder that it’s more far from but deeper than that. I remembered her lines, “Yes, I can if you will give me a chance, mother,” which drew me to a fact that more often than not, our parents worry too much to the point of impeding our capacity to grow. For me, she struggles a lot of being alienated inside her family – when she felt at first uncomfortable with them, when they sent her away to a far special school, and when they still can’t fully accept (in denial of) her disability. Alienation because they seem can’t hear the voiceawhich cries aloud within her, can’t feel the hunger in her heart and can’t see the real her. They want to view her the person they want her to be. It might be…

    My Dear Sister

    You are finally here, my dear older sister. I haven’t seen you for years; you still look young and energetic. I want to know everything that has happened to you ever since that day our father passed away. I feel bad about everything that has happened ever since I left, I don’t know what you have been through but I am deeply sorry for making you endure it on your own. You have no idea how much I have to tell you, my life has been drastic and painful, finally someone is here to listen to me. You do look beautiful; you look so healthy my dear sister. As you talk about your past right now I am reminded of my actions long ago. You keep on telling me that I am going to reproach you sister and I don’t know what you mean. But I believed at that moment the best thing I could do for myself and the family was to leave and spare the others, I believed that if I left everything it would have been better for you! I am glad that you’re here right now but you’re telling me that we lost Belle Reve? How could this even happen? Do you know what I had to go through ever since I left? No you don’t, you don’t have any rights to be getting mad at me right now. I too lost a father the same day you lost yours; I too suffered the days that you suffered just in a different way. How dare you disgrace the place that I deeply care about? Yes, I am married to someone who is in the under-class, is that a problem? Why am I not talking? It’s because you’re babbling on about what happened with your life! I am not a quiet person and also, Stanley is an amazing man. I wouldn’t be here without him; he has supported me enough so that I can be standing here right now. I know that you weren’t expecting to find me in a small house like this, all broken and trashed but this is who I am at the moment. I miss the Belle Reve, I miss the presence of our father and mother. I too feel lonely as much as you do. I am a human being and I also have feelings just like yours. I try to understand as much…
