Personal Narrative: Zoe Needham
Today November 10th 2016 I, Savanah Needham hereby declare myself independent from comparing myself to my sister Zoe Needham. It is necessary to do this to move forward and proceed to a successful life.
I deserve as a human being to stand alone and to not be compared to anyone other than my own self, my own accomplishments and loses. I have the right to make my own decisions and become my own person and the best version of myself. I declare this independence not only for myself but for younger siblings all over the world to let them that we are not what our siblings are, and that is acceptable.
We as younger siblings will often be compared to our older sibling. I have to deal with past teachers that expect the absolute best from me because Zoe Needham was a star student. I have to be pushed by my parents to make sure that I am keeping up with Zoe's scores and test grades. I am expected to make and have friends that are as good and kind as Zoe's friends. Also, I need to be as pretty and in shape as Zoe because no one wants to be the ugly little sister. …show more content…
I have tried to tell boys that I may not have Zoe's body but I have a different body shape/ type and I am okay with that. I have told everyone that I am a good student but I am not a perfectionist, therefore, I will not perish if I get a B on my report card.
I Savanah Needham declare independence from the comparisons of my sister Zoe Needham by my teachers, my parents, and my peers. I commit to this declaration for my mental health and for a long happy life of creating myself without comparing it to someone
