How I Became A Big Sister Analysis

I was born in Kaiser Permanente at night. My mom said that my aunt drove her to the hospital. During that time my dad was at work. My mom said that I took the longest to be born and that I was the hardest to be born. My mom didn’t know my gender so it was a surprise when they found out I was a girl. I weighed about 7 pounds and I was about 20 inches tall. She also said that i was a clean baby and that I had smooth skin. She was happy when I was born but it wasn’t very emotional when she first held me because she already had 4 children before me. When my mom found out that she was pregnant she told my siblings so it was no secret. She told me that my dad had chose my name.

The next four days in the hospital allowed me to regain myself, and I remember my mother and father visiting me filled with

During the summer my family and me went on vacation to mexico to see my grandma at her house it took us 2 days to get to her town is mexico when we got there is was 11 at night my uncle opened the garage door to let us in when we got off the car my grandma opened the door to let us in her house she gave everyone a hug the her and my mom started to cook food for everyone.

The next day my dad showed me around the town he grew up in where his other family members who lived there, and his aunt who owns a store on the corner of the street. When

When I woke up my grandma was cooking again I went to the table and talked to her for a little. The my other cousins came because my grandma had to babysit them they ran to the table and said hi then they played with my sister and my cousin that lived in that house. We stayed in Colorado springs for one week then on the second to last day we all went to my uncle's house and everybody in my family was there to visit everybody before they leave. When we were there they had food but before I ate I was watching the Denver

Kate has cancer and she is rapidly getting weaker and dying. This is the focal point revolving the entire story of this family. Even though the family seems to have a solid attachment to one another, as the story went on, it seemed like the family was worsening in regards to unity. Having a positive attachment amongst each other at all times assists with minimizing issues, and it is much easier to find solutions to any problems or challenges (Cassidy and Shaver, 2008, p.

Everything is perfectly fine, everything is great, then one day it all comes crashing down and shattered pieces are left. My life would never be the same but I guess change is for the best and it forced me to become the person I am today. It’s rough to be the oldest child, especially when your mom is diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and you have 3 younger sisters that look to you for comfort when their mom can’t be there. When the cancer is spread throughout your moms body doctors can’t just get rid of it no matter how badly you wish they could. Rounds of chemotherapy only slow it down, yet it’s still there a lurking monster waiting to reappear at any given moment. Nothing can even begin to describe the fear I felt, and still have to deal

After my mom came inside and brought in all her stuff and said hi. She told us to sit down. She told us she did not know if our aunt Mary was going to make it because she was not doing very well. First thing that went through my head was all the memories my family had with her and her family. The 4th of july, Christmas, getting our christmas tree, going up north every year and always going to their pool in

When my sister had her baby it made me realize I had more responsibility, I had to be more helpful, and mature faster than your normal teenager. It made me realize that I had to grow up and start helping around the house in order to help my sister with her baby.

A few days ago, my older brother and I were sorting through old family photos and found a picture of us from when we were about five and six years old. We were smiling. Just two kids full of life and no idea of what was to come.

many years ago it was my birthday and as i was walking to my auntie house, there was a women called sherry. she had stopped me and she wanted to know what my name was, and so when i told her she said that she has a granddaughter that name and then we just kept talking and then when i got done talking to her i called my mom to tell her that i was on my way over my auntie house, and so when i got there she was there and my grandma had called she wanted to talk to me, she said “guess what i got u for your birthday” i said a tablet she said how u know because i been wanting a tablet for a long time and i been telling u that i been wanting a tablet. i told her that i was very excited. when i got home my cousin had texted me she wanted to know if

I went into the hospital on February 15, 1991 at 7am and they popped my stitched and made me walk the hall for 8 hours to see if I was going to have any type of labor pains, but nothing happened so they did an emergency c-section. Due to complications, no one was allowed in the birthing room. Your father remained in the waiting room with brother, grandmaw and grandpaw, and your nanny. I honestly didn’t prepare for your birth due to the fact that I was on strict bed rest and your father was busy working and tending to your brother so life was pretty hectic. We just did what we had to do in order to get by. In fact you didn’t even have a nursery because we didn’t have the time. I couldn’t leave the house to pick what I wanted, so all we had was a baby bed in our bedroom until we were able to get situated. The only medication and procedures involved during your childbirth was an epidural and a c-section. My whole pregnancy consisted of

This year of Big Brothers Big Sisters was not quite what I anticipated and it was a lot different from my first year of being in the program. I was able to continue to get to know Tatum and I got to know a new little, Lexie. I enjoyed watching them grow throughout this year and I enjoyed getting to help them. I got to learn a lot about myself and also a lot about my two littles from spending time with them. They helped me realize certain things that I am not sure I would have learned without their help.

When we got in the room I was told I will be given numbing medicine through an injection in my lower back. I felt a little pinch and then before I knew it my whole lower half was completely numb. I was still in and out of sleep, I slept through most of the C-section and exactly at 4:44am my son was officially born and he was 5 pounds and 4 oz and 18 inches long and he was healthy. They let me look at him and in that moment I fell in love I was now a mother. It was the greatest feeling in the world and I was happy to have experienced such a beautiful moment. I was brought back to my room and the doctor came in to congratulate me "Congrats on your baby boy he is beautiful and healthy and everything will be just fine with you and him" she said with a big smile on her face

June 8th, 2008 was the day my whole life turned upside down. It was a hot and humid Sunday afternoon. My blond, curly headed six year old self was taking a nap on the couch in our living room with a huge window that looked out over our front yard. I used to love to stand at that window during the summer and look at the bustling neighborhood. My mom and little sister were taking a walk around the neighborhood, while my dad was in our garage tinkering with something.

We were on our way to Green Bay, the place I was born. We love going to Green bay because it's where i was born obviously and it's where most of our family are living right now. Going to green bay is like a birthday present to me because i rarely see my cousins. We finally arrived to green bay because i'm familiar with the cities that are there for example when we arrive there a huge circle of grass in the middle of the road and you have to drive all the way around it to get to the other lane. We called my auntie and we were waiting for her to call back so we can go over to her house to spend the night in for a couple of days. After a while we got her call and she said she was ready for us so then we went over
