I Am An Older Brother Of The House

I grew up in a family of four. My family consists of my father, mother, brother, and me. I am the oldest sibling in the family. When my brother was born I was almost two; I finally had a role. I was not just the toddler who had every day to himself. There are several benefits and difficulties of being the oldest child. Being the older sibling is exceptional, but it also creates a challenge in my life. Being the older sibling is an unchangeable fact. One of the benefits of being the older sibling

old single child I was very adventurous and curious. I always wondered how things were made or why they happened. I tried to understand everything about my parents, house, and school. It was all so interesting to me. I liked to learn and ask questions. I love my mom and dad. I was so used to counting on them and being with them all the time. Most of the other families in the neighborhood had numerous kids. All the people in the houses in my neighborhood were young and lively. When I saw kids with

Growing up in my family I was the first born of two children. For me this meant that I was the ultimate guinea pig for my parents, and therefore how I was raised was much different from how my younger brother was raised. I notice, now that I am older, there were many differences on the parenting techniques that were used to raise us both as individuals. Ultimately this caused my brother and I to be totally opposites. To this day I feel like birth order plays a large role in my family, and sometimes

My Siblings I have 3 siblings; two brothers and one sister. My sister “Isha-27”, Little brother “Ishmael-10”, and my older brother “I.B-18”, we all grew up and spent the most of our lives with each other. I think I’ve always known that I was a little different from my brothers and my sister, but it's okay because we are all different in many ways. Now my story on how it's like living with 3 siblings with personalities are all different and how we all like certain things but we all manage to live

The last day I saw my family was a day I’ll never forget. There I was a stout 12-year-old boy sitting on the back porch on a cool October evening. The wind blew my brown messy hair across my forehead as the birds sang. Fall was always my favorite time of year as a kid not too hot not too cold; you could spend the whole evening playing outside. As I watched the autumn leaves sway on the trees completely distracting my young mind to what was coming. Little did I know that would be a day forever haunting

tears and grief, and full of questions… After eleven, it has improved. However, I still ask, “Why?” “Why did it have to be a RARE cancer?” “Who has even heard of nasal cancer?” “Why did he die to a disease he spent his life seeking to cure?” In May of 2004, scientist Han Mo Koo passed away from NK-T cell lymphoma and my life changed forever. I am always despised to talking about my father in essays in this way, because I ask myself and my

children, I know from experience how the family installs our core values and personality traits. My oldest sibling is sixteen years older than me and my closest sibling is around nineteen months older than me. Being a part of a big family can be challenging, but it is also extremely rewarding. I learned a variety of life skills that most people my age are not exposed to until much later in life. With a sixteen-year age gap between me and my oldest sibling, I learned how to share when I was very young

always had to struggle and fight and that’s made me strong. It’s made me who I am” Over the summer I re-watched my favorite childhood cartoon: Avatar the Last Airbender. After completing an AP English class, I couldn’t help but notice the overwhelming amount of parallelism between my own life and character. If you’ve never seen the animated masterpiece, please bare with me as I describe the very critical realization I was lead to (and consider investing in the dvd boxset). As a child, my favorite
