My Best Gift Essay

In the year 2008, I received my first elf for Christmas. Her name was Snowflake and she appeared with my brothers’ elves and my mom’s old childhood elf, Duende. She’s so beautiful with her velvet green dress, red and white striped tights with green velvet elf shoes with tiny bells. Every year after Thanksgiving, my elves would arrive. I have about twelve elves because I take such good care of them that Santa sends me his elves. Our family elves are extremely mischievous and do tricks every day during the Christmas Holidays. It is my favorite time of the year. Every morning as soon as I wake up, I run downstairs to see what mischievous things my elves have done. They are very smarting, witty and extremely creative. Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love Christmas carols, decorating the house with my mom, baking cookies for Santa, the smell of pine from the Christmas tree and opening presents Christmas morning.

It was nearly 2 a.m. on Saturday, April 3, 1999, and my parents were about to go to the hospital. Five years later my memory of that day hasn't faded. At thirteen and a half, I would soon become what I'd always dreamt of being: a big sister.

I had always, always, always, always, wanted an little brother. If I could have one thing, anything, I would have wanted my mom to give me an little brother. One day my cousins adopted an cute little girl. I hate my cousins, by the way. They have way too many kids and they always smell like pee and baby puke. Once I saw Jonicia (The oldest, who is an judgmental bratt) hold a baby, the babby puked and she rubbed it into the carpet. EWW! Anyway,

Ever since I could remember I wanted an “er” (that’s the word I used instead of sibling before I knew what sibling meant)being an only child I didn't have many kids to play with,which is one of the reasons I wanted a sibling.Little did I know I was actually going to get one.

This was an event that I still recall vividly. I was then only 12 years old and when I saw my brother for the first time, I became the happiest big brother in the world. I was the only son of my parents and when I heard that I would have another sibling, I got very excited and I was counting days when this brother of mine will come. I speculated and imagined lots of things I would do with my sibling. On the day that my brother came in to the world was one of the happiest days of my life.

Having siblings can be both a good thing and bad thing. In “Seven Ways Your Siblings May Have Shaped You” By Lindsay Lyon the article was about different situations that I or anyone of us may have experienced when having a sibling in life. “How Our Siblings Shape Us” by Naomi Schaefer Riley is about both the good and bad things about having a sibling and what I or you might or may have experienced. Whether you have an older sibling or a younger sibling, scientific facts, as well as personal experience, show that having a sibling can strongly affect you in the long run. Some of the things that can or may strongly affect me, you and your siblings are success, relationships, and rivalries.

After talking to Angela Figi, i felt finally we were going to have the family i never had and prayed for. The day he was born was amazing and a bit scary. Like most woman

Growing up with a wonderful family to support me and have my back in everything I do, has made me become the person that I am today. I have two brothers; one of whom is my twin. Having someone to share your life with you while growing up is truly something unique and special. Going to a new school or trying to make new friends can be really tough, but when you have someone that is always by your side, it makes it easier. My brother and I have done everything together, which has shaped me to be the person that I am today.

Growing up, my sister and I were close. We shared a room together till the day she moved out. She was my go to girl. She knew all my little secrets and much more. She walked me through the beginning

Whether it's a new sibling, a niece or nephew, or even your own baby, everything just dramatically changed. Having a newborn is a lot of work and I found that out after my big sister had the baby. I didn't know that this baby would make such a huge difference in even my life. Four months ago on May 11 of 2014, my sister gave birth to her first born child, Zoey Jane. It was a very happy and exciting time for everyone, especially for myself as I was finally an aunt. When my sister finally got to go home and stay home after many medical things came up, I stayed to help her for a week because she had had a cesarean section and couldn't quite do everything she needed to do. Being there for my sister was a great thing, but it made me realize just how much work having a newborn child was. It was nonstop labor for the baby and her mother, much of which I became part of. Even though my sister was 27, she was having a very hard time keeping up with Zoey and all of her needs. Seeing my big sister struggle was a wake up call for me. Realizing how hard it actually was having a new baby, made me want to make better choices and not have a child until I knew it was the right time, the right time being when I could handle a baby, physically, emotionally and also financially. At the moment I have no desire to have a child. In fact, having my first child at the age of 27 doesn't seem so bad after

Finally, I saw her. My little sister, Erin, had been born. When I first saw her, I smiled. From ear to ear spread my grin as I ran up to my mother who was holding her.

She was the first in the family to go off to college as well graduate. A great accomplishment for a family of first generation immigrants in the US. This Allowed us to believe that this country was truly a land of opportunity. My main recollection of my sister was watching her go off into her room for days to study for her medical test. What focus and determination she possessed. I was so impressed with her work habits and just knew that if she was going to be a nurse that I wanted to become a doctor. Her study habits was something truly to be emulated. I recall her taking me with her on her dates where I was able to see how to treat someone as well as how to just enjoy good times with friends. Her wedding was the first sibling wedding that I went to as well as being included in it. From watching her marriage and even hanging with her and her husband in the summers. I was able to witness the intricacies of saving up for a house and witnessing the fruition that comes from planning and budgeting. I was able to learn a great deal from my sister that I was able to incorporate into my own family and for that I’m so

Ever since I was a kid I’ve wanted to have a sibling. I remember seeing other siblings interact while I was wishing I had somebody to call my little brother or sister. Little did I know that soon my wish would come true.

I thought myself to respect all people even if i didn't like them but still had aspect them and saw everyone as equal to each other and not have one dominant the other. What i am saying  I know how it feels to have more limitation based on who you are. I know where they’re coming from. But overall having siblings had made more laughter, more learning opportunities and learning from their mistakes, and most all forever lasting friendship. I am very thankful to have family and friends to encourage me in my goals on what I want do and who I want to become.
