My Childhood - Original Writing

All little sisters look up to their big brothers, and I was no exception to the rule. I remember watching my brother Brandon, cheering him on at his high school football games, golf matches, and basketball tournaments. I was only six or seven at the time, so of course I wanted to be just like him. I proudly yelled his name in the bleachers, dressed in his big cotton sweatshirts. My little eyes saw Brandon as a superhero out there, on the courts, fields, and everywhere I saw him. I have forever held that notion in my mind, ultimately holding him on a high pedestal. Even though I regarded him as my utmost favorite human on earth, something happened that changed me and him.

If someone were to ever tell my younger self that I would one day be one of five siblings, I would have never believed them. Unquestionably, my siblings are an enormous part of who I am; aspiring me to become an intelligent and an affectionate human being. Life doesn't always hurl obstacles in your way, but when it does, it can turn out to be completely disparate and even fascinating from the original thought. At the ripe old age of eleven years old, I was expected to step up to the plate and take care of my new adopted siblings, David and Alysa. Countless responsibilities, circumstances, and a world of authority and gratitude have shaped me along the way due to that one event. Indeed, I am grateful that my parents went through with the adoption because even though I had an impact on my adopted siblings, they have propelled me to become an exceptional brother, son, friend, and student.

From reading “True Notebooks”, I chose to write about Kevin Jackson, while reading I was able to observe his personality. He is calm, likeable, and easy going once he opens up. At juvenile hall he minds his own business and is a messenger. Also he wants become a chef once he is out and likes to help out in the kitchen at juvenile hall. Kevin is well liked by authority figures such as Mark, Janet, and Mr. Sill. Growing up, Kevin did not have a positive childhood. In fact, his childhood was shocking and most likely this has affected his behavior. When Kevin was nine years old he experienced traumatizing event, both of his parents dying in a car accident. When he was in elementary school he had a hard time coping with his event. After experiencing

My older brother went off to California to work while my younger brother stayed with my grandparents in our hometown and I was here in Texas continuing my education. We have built a strong relationship after realizing we only have each other. We have also received great help from both sides of our parents’ family. Even when we weren’t close to our father and we did not receive

I grew up with five brothers – Peter, Chris, Sean, Kyle, and Riley. When I was younger, I always wanted to be like one of my brothers. I wanted to be like Peter who dropped everything to follow his dream

Brothers and sisters will always look out for you in those tough hard times. It was funny when the Driscoll twins fought over the last cookie before their game. Almost every time my sister and I are in room together we will fight over the TV or almost anything else. This has changed me because I have learned to not fight with my sister every time someone yells at us.

Many people don’t understand how strong a connection between twins or brothers can be, I’m a good example. My sister is two years younger than I, even tho we were always together and my mom also dress us with the exact same thing, we were so close and now we actually try not to talk to each other. When I was in elementary school, I ge into an orchestra to learn how to play

Depending on close relationships, we quickly learned to confide in each other. We did chores as a team, participated in church youth, and made up our own games to keep us entertained in the back yard. We were constantly together, which we all hated then. Now, I look back and realize forming a close bond with my siblings is one of the greatest memories of my childhood. I never thought that my brothers would be some of the most important people in my life considering how much we would bicker, but now, I am beyond thankful for them.

While growing up, I was blessed with three siblings one older and two younger. My Dad was a military person with restrictive abusive values and I was held responsible for my younger sibling. Therefore, when they got into trouble my Dad would make me accountable for them. I received many punishments cause of my sibling.

When we were young we moves around a lot. I was always by his side so he wouldn’t feel alone until he made friends. Even though he never had problems with making friends in the places that we lived. When we moved to Towaoc he had a little harder time because the kids around here weren’t as friendly as the other places that we lived. Soon he found a friend and to this day they both continue to drive me crazy. They have both made me proud though and I know that I couldn’t ask for a better brother.

My family is always together, whether that is physically or mentally. When I was in sixth grade, there was a death in my family. I lost my big brother Ryan. Ryan was always there for us, whether we were playing football, fishing, or wrestling on the trampoline. He was an idol to all of us; he had everything, or so we thought… When we got the news that Ryan was no longer on this earth due to self-defeat, I was destroyed.

My big brother Tre has always been there to laugh with me. He has this personality that lights up a room when he walks in. He is always happy full of energy and full out crazy. Growing up with a brother was so fun. But I thought I was going to be forgotten when my mom had twins. I was somewhat forgotten but only by my parents but not by my big brother Tre. One thing I love about my big brother Tre is that both of us have this love and passion for

”No one is ever born into Life alone. Everyone has shared the bond of family, at least at birth, and for many people it is a bond that will follow them throughout life. For many people it is the most important bond of all.”

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.

My brother is not just someone I share blood with but someone I can rely on and look up to. Patrick, my seventeen year old brother, has been by my side since I was a little baby. My youngest memories are of Patrick and I running around in our backyard laughing. As he grew older, I began to look up to him. He was everything I aspired to be: intelligent, passionate, and athletic. Patrick always seemed to know what he wanted in life, and I admired how he chased down his goals. There were points in my life when I was very unmotivated, especially when I was seven years old. Insecure and unsure, I did not believe in myself from a very young age, and Patrick was there for me when no one else was. He made me believe in myself and my own abilities above anything else. I have my big brother to thank for finding the strength to persevere through my struggles and overcoming my obstacles.
