My Family : My Brother

My oldest brother on my mom side name is Zentavueizs Cooley but we call him tay. He is 18 years old and goes to highschool. Me and my brother both love to pick on each other he loves to play football and baseball too.

My mother never had the patience for me. I remember her taking me to the doctors and said,” I think something is wrong with my daughter.” Come to find I was a child who has A.D.D and A.D.H.D, but for me to have these problems were the worse for her. I always wished for a loving mom, but this is the kind of mom I have. For instance, the time I got hit by a car and got berated, she said,” Why did you get hit by a car and why did you step out on the street?”

To begin, ten years separated my brother and I in age, so there's a good chance he did not enjoy me the way I adored him. I am sure I annoyed him. Especially when I always nagged him to play with me and invaded his space when he invited friends over. I could not help myself.  Moreover, my mom once told me that at the hospital when I was born, Brandon stormed out of the room crying because he did not want a baby sister. He could sense from the cry that I was a handful, and he wanted nothing to do with me.

At least from what I hear from my mom, she was very strict as a mother, but that isn’t really a bad thing. That just made her kids more enduring and hard working people later in life. Alternatively to her strictness, I have been treated with the utmost niceness by her. She’s always been willing to take care of my brother and me when my mom

My step-brother is named Carlos Jr (or C.J.), after my step-dad. He is 26 years old and is a writer for Starcraft and his own blog. My brother was in the navy for a little over 5 years and has traveled to many places because of it. He has been to Greece, Japan, Korea, and France. My brother is very intelligent, and is always one to joke around with friends and family. He is very mature about many things, but that doesn’t stop him from being hilariously childish at times, making him very easy to like. One interesting story about my brother is when he came home from the navy. We had a banner printed out that said “Welcome home C.J.” and his military photo next to it when we went to pick him up from the airport. He was so surprised when he saw us with the banner. Though we aren’t brothers by blood, C.J. has taught me that I should take time to simply enjoy life.

People say that siblings do not have an impact on each other, that they just fight all of the time. Well that is a lie. A sibling is a friend, family, and the one that is there when no one else might be. They are the ones that are there from the first breath, the first words, and the first steps. My brother, Donovan, is my rock. He is the one that I know that I can trust with anything. He is four years older than I am. He stands five feet and eleven inches tall. He is muscularly built with a military haircut. Usually he is wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Every now and then he will be in a golf shirt and khakis. He either will smell like his dog Rex or like his deodorant. His smile is one in a billion. When he talks, I hear a somewhat low voice with a hint of a country accent. He can be a bit of a smart-aleck. It seems like he constantly has to be moving. My brother is a guy that anyone would be lucky enough to know and have as their friend.

My brother is one of my best best friends. Growing up I idolized him and I always wanted to do what he did. Weather it was playing basketball in the front yard or wrestling around being kids. He is 7 years older than me but growing up that never mattered because although he did bully and tees me like a normal older brother he always came around to helping me or defending me. The gap in age wasn't a problem we got along as if we were the same age ever since i could walk. When my brother grew older and entered high school things started to change. Over the 4 years of high school he became the good looking, fit, smart, funny athlete that everyone loved. He was the captain of both the football and wrestling team. He had a 4.0 G.P.A and a personality that could light up a room.

I’m not sure if you’ve met my mother? She takes care of my three siblings and I she has taken care of us for a lot of years, and she did an excellent job of doing it. A lot of my family members and teachers say she is very kind, and I can agree on that because she wouldn't get mad often, but she will get mad. When she needs to.leaving my school. She always asks about how my day was and what I did in school that day. My Mom is brilliant If I ask her a question about something she will answer and she teaches me something new every day.she also makes the best food for my siblings and me when we ask for something specific to eat she makes it, and it tastes delicious.

My younger brother, Brian is a 7th grade sports fanatic and a loud mouth class clown. He is the best brother I could ever ask for and I love everything about him. All my friends and my girlfriend love hanging out with him when they are at my house. He loves the attention; he jokes around and makes everyone smile. I help him out as much as I can with school, friends, and most importantly girls. I can see how much of a positive influence I have on him and like to see when he respects the values and lessons that I have presented to him. He is a great kid and I would like to think that I am part of the reason he turned out the way that he did. Although we are two very different people we click better than most siblings. I value my relationship with him more than anything else in the

Following is my brother, Michael, he graduated high school but decided to work instead of going to college. Now he’s decided to continue college due to the fact work is too much. Like my sister, he has also helped me a lot with home work, though most times we spend laughing making jokes. He loves to joke around at times, but can be also stubborn. He is the sibling I’m most closest with and has also pushed me forward into furthering my education.

My dad is the oldest family member and has a list of great characteristics but I will just name a few. He is funny, nice, helpful, and really fun to be around. My dad's name is Tim and our birthdays are only one day apart. He is also the middle child with two siblings. Tim enjoys playing cribbage, golf, and watching sports like hockey, and football. One very special memory I have with my dad is going to the Minnesota Wild Game. My dad cares about me so

The quality that I admire the most about my father is how hard working he is. When my father was in high school he ran track. He worked hard everyday and night. He always fought the temptation of being lazy and giving into peer pressure. His hard work paid off and he made it to states his senior year. He also holds many records at his high school. If you ever walk through the hallway of Fairview High School, where the trophy case is you will see a picture of my father with his track records that still to this day have not been broken. His dedication has worn off on me with softball. Although, I do not possess any records, I still train hard in hopes of making my own records. I hope one day I can be the best, just like he was. My father will continue to make a positive impact on my life. His constant guidance and advice, always being there for me and his great qualities have influenced me and made me the person I am

I grew up in a household slightly different from the average household. This abnormal household showed me that no matter the family unit someone can have a positive influence in their life that will push them to achieve their goals. We lived in Maryland so the cost of living was high my parents had to work multiple jobs. This means my brother and I really had little to none parental or supervision growing up. I am only four years younger than my brother so I would hang with his crowd of friends rather than mine. In my household, my mother’s niece, Monet lived with us she is about ten years older than my brother. When my brother and I would wake up and I would be the only person in the house. I can remember waking up and smelling the freshly cooked waffles and bacon downstairs. Monet was my mother’s brother, daughter. Monet became so close to my brother Avery and I she was almost as if she was our sister. I can remember growing up and she would always say, “You don't have to take the route I took, its many more exits on the highway.” Even though I was young I was not blind to the fact of Monet role in the community and her neighborhood job I never judged her, she did what she had to do to make ends meet. It was an experience every day, or anytime being with Monet. She was so popular around Maryland it was almost like everywhere we went we received respect love. Now that I look back at the past, I see that Monet has taught me a lot that I know and live by today. I could

LIFELINE. Everyone has one, whether it be a pet, a partner, or family member. It’s what holds you down. In my case, it was my parents. I had a pretty great childhood growing up. I had an amazing mother whom I loved with all my heart. She was my rock, my everything. Always teaching me right from wrong. My father was spotty throughout my life, I’d see him every other weekend, and even that was on and off. However, I was always a major Daddy’s girl. He had always been my fun parent. Even though my father was never a very great role model, he was still my world. They both were. Unfortunately, when I was 13, disaster struck and I lost them both, physically and mentally.
