Short Story Of My Siblings

Family is the most important aspect of student success, this is the unit that teaches children how communicate, have good/appropriate social skills, and problem solving skills and this could not be truer than with a special needs child, yet if that child has a sibling this can be to their detriment. Mary McHugh, author of the book Special Siblings writes that “I don’t know if that happy baby turned into that somber child because of my brother’s disability or because my parents’ marriage was almost destroyed by it,” showing how typically developing children are, many times, at a disadvantage in the family unit because their parents are pouring all their love and attention into the special needs child leaving the typical child deprived and alone

My family consists of my mom, dad, two sisters, and one brother. I am the youngest child of the family. With my siblings being a good deal older than me, I tended to feel left out when they got to do things that I didn’t. The age gap left me feeling like an outsider sometimes. As we grew older, the bond between us grew much, much stronger. I think of my siblings more like friends now. They are people that I can tell

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.

As the youngest of four siblings, it has put more pressure on me to do greater than them. My siblings were alike in the sense that they all had a dream of attending and graduating college, however was not the case in the long run. What they all had in common was that they encountered obstacles that led them further from what they knew was success. Within my four siblings, I have three brother and one sister. All of my brothers have attended college, however later dropped out due to self-doubt and finances. As for my sister, she decided to enroll in the army with the mentality that college was not worth the money.

Being the oldest sibling you need to be more responsible. Needing to balance out the immaturity that your sibling may have, and because they are not as mature as you are you need to be the “bigger” person and be more responsible and take on the responsibilities of a mature older sibling. For instance, I was in the car with my two younger siblings. I’m sitting in the front seat while they are in the back. My younger brother started to kick my chair. When I ask him to stop he began to mimic me. Now being the oldest out of the two I had to be mature and handled the situations maturely. For one thing, I had to set a good example for my brother who is also setting an example for my younger sister, so that would mean that I’m dealing with setting an example for both my younger siblings not just my younger brother. Therefore, I didn’t turn around and mimic him back or yell at him.

She picked my brothers and I up from school. It was cold, it was rainy. She ignored every question we asked the entire way there. We got to a big building where when we entered,

Mickey looked at the rules for this boat and was grateful that he had lost five pounds ever since being diagnosed with diabetes. His boat would float a little easier with having less weight to hold. The project had said to create a cardboard boat and paddles out of plastic, duct tape, and cardboard. While deciding on a basic structure for the boat, he has flashbacks from the Fourth of July. As Mickey thinks back to that glorious, hot dog filled day, he is reminded of himself barking endlessly at a passing dog on what he remembers being called a pontoon boat. The dog looked so peaceful to him. With all of those people on one platform easily balanced out by the large silver tubes on each side. Mickey wanted his boat to seem as peaceful and structurally

She would always tell me fantastical stories. Some true, mostly not. She would tell me about the parrot she had in her basement that could have entire conversations. Even though I’d been in her basement numerous times. Anytime I would mention this or ask to see it she would shrug it off and say “Ask Mom for

She raised me for a few years and she gave me a pretty good idea of family. She let me go to school and she would always show up to my school band concerts or any events that I was involved in. She loved my band concerts because I’d play the piano and she said that I’d remind her of her ex-boyfriend.

September 11, 2001: “Um, yeah, she’s kind of cute, but I don’t think she needs to come home with us. When are we going to give her back?” This was the day my mother broke the news that my sister Sarah was coming home with us forever—my world was changed. For months I had known that my mom was pregnant, and I was excited. I told my kindergarten teacher, principal, and guidance counselor that I would be delighted to have “one-thousand sisters!” However, for a year after my sister’s birth, I continued to ask when we would be returning Sarah to the hospital.

Even though youngest siblings always try to do what they can to not be compared to their siblings, being the youngest does not always have perks. We do not get as much attention like our older siblings do and we sometimes do not feel the same love the parents give to their first-born.

I come from a four-person family. My mom and dad have always been in my life therefore they are the people who raised me. After seeing my parents have a successful marriage, it has influenced me to want the same thing in life and having my first marriage be my last. I have an older sister who is 23. While growing up, me and my sister had a very close relationship. As we grew up, we started to drift apart. I learned a lot from being the youngest child. While being 3 years younger than my sister Taylor, watching her grow up and deal with situations taught me many personal life lessons. Watching her grow up taught me the good and bad things in life and helped me follow the right path. While going through school, I already knew what to expect when it came to the class description and the teacher just by having my sister go through it just a couple years before me. Even though being the younger sister, my whole life is all I know, I couldn’t imagine

Times were not always so funny with Tacha, but I never loved her any less. One day Tacha was in the back yard getting some fresh air. I recall attaching her to the chain and going back in the house. About 1 hour later, the neighbor was banging on my front door screaming, “Come get your dog, come get your dog, she’s chasing

I love my three sisters with my huge heart, but sometimes being the man of the house can be too much to handle, especially when my sisters think they are always right. I am an older brother to Macey and a younger brother to Kalee and Kelsey. Having three sisters and no brothers is harder than most think, but it can also have the greatest advantages. Annoying, emotional, and loving are just three of many qualities I believe best describe my sisters on a day to day basis and this can make for a fun, love-hate relationship with them.

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.
