When I come across people who grew an only child, I often find myself wanting to express sympathy toward them. I never understood why some parents choose to only have one child, because I know I sure wouldn't have wanted to live in a house for 18 years with just my parents. Having an older sister has impacted my life in so many ways, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Here are a few reasons why I love having an older sister:
1. She is the perfect companion for family vacations.
2. I never run out of things to wear because her closet is basically my closet too, whether she likes it or not...
3. She pretty much taught me everything I needed to know in order to survive my junior high/high school days.
4. She is brutally honest; she tells me things that I need to hear.
5. I am able to learn from the mistakes that she has made.
6. She is perfect at giving me advice because she's gone through more things in her life than I have.
7. I don't have to worry about deciding which best friend of mine will be my maid of honer because my sister automatically gets the spot.
8. She knows me better than anybody.
9. She is a built-in friend. I know that no matter how many friends come and go, she will always be there.
10. Lastly, she has always been a role model for me and is someone that I truly aspire to be like.
