A Thank You Letter To My Big Brother
Caitlin Brossman

So to start off, I have probably have the best big brother a girl could ask for!

My brother and I are 10 years apart, I am 19 and well you can do the math because I don't think that he would like me to put his age. My brother is pretty much my best friend. Everyone that knows us tells us that we could pretty much be twins. Even though when we are together sometimes people think we are a couple. Come on people, you can't tell that we look a like! Funny story relating to the couple comment, We were in Florida and we took a day trip to Universal Studios and we took a shuttle back to our resort and everyone on the shuttle were couples, so our driver thought that we were also couple, around this time I was 15. So our driver really thought that a 15 year old was dating a 25 year old who is my BROTHER. We didn't say anything, we just laughed about it. Now he lives in New York and left me all alone. But that's okay now because I am in college now.

I am writing this to say thank you to my big brother. I do have some pictures but I don't have pictures for everything.

Thank you for all the countless laughs.

Which would be all the times you have tripped in public, me scaring you and you freaking out, or saying the first word you are thinking instead of the actual word, for explain he would say, "can you get me a rubberband?" but what he really meant was can you get a brownie. (that is a true story)

Thank you for always being there to support me.

Whether it be musicals, cheerleading at football games, PowderPuff games, Girl Scouts, graduating high school and what ever else I did, you always made sure to be there.

Thank you for always listening to my rants.

From typical girl drama to everything in between you were always there to listen

Thank you for always helping me.

For example, every time I had project, you were first person I went to and even though you did not want to do it, you still helped me. So thanks for all those A's on my projects/papers. It's confession time, my graduation cap, my brother did it, not me


Thank you for coming home for my events.

Everything, from senior rec night, musicals, powerpuff games, Winter Carnival, proms and graduation, you never missed a thing.

Thank you for always making time for me.

Before you moved to New York, no matter what time it was you always hung out with me and now you always take the time to plan my weekend trips to New York to see you and of course to see some Broadway shows as well.

And the most important one, Thank you for being my best friend.

Through it all, you were always there. No matter what it was, like my knee surgery, when I was sick, cheerleading, competitions, prom dress shopping, Winter Carnival, graduation and everything else. You were always cheering me on. You always know how to make me laugh. You truly are my best friend even though sometimes you probably didn't want to be.

Thank you for everything you have everything you have done for me and for always being in my corner. I will always be on your side through it all. Just remember when you make it big, that I will be that proud little sister in audience.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
