Being an older sister can come with challenges, but overall is a gift. It’s a lifelong journey of being a role model. You have this lifetime of being there for a younger sibling and sometimes it can be difficult to always be there for them. Being an older sister has many different responsibilities, but it’s nothing but fun. You have a pal for life and a friend that is there until the end. It’s a great feeling when you have siblings that look up to you for guidance and friendship. There’s a lot of great memories while growing up as the older sibling, but I think the joy is actually being there for my younger sibling. It is common for siblings to go through struggles. If there’s anything I have learned by being an older sibling, it’s being there for them. You have someone who is a few years younger and looks up to you more than you will know.
Since coming to college, it’s been difficult to be there for my younger sibling. However, I have found time to make sure I reach out to him. I think I have appreciated the gift of having a younger sibling. I would do pretty much anything for him. I wouldn't trade being the first born for anything, because having a younger brother is something great. I've learned so much about myself from him and I wouldn't trade our friendship for anything. We might not have the best relationship some of the time, but I look forward to the coming years. We are now older and I am excited to see how our friendship will change over the next years.
Even though we're both getting older, I miss the days when you followed me around everywhere. We have had our ups and downs, but I look forward to (maybe) actually getting along. I promise, no matter how I am during the day, I will always be there for you and as a friend and role model for you. I hope that you learn from all the things that life has to offer and I hope you'll be successful in the coming years.
I am incredibly proud to be your sister and all of the fun it has brought. Being an older sister can bring so much joy to life. Being an older sister has taught me patience. I have found that to be kind to others is always important, even when you don't want to be to a group of 17 year olds. Being patient with younger siblings, has taught me a lot about growing up. I hope my younger brother has learned a lot from me. I look forward to where our friendship and family will go in a few years. Being an older sister has brought a friend for life, even if we fight every other day.
