I’m the youngest child of three. I have two older sisters. One is 11 years older than me and the other is eight years older. Some people say that I must hate it, but I don’t want it any other way. With being the youngest child of a large gap, you know that there are situations that occur making it the absolute best.

1. Being able to watch scary or R-rated movies despite being a young child.

2. Having them drive you places because they’re old enough.

3. You want to do the same things as they do, but you’re too young to do them.

4. You love watching them graduate, get a job, move out and start a life of their own. Even though you miss them like crazy.

5. You’re young when they get married.

So you say that you have an in-law and people give you an odd look.

6. You become an aunt or uncle at a young age.

7. They get so happy when their “not so little brother or sister" when you graduate high school.

8. They give you advice as you make your way through college from their own experiences.

9. They support the path that you choose.

10. No matter how old you get, they will protect you against bullies that come your way.
