A Big Brother's Letter To His Little Sister

Although my sister is four years younger than me, I can always count on her to give me a hard dose of reality.

To my little sister,

Being a big brother is one of my best accomplishments.

Having a little sister is most likely one of the best things that's ever going to happen to me. Although she's four years younger than me, I have learned so much from her, and I don't think I would be the person I am today without her. For example, I have learned the right way to treat all women because I would hope that some lucky guy out there would treat my sister the same way. First, though, let me explain what it's like being a big brother to someone who is not only your family but also your friend.

Your needs come second.

My mom always told me how important it was for my other siblings and I to look out for each other. But, when it came to my little sister, we always made sure she was OK first. Being not only the youngest, but the only girl out of three boys, made her the princess she is today. She always get taken special care of because without her, I don't think my family would have nearly as much joy as we do today. She's the light in our family that is always shining because nothing gets her down. Of course, she has her days when she's struggling with things, but even then, she never fails to make everyone in my family smile.

She's my role model.

Even though she's four years younger than me, my sister has taught me so much about life. I have learned how to be patient with people, see other viewpoints, and I have definitely learned to be a good listener! I think the most important thing I've taken away from the bond I have with my sister is knowing I can't be as rough and harsh with all of the other women who may come and go in my life. I've always known that women have every capability of a man, but my sister reinforced the idea that women can literally do what any man can, and I find that truly inspirational.

So, Amihya, I would like to thank you one last time for being my best friend, the best little sister and a role model to your crazy, older brother. I hope you continue working hard for whatever you hope to achieve because I believe you will be extremely successful in whatever you choose to pursue in your life. I'm so glad we have the amazing bond that we have, and I wouldn't trade it for a thing in the world!

Thank you for being the best person in the world.

Love,

Your big brother

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.
