To my not so little brother,
I know how hard high school can be, but I also know that your high school years have been harder than mine were.
Throughout these past four years I have watched you struggle and feel defeated, but most importantly I have seen you flourish and succeed and you have only begun to become the student, brother, and person I know you will become.
As you get ready to close one door and open another please know that I am beyond proud of you. I know we may bicker but I love you with all my heart and I cannot express to you have extremely proud of you. I know that you have slightly looked to me for guidance over the years by watching what I do and I can only hope that I have been that role model for that you deserve. Please know that I see how much you look up to me and I know you try to do the right thing, and please know that I see you working hard to become the person you are meant to become. I also see the hunger in your eyes to succeed, I see the passion you have for some of the most random things, and I see the love you hold in your heart for those you love. All I can say is hold that hunger and always stride to be the best you can be.
So, as you prepare to enter your final few weeks please know that no matter what you are an amazing person and brother and I cannot wait to see what your future holds. It will be bighter than you can ever imagine.
And if you don’t remember anything from this letter remember this:
No matter how far away you may be from me, if you ever need me I will come running.
I love you with all my heart,
Your older sister
