There are so many things that come to mind when I think about my little sister, one of them is definitely how annoying she is times. Even though I have this huge list of the things that annoy me about my little sister, deep inside I have a list of every single thing that I love about her. She is the baby of the family, so that does mean that anything she wants, she usually gets. She sure has it easier than I ever did when I was her age; Her teen years have been filled with concerts, frequent outings with her friends and sleepovers, things that I did not get to do until I graduated high school. As I sit here and reflect on all the advantages that come along with being the baby of the family, I absolutely love being the older sibling.

As many of you might now, with all the glory that comes along with being the older sibling, comes a lot of responsibility. All eyes are on you to do well and set a good example for those who look up to you. It is a lot of pressure, but I would say that it does come in handy when you are in need of a little boost of motivation. Whenever I feel like giving up, I think of my sister, and what kind of example I would be setting as an older sister if I just got up and gave up on everything that I had been working so hard towards.

When I was younger, I was careless about my actions, and how they would affect those around me. I guess you could say now that I am older, I am wiser. I am more conscious about my actions, and how they could negatively impact my sisters life. Every success that I have in life, I would like to owe it to her. She pushes me to do better and be better everyday, and she doesn't even know it.

Different things motivate different people, and I am fortunate that one of my main motivators is my little sister. As I live my life and she lives hers, I hope she takes my mistakes and learns from them with me. Nothing makes me happier than seeing my sister succeed in life.
