Growing up with my younger brother, Nathan, has provided me a lot of insight into who I am as a person and how I still need to change. We have had our fair share of disagreements and arguments, but I cannot imagine a pair of brothers and/or sisters that always coexists peacefully. With that being said, my younger brother means a lot to me. Though I am not entirely sure about how to explain every reason why my brother is important to me, I will make an effort to do so. Firstly, my brother is important to me since he is honest with me whenever I tell an awful joke so that way, I can perfect my jokes so they are not as terrible.
Secondly, my brother holds a special place in my heart since whenever I would get upset, he would attempt to serve as a voice of reason. Though I still have a long way to go, I can truly say I am slowly beginning to deal with my frustration in a calmer manner thanks to my brother. My brother also has a special place in my heart due to every time we watched a show together that we enjoyed, played a game that we both enjoy, and every time we watched something that we would both make fun of and laugh at. Those moments truly helped us bond together as brothers and I will forever cherish them. Yet another virtue I learned from my brother was how to lose well and eventually, I learned how to lose well since there are at least a few games that he will always beat me at.
As time passed on, my brother and I continued to develop our own interests and we do not engage in all the same activities that we used to. Then again, that is not the most important part of being brothers. The most important part is being there for one another when it matters the most and supporting each other as we pursue our goals. My brother has certainly done both. He was also one of the people who offered his support during the short time that I was off my epilepsy medicine and somebody who supported me when I had to take my medicine. There is a lot I could say about my brother. He is laid back, he runs on Dunkin Donuts coffee, and he is great with children. One aspect of him that I appreciate the most is no matter how many times I have made him mad, chose to do what I wanted instead of spending time with him when I was younger and annoyed him, he still loves me nonetheless. All things considered I love my brother and I am grateful that I grew up with him rather than be an only child.
