People always say being the middle child is terrible, that they feel neglected or ignored. Personally, I love being the middle child. I have two amazing sisters, and I can't imagine what it would be like to not have been born in the middle. Honestly, I feel like I'm the lucky one. I know what it's like to be the younger sister, always looking up to my older sister, wanting to be more like her. But, I also have the pleasure of knowing what it's like to have a younger sibling, feeling like I need to set a good example, wanting to look out for her and protect her.

I have the best of both worlds and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

To my older sister: Thank you for setting such an amazing example for me, letting me tag along with you and your friends, always having the best advice, being a great listener, being the best free tutor one could find. Thank you for being there to laugh with, cry with, and get ready for events with.

To my younger sister: Thank you for always being there to listen to my crazy stories, for always being my only friend at home when I come back from school for a break, for not judging me for being absolutely insane, for not hating me when I drag you to the mall to buy more stuff that I don't need, for letting me pretend to be a beautician and play with your hair and makeup, for letting me get excited and go crazy helping you find the perfect dress for your school dances and then insist on doing your hair and makeup.

I'm honestly the luckiest girl in the world to have such amazing sisters, and to be able to call myself both a big sister and a younger sister. I'm a proud middle child and I wouldn't want it any other way.
