From a very early age my little sister, Desiree, had a shy and timid personality which is the the exact opposite of my outgoingness. It was extremely easy to see that I would be her big sister that would protect her from anything and anyone even though we are brought up In different households. When she was first born it was extremely hard to grasp the concept that I was no longer an only child and that I had to share everything and everyone, including my grandparents ( I still know they favor me over her) . As time went on and she got older we still did not have a good standing relationship until she matured into a young preteen.
Desiree was born on March 4, 2003 four years and 11 months after me. I was an extremely jealous child and I hated sharing the attention and love with my little sister. We never got along and each bullied and pushed each other around.l, but once she started started school at Whitaker Elementary I noticed a change. She went from being a happy child to a quiet reserved baby who never wanted to do anything. This continued for years and still occurs from time to time.
She later admitted to being bullied for being a bigger girl.I remember her coming to in tears asserting that nobody liked her and that they never would. She went into detail that girls pushed her around and placed with her developing body. In that moment this big sister switch flipped on inside my head, I became extremely angry, she was my little sister and nobody else's.
I soon came to the realization that I did actually love her and I believe that their is no greater love than a bond between to girls. I wild do anything to ensure the safety of Desiree even if I get hurt. My little sister taught me that love is putting other before yourself.
This story is very insightful and relatable. I have 4 sisters, me being the oldest. So I know the feeling of anger when I think of any one causing them harm. Although my sister Destiny, being the second oldest, is capable of taking care of herself quite well, when she gets insecure about what someone told her, I begin to want to fight who ever told her.
ReplyDeleteYour story was relatable and it wasnice knowing how you feel about your sister. I'm the second oldest and I have a little sister but we don't get along well. Reading your story made me think of my situation and hopefully I'll have a good turn out as you.
