Being_a_Big_Sister

Barbara Alpert once said, that “Your little sister is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you any way.” Being a big sister sometimes can be a difficult job, but it is only up to those who truly want to look back and to be able to smile and be proud that they have created something great. A big sister has a lot of qualities that one would need in order to fulfill its duty. But I feel that the most significant qualities that a big sister should have is that she should be a motivator, a supporter, trustworthy and most importantly a friend. A big sister should always be there to help the other complete her dreams and goals. She should never let her little sister settle for something less of her dreams. She should be a listener even though sometimes it can become hard to listen without giving any harsh criticism back. But a big sister should be that listener who is willing to have an open ear whenever the youngest needs it and feel need to give advice wherever it fits. A big sister should never be doubtful of her little sister dreams she should be that supporter who is always in her younger sisters corner, even when no one else is there. Most importantly a big sister should be like a best friend that a younger sister can come to for anything and be able to tell whatever to. She should be that friend that you call all the time and or feel as if maybe you are her only friend that she has. No matter how or what the two sisters endure they would never let nothing come in between their title as being sisters. These are just a few of important qualities that I myself posses as a big sister when it comes to my youngest sister. I think that I would be a good big sister because I benefit from seeing someone who I have learned to care for achieve something that they have been trying to reach all their life. I am a motivator that never doubts anything and always look for a positive note to things and never the negative. I would like to be a big sister because I will be that friend that the younger sister can call and tell the worst stories to, even when she feels she can’t tell her friends. I want to be there to help pick my younger sisters up when they are in need of some help with anything. I would be a good big sister because I want my sister to trust me with anything that they tell me and reassure them that I am always there. To me being a big sister is not just a duty that one would like to do because they love being titled “big sister”. But being a big sister to me is a commitment to yourself that you would do absolutely everything in you can to get your younger sister to where you are in life or even somewhere above you. I am willing to take on this commitment as big sister and fulfilling all of its duties to make sure that when my younger sisters look back in the mirror they too can see everything that I instilled in them.
