I Was A Spoiled Only Child For Only A Few Years

Improved Essays
When I was younger I was a spoiled only child for only a few years. I was the center of mommy and daddies attention, and I got what I wanted whenever I wanted. Until four short years later when they decided to bring along another child, my baby sister. I was excited at first because I would have someone to play with all the time, but soon my feelings changed the wrong direction. People don’t realize the words they say can hurt for a lifetime. When I first became an older sister I was excited and wanted to be around my new baby sister all the time. I loved holding her, feeding her, making her laugh, and of course playing with her. I was four years old why wouldn’t I enjoy doing those things with a new member of the family. I thought she would always be so small and that I would be able to “baby” her forever. Eventually the baby years flew by and she was no longer an innocent infant. It wasn’t long before she grew older and started Kindergarten, we both had multiple birthdays so I was getting bigger too. Since she was the youngest and I had already had my first birthday, first steps, first words, first everything I began to get jealous. Everyone was focused on her, and I wanted the attention for myself. When I was in the fourth grade my sister was in kindergarten, this was the year I began to hurt her with my words and actions. I guess I could start by saying I was a very mean child, when I say mean what I really mean is evil. I realize that every sister and brother,

    I am a middle child. I was born two years after my sister Meredith, and Caleigh came six years after me. Within my family and friends, I am known as the quiet, quintessential middle child. For the first 16 years of my life, I was always an afterthought to the craziness of the first-born and the baby of the family, and I loved it‒ it made me independent and self-reliant. I was very comfortable being the easy-going child, happily accepting anything that came my way.…

    When I was about 3 years old, I can remember my Grandparents lake house in Houston, Texas. My parents and I lived there until my grandparents moved into the country 2 hours outside Houston. Before moving, I can remember my mother taking me out to the lake to feed the ducks and always telling me I can’t swim in the lake because it’s too dirty. I remember going into the kitchen to get juice and spilled it everywhere and was found cleaning my mess while cursing because I thought saying “Shit” and “God Damnit” would magically clean the mess. I would grab a stick of butter and sit 3 inches from the television while watching the Teletubbies.…

    An Uncommon Misconception: The Conviction of Adoption Many young children have misconceptions in life, these range from how babies are made, to whether or not heaven really is a castle in the clouds. Children often gain these through hearing one thing, and coming up with the cause on their own, often resulting in a very creative interpretation of what something is not. Children are prominently known to be the most creative and rambunctious people around, solely because they have not experienced life yet, they do not understand hardships, defeat, and heartbreak. The ideas that children preconceive about certain things are often based on not only their imagination, but the ideas which they have been offered, therefore leaving them to the best…

    Literacy has always been an important part of my life, but in my early years, reading and writing was a tremendous challenge for me.
