Rivalries Make Love
Sibling rivalries are always a big issue in any family that has more than one child. Children always want to fight for the attention of mom and dad. Parents always have a child that they pay more attention to than others. I think no parent should prefer one child over the other. Every child needs love and attention from their parents regardless of what the situation is. Even if the parents are divorced they need to still show love to them. Kids growing up without love or attention can either make them or break them. I believe sibling rivalries is the most pressing challenge parents have to face while they’re children are growing up.

When I was in the hospital I had to get a kidney biopsy. None of my so called “friends” didn’t even bother to send me a get better soon text or not even a call to see how I was doing. The only call’s and text’s I would get were from my brothers and sisters. Knowing that they actually cared would switch my mood from depressed to happy in a matter of seconds. Getting out of the hospital and going to a restaurant to see my family was probably the best feeling ever. The warm feeling I would get inside to see my family was amazing. They were worried to see that I got out healthy. They were all just happy that the biopsy was successful. I realized that I simply get well text from mom, dad, brother, and sister is the best feeling ever knowing that they care is an amazing feeling. Even after all the problems we had growing up as siblings we will always stick together as a family no matter …show more content…
I don’t ever want to have a problem with my siblings to get to the point where I stop talking to them and have my children suffer since they won’t be seeing their cousins. The love and respect I have for my siblings is huge. Especially my older sister. She took over the household when both my parents were working. She stepped up and took care of us. Helped us with homework, cooked, and made sure that we always had clean clothes. Till the day the three oldest moved out the house everything is so different. Everything she taught us we still use on a daily basis. I love my brothers and sisters don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have them in my life growing up. I wouldn’t change my family for anything in the

    “Who am I?” This is a question that everyone my age has likely asked themselves. The first thing that needs to be figured out is, what defines a person? Does family history decide who you are going to be?

    Before I went to the hospital my family and friends tried really hard to keep me calm before this big endeavor that would change my life forever. One of the things they did was talk to my pastor at my church about blessing me before the surgery. My priest blessed me by saying in a holy voice, “Please God protect Emily from all harm during this surgery, and please be with her during this hard experience.” Another wonderful gesture my family did for me was put on a birthday party, since my birthday was only a couple days after my surgery when I would be still recovering. After the celebration came to a close I went upstairs to go to bed, but before I fell asleep my mother came into the room with a gloomy look on her face.…

    Every single day there are many decisions that need to be made. Choices that can be as little as wake up time and some that are as big as choosing which college to attend. Most people grow up making decisions based upon their own happiness or because they want to follow in the steps of one of their role models. I didn’t have any role models or someone that I wanted to strive to become. Because I didn't want to base my entire life on someone else’s, I had to learn about what drives a person and what makes someone motivated to do common, everyday tasks.…
