When I was younger, I hated being the oldest child and the only girl in my family. But now
that I am older, I realize that being "Big Sister" actually has its advantages. First of all, I get special
treatment from my parents and brothers. I get my own room, and brothers have to do all the heavy
work around the house. Another benefit is that, being the oldest, I have learned to be responsible
and dependable. For example, my parents often leave my brothers in my care when they go out. I
also try my best in whatever I do in order to be a good example for my brothers. The experience
I've had in taking care of my brothers has prepared me for my own family in the future. So, even
though I didn't choose to be the oldest child and the only girl in my family, I have succeeded in
making this situation work to my best advantage.
