I was blessed with two older brothers, Ryan and Josh. I am not sure if it was a complete blessing though, but I would not want it any other way. Ryan is eight years older than me, and Josh is six years older. Having older siblings gave me someone to look up to other than parents, people on tv, or other inspirational people. Not everything they do is inspiring or good, but it helped shape my personality and some of the things I like. Ryan is one of the reasons I knew Transformers or any super hero movie really existed when I was younger. It wasn’t my thing to watch or care about, but I listen to him when talking about it. He is one of the reasons I have decent listening skills whether I like the topic or not. Josh, on the other hand, some of his influences are kind of, out of the ordinary to me. Especially being a girl. As long as I remember, Josh watched WWE. He played the games, owned the action figure things, rings, and probably more. The boy even made a homemade ring by flipping the tramploline over. You can probably guess my Dad was not happy with that one. Growing up, I tried acting just like him. I would play WWE on any game console, practice moves seen on TV either on him or Tiffany. Heck, when I’m mad, I still play WWE on my Xbox. It’s a good way to release anger. Josh is also a reason I speak up for myself because he does the same. He does not let anyone talk down to him. He speaks his mind about things and I’m slowly learning to do the same. I have learned several other things from both of my brothers, but I feel like I have went on long enough. Both my brothers inspire me daily without realizing that and I love them for it, even it Josh used to try wrestling moves he seen on me. It all worked out and I could not be happier to have older siblings.

having older siblings is both a curse and a blessing, i totally agree. i have a older sister as most people know and she does a lot for me. not only she cover for me when im in trouble but she also gives me someone to look up too. Ive always had the image of having a older brother because they could beat up the mean boys, but i was blessed with a older sister who wont fight anyone so im just stuck talking trash with her, which isn'y bad at all because its going having someone to talk to on a older perspective.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree that having an older sibling is good and bad. They can teach you so much stuff. Hayden has taught me a lot of stuff just like Josh taught you how to stand up for yourself. I have had plenty of fights and recreation of WWE moves. Trust me. When you have an uncle, cousin, dad, and a brother that watched WWE, you most definitely know almost all of the moves. Majority of the time the moves were done on me, because I was the smallest in the house. So, I definitely know where you are coming from. But I would never want to change having an older sibling. I hope that’s close to 100 words. I only have 2 more of these left!! -Hailey
