One of my favorite things in life is being a big sister.
I know that it sounds childish to say “big sister,” but I do not know how else to express what it is like.
My sister looks up to me so much, and it has honestly made me evaluate the things that I do and the reasons that I do them since I know that she is watching me. She is ten years younger than I am, so we did not play much together. I was out of the house by the time that she was eight. Now, she is eighteen and in college. I cannot believe how quickly time flies by. She is going to a small college a few hours south of my parents’ house. She is living in the dorms, but they are not the nicest. They are not terrible, but the air conditioning does not work very well in her dorm room, so I decided to buy her an air conditioner to put in her window. I made sure to ask if that would be okay since the college would have to pay more on electricity, but they said that it was fine since the AC did not work well in her room. It was super sweet to see her reaction. She was super surprised and happy to have an air conditioner that worked. I knew that she always loved sleeping in a cool room, so I cannot imagine how hard it was for her to sleep when her room was warm. Hopefully, the air conditioner that I got her will help her get some much needed rest.
