Having a Sister is Very Lucky

By: Brian Lin

Many people don’t know what it feels like having a sister. Have you ever wanted to know how it feels like having a sister?

I will tell you how it feels. It feels lucky. In fact, I feel like the luckiest person in the world. Many people want to have a sister when it is convenient. But they don’t truly care about having or not having a sister. Many people think that having a sister is very annoying. But have they ever wondered how does it feel not having a sister?

My sister helps me with my homework. My sister chats with me when I am bored. My sister plays with me when I am sad. For example, one Friday night, I was crazy with my homework. “Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow,” I thought.

The next day we are going for a vacation, and I had plenty of homework to be done. We will be back on Sunday night. And now, I was only starting my writing homework. I couldn’t focus, think of the other homework, I just couldn’t focus. Just then, my sister came in my room.

“Can you give me some ideas?” I asked hopefully.

“Sure.” she replied.

After she said that sentence, my feelings immediately begin to change. I felt like the wind, zooming faster and faster. Like I was writing my homework faster and faster, until I couldn’t write faster anymore. And when that happened, I was already done with my homework.

Another example of how much I enjoy having a sister is when one day during summer vacation, I was finally done with my homework, reading, Chinese, science, posters, reading log. I was tired. But tired doesn’t mean that you have to sleep or relax. Tired also means that I was tired of doing my homework. I wanted to do something else. I just couldn’t think of something to do. Television? Boring. Reading? Boring. Drawing? Boring. Playing? Yes! I went to find my sister. Living room? No. Dining room? No. Sleeping? I found her! I shouldn’t wake her up when she was sleeping. But I had nothing to do. So I just waited. My sister woke up 30 minutes later. We played a game called tic tac toe.

“YAY! I won! YAY! I won! YAY! I won!”

She won every time. But at least I had someone who would play with me. And I was not bored or tired anymore.

The last example is, one sunny day on Monday, It was so hot that our family are going out for a swim. Everyone was happy about that. But when we went there my mom notice that the swimming pool is closed. We all went home sadly. We had nothing to do. My mom was sleeping. My dad was watering his plants. My sister and I had nothing to do. So we decided to play hide and seek. My sister always finds me in one minute. But it takes me more than five minutes to find her. After that, we played truth or dare.

“Paper-Scissor-Stone!” And the next thing I knew, I lost. I am bad at every game. Actually, I am not really so bad. But if my sister plays with me, I can be very bad. She can read my mind. She knows what I am going to do next. She asks me a lot of questions, or dare me to do a lot of things.

I never get to ask her any questions or dare her to do anything because I always lose while playing Paper-Scissor-Stone in Truth or Dare. For example, “I dare you to do a push-up 10 times,” or “ How many cookies did you eat today?” And she always goes and finds out the truth. And if I lie, she punishes me by hitting my hand two times.

Having a sister and not having a sister is a big difference. You should make a choice. An important choice. Like the most important choice in your life. Think of what you can do with a sister and without a sister. Having or not having a sister? If you want to know the answer to this, read on!

I have a sister. A sister who cares about me. I realize that when my sister is not with me, I feel lonely. Nobody can play with me, nobody can chat with me, nobody can help me. But I have a sister. She is the one who plays with me. She is the one who chats with me. She is the one who helps me. And she is the one who has changed my life.
