When I think of my big sister, Angela, I think of a woman who is beautiful, smart and an all around great person. Sure, we have had our share of fights, but I can honestly say that I look up to her. She is doing so well away at college; I want to be just like her.

Whenever she calls I just want to cry when I hear her voice because I miss her so much! I usually hold it in though. 1 talk to her about everything you can think of.

When she comes home, I get so excited I just want to tell her about everything that’s been going on. She always listens to every single word.

Sometimes, I admit, I do feel jealous and left out because she gets so much attention while she is home. I don’t know how to tell her, or my mom, so I just pretend like everything is okay, but then it seems like our relationship suffers.

I’ve never really told her that I’m proud other. She intimidates me and I don’t know how to express myself to her. If she is reading this now then she’ll know that even when we get in arguments, I do care what happens to her and I do love her. I want her to know that I’m very proud of her because… .she’s my big sis!
