When I was in lower grades I did not realize that being a big sister/brother is being a leader.

Here are some things I said when I didn’t like being a big sister.

• -“I never get to pick”
• -“why cant we play what I want to play?”
• -“it is frustrating being the big sister”

Here are the things I say now:

• -“it feels like I am taking care of my siblings”
• -“we can take turns playing”
• -“I can get that for you”

Sometimes I get a bit frustrated with my siblings but I manage to work it through.

I am also realizing that I have to be flexible with my siblings.
