Picture this. All your life you've looked up to one person. A person who leads, makes sure you don't make mistakes, someone who protects you, and takes care of you. Someone who you could never imagine your life without, and although she may have a few flaws and make a few mistakes of her own, you ignore them completely. She's someone who can be your worst enemy at times, but mostly your best friend. You can be endlessly jealous of her matureness and she can say the same thing about your ability to be so naïve. She's someone who you could never, ever imagine your life without. But most of all, she's someone who makes you happy and you could not be prouder to call her your older sister.
My older sister and I have a quite odd relationship. From the biggest fights to bonding moments, from me hitting her and pretending to fall asleep to her taking care of me and making sure I don't make any of the mistakes that she has, we have always been inseparable. Yesterday was her graduation. As she walked down to the stage, wearing her toga, and standing beside her best friend I realized one thing. My sister, the person who's always there for me, was growing up. And it's weird because she's always seen me grow up and make mistakes because she's older than me, but now, for the first time, I saw her growing up, and I can honestly say, that this was not easy at all.
So now, for the rest of my years at school I'm going to have to face the biggest challenge in the world, going to school without her. Even though there were times when we'd fight and I'd begged her to leave already, I never meant it.
"Having a sister is like having a best friend you can never get rid of, you know whatever you do she'll always be there."
