Being the younger sibling is not easy. Sometimes who your older sibling is defines who you are in other peoples eyes, even if you are completley different. 

     I am the second oldest child out of four children. My oldest sister is completley different from me. She has none of the problems that I do. She is out going, confident, and a great speaker. 

     My sister and I are the same in many ways, but very different in others. All throughout my life, I had trouble trying to measure up to her, trying to meet people's expectations that they had of me, because of who my older sister is. It was a very hard chapter in my life, because I always disappointed myself and others when I didn't measure up to my sister. 

     I struggled with trying to be my sister, but I failed to see that I am my own person, that I am not going to achieve or like the same things that my sister does. I realized that I don't need to measure up to my sister, that people were just going to have to realize that I am not my sister.
