I know that a lot of siblings fight with each other all the time, but that is definitely not the case with my brother and I. Even though we are relatively close in age (he is twenty-two and I just turned eighteen a couple of weeks ago), we have never had the type of relationship where we fight with each other all of the time. I think the reason that we have never really fought with each other is that ever since we were little, my brother has always taken the role of being the protective older brother. We could play with each other and have a ton of fun, and if anyone ever upset me or tried to do something to hurt me, I could always count on my big brother to take care of them right away.

Since we have had such a good relationship since we were younger, we are still very close now even though we are getting older. For example, when I was talking to my brother earlier this month, I told him that I was going to be off of school for President’s Day. After I told him this, he asked if I would like to come visit him in Denver (that’s where he is going to college). I was so excited when he asked me to visit, and I told him yes right away!

I got to have so much fun with my big brother in Denver. As always, he was very protective of me, but it’s always in my best interest, and he really went out of his way to make sure I had an awesome time while I was with him in Denver!
