When I Was a Child

When I was a child I used to love spending time with my younger sister Ivette. We are one year apart of age and have many things in common and we always got along real well. We used to play with Barbies, watch movies, and our favorite thing to do when we were little was going swimming. Every weekend my mom would take us swimming and my sister and I played in the water and swam for hours. We loved having fun in the sun, but as we got older things changed. My sister Ivette and I still get along, but we do not spend as much time together like we did when we were younger.
I miss those days of laughter and being by her side when we were sad. Every time I was sad she always made me smile by trying to be funny. I felt she was the only one who could understand me, since she new me so well. When I was a child she looked up to me and wanted to grow up to be like me, but she later realized that she was a very special girl with other great qualities. I am glad she realized how valuable she is, but wished she would make more time to spend with her family.
We both have boyfriends and she really loves spending a lot of time with him. I sometimes feel a little jealous that she always wants to be with him. I love making time for my family and I also make time for school, friends, and my boyfriend. Ever since I moved out to college I even feel a little distance from her. We don't even talk on the phone. However we are both excited about her coming to college in the fall and moving in with me at the dorms. I am looking forward to spending more quality time with my sister and helping her get through her first year in college at Mount St. Mary's.
