My Better Halves

I have two younger siblings. Their names are Maria and Michael. Maria is a junior in high school, and Michael is a sophomore. These two mean the world to me, and I honestly have no idea where I would be in life without them. I can honestly say that I have never met other siblings that are as close as we are.

My sister Maria and I work together. I am a cashier, and she is a bagger. You are not suppose to have a conversation with the baggers or other cashiers if you are with a customer, but Maria and I are ALWAYS talking. And so far, we haven't had any complaints from the customers. We just always hear "are you girls always this nice to each other?" And we would just look at each other, smile, and say yeah. Maria has always been my best friend, and I have always been hers. Of course we have our moments, but we are always able to look pass them and move on.

My brother and I are about four years apart, so there is kind of a big age difference between us. But that has never stopped us from hanging out together! Mike is always one of the most fun people to be around and he never fails to make you laugh so hard that your stomach hurts. He is about 6'1, so he is pretty big for a 15 year old, and whenever a guy tries hitting on me, he likes to start something like he's some a big tough guy. But deep down, Mike is really just a big teddy bear. And if you know him well enough, he has no problem admitting it.

Us three have been through a lot together these past few years, and we have helped each other become better, and stronger people. A brother or sister is one of the best things you can have in your life, because they are a part of you. So if you have a sibling, no matter how old or young there, let them know how much they mean to you, and think about what your life would be like if you didn't have them to count on. I know I would have absolutely nothing.
