The Boy (Part Two)

The boy that my sister really likes has come up more frequently and it hasn't been in a superb way.

My sister had come up to me a few days ago, and with the look she had in her eye, I automatically knew something was wrong.

I don't know if anyone knows how heartbreaking it is to have your little sister come up to you and say "What do you do when someone breaks your heart?" When she said those words, I felt my heart sink to my stomach. She was on the verge of tears so I just hugged her. I didn't even know what to say to make her feel better. It felt as if my heart was more torn than hers to see her that way. In the moment, I didn't even want to ask why, or whom, I just wanted to hug her and tell her everything's going to be okay.

When she calmed down, she explained to me, without asking, that the boy she was talking too, wanted nothing but a friendship with her. He made her believe he really liked her and so my innocent little sister had fallen for it. When she told me that, I clenched my fist and she knew that I was angry. She tried to calm me down, but I just couldn't stand that someone had the power to break her heart. I've been in her place before and I know it's a horrible feeling and as much as I didn't want her to go through it, she did. I then realized I can't blame her for falling for it.

This boy had a lot of explaining to do, but he never really spoke up. I told my sister that no matter how hard it is, to stop talking to that boy! She's too young to date anyways. And that boy wasn't bringing any good vibes anyways.

A part of me wanted to look up websites to see what can help her and so I looked up "relationship advice" on Google and I started to look for a good website. Nothing.  So so looked up "relationship quizzes " just to see what would come up and my sister and I just started taking stupid quizzes off the cite. The questions and answers made her laugh so it kind of brightened her mood and made me really happy!

I love my sister and always will, she will continue growing learning and I will always be there to give her the best of my advice.

A Day In The High School Life

      My little sister got the opportunity to come with me for a whole day and go through my daily schedule at school; She missed a day of school and followed me around the whole day.
     The day before she was so nervous! Her nervousness was so bad to the point that the day of, she asked me if we could change plans and have her just go to her school but it was already set so she kind of had to at that point.
     When we were driving to school, she was freaking out and I had told her that she will be okay and that she's going to be with me, that it wasn't like she was going to wonder my school all by herself. When we got there, she said that when she comes to this school that she was going to get lost. She seemed so tiny in such a big school, yet she's taller than me?
     As the day went, she would walk in front of me and so she would be lost, but that was her own fault for not following me. She believed some of the teachers were rude, nice, and scary and she was so shocked with how much homework/ classwork they give me and she realized that high school isn't as easy and that these teachers of today expect a lot from us. It's funny because I was looking for research for my blog and there was an article that caught my eye on washintonpost.com it talked about a teacher shadowing a student for 2 days and was shocked with what she learned and maybe teachers don't know what we go through, sadly. Their expectations are sometimes way too high.
     She told me that her favorite part of the day was my third and fifth period because in third, it was just a really funny, productive day and in fifth period, I was learning Sign Language and she got to learn a little bit of that too.
     I told my little sister that she should enjoy her middle school years because those were the best two years of my life and high school can be a pain, so she should enjoy the easy stuff while it lasts! She's growing up and it makes me emotional but I know she can handle it.

The Boy

     My sister has been speaking to a boy recently and I don't know how to feel about her dating boys. She's my baby sister and her dating means she's growing up too fast. Boys can be heart breakers and I don't want my sister to ever get hurt.
     On October 28th, I started to notice that she was constantly asking for my phone to FaceTime someone since she has an android. #iPhoneGang! On November 3rd, I couldn't hold back any longer and I finally started to look into whether it was a boy or not.
     On November 5th, I finally asked my sister because I could obviously see the calls she made since it was on MY phone and it was a boy's email address whom she continuously FaceTimed, and she confirmed it to be a boy. I wanted to be right and at the same time, I was hoping I was wrong. At that point was when it finally hit me. That's why she always tries to look nice for school and why she takes forever in the mornings even though she has to wear a uniform, it all finally fits! She's been trying to impress this boy, and I can't blame her because I've done that before too when I was a fool and cared about what people have to say.
      When she FaceTimes, I paid attention to the things she does while it and she seems really happy and blushes a lot! She flips and plays with her hair, so much that she denies when I call her out on it, she just won't admit that she does. When he texts her, she drops whatever she's doing just to text him back, and when they aren't talking, she becomes grumpy and gets mad easily because all she wants to do is talk to him. It's a real pain in the neck sometimes. It's funny to say that as i'm writing this post, he called and she ran to answer him. This girl is in love and doesn't know it!
    It's crazy to think that that used to be me, staying up late sometimes, talking to not-worth-my-time boys and not realizing how young I was! I know that no matter what I say, I can't stop my sister from dating but I sure can beat up the boys who hurt her. :)

Semana Three

I observe and observe my sister. I notice when she's nervous, when she's mad, and when she's happy. When she's nervous, her hands fiddle together and her eyes get so big, they look like they'll pop out of her eye sockets and if it's because she's with a certain someone, she'll try to play it cool and then just awkwardly laughs at everything. When she's mad, it's like she's someone else, she doesn't think of what she says and does. She's a very angry person sometimes and she thinks resolving things will be by yelling. She gets mad at the whole world when someone has angered her; someone ruins her day and she's pissed at everyone else that comes her way. When she's happy, she's smiling, laughing, getting along with everyone. When she's happy is when she will actually do something for me, but I still expect nothing.

My sister is the only one with light brown eyes in our intermediate family. Very few of the outside family members have this eye color, and I really wanted to know if her eye color has any meaning. According to listoactive.com, they say people with brown eyes are confident. My sister has the confidence that I admire dearly. I've never heard her talk down on herself or say that she doesn't like this or that about herself. She has flaws and she knows, but she embraces them and that has made me admire that trait of my sister. She needs confidence to survive middle school, high school and life in general. She's only 12 years old and she has showed me confidence more than anyone has. Even our mom has said that she's the cutest one out of all three of us (My older sister, this sister and I), bugs the heck out of me, but hey my sister is kind of cute. Haha. 

I took her to play basketball the other day, I suck, but I wanted to see her play. Her passion interests me. If she screws up a throw, she'll keep trying until she gets it right. She's so focused, the look she has in her eyes when she's getting ready to throw that 3 pointer, is a look of determination. She feels so proud of herself when she gets the shot. She congratulates herself, she's her own motivator and dang, it's awesome to say that that's my sister! 

Week Numero Dos

     Throughout the week, I have observed my sister. My sister seems to have different personalities with different people and actually I cannot blame her for that because I am the same way. I'm sure others are as well.
     In front of her friends, she tries to make fun of me to make them laugh, I just laugh at her for being so ridiculous. At times, when she's around my parents, she tries too hard to act like the she's good child. My older sister and I call her "The Little Devil" of the house. She may seem cute but looks can fool you. BIG TIME. I see the way she's with her friends and when she's with me, and she doesn't try as hard with me as she does with them. She wants everyone to like her but she won't seem like she's better than you and I like that most about her, too.
    My sister is my best friend, but she's still my sister. I love her too death but our relationship is kind of funny. Anyone who is around us long enough says we're crazy sisters, but we just say that no one will ever understand us, we don't even understand it ourselves. If I ask her to do something for me, I always expect her to say no, I know she loves me, but she is lazy and will not do it for me unless she's feeling good and nice that day.
    On October 11th, 2014, she invited me out to Starbucks and I was completely taken back, so much that I thought she was just joking but, she was being serious. I got my Vanilla Bean Latte with Hazelnut and she got her Mocha Frap with chocolate syrup that day; It was a really good day if you ask me.
    Today, we got into a fight because I had forgotten her keys, ID and land yard for school in my older sister's car. I got angry and told her she could walk to school, she put her pride in the way and actually walked to school, I honestly didn't believe she would. I noticed that when she's mad at you, she will have the biggest pride and since she was so mad at me, she wouldn't even pick up her phone after I tried calling her to see where she was at.
     When I got home from school this afternoon, she apologized and she even made me a bagel and later on, a cucumber with chili and salt. I forgave her but I bet anything that she asked for forgiveness just so she wouldn't have to walk to school!

Week One

     Observing my sister has been more interesting than I thought. I found out new things about her that I never took the time to notice.
     I noticed that my sister tries a little too hard to impress. She goes to school and everything has to be perfect on her. I wonder why, especially since she wears uniforms to school.  I drop her off at school every morning and she will not get out of the car until she sees a friend she knows. She would "die of embarressment" if she was seen as a loner. When I come home, she is watching The Secret Life Of The American Teenager and/or she's always on her phone, Facebooking, texting, and just socializing. She even makes fun of me when I say that I have no friends and in things like that I wish she would understand that not everyone is going to be her "friend."
     My sister has a really outgoing personality and she is upfront. I dislike and like it.  I dislike that she is upfront because she will tell me anything directly, and taking the truth can be hard sometimes but I like it because at least someone is being honest with me and she is my bestfriend.
     My sister is growing up and I always imagined her to be that little sister of mine in elementary school. Sadly, she will continue growing, whether I like it or not. I wish she wouldn't, but I know i'll always be her big sister (even though, she's pretty much taller than me) and I will always be here for her.  She's my little basketball player.
