Megan is 16 years old, and a junior in high school. We consider ourselves best friends and tell each other everything. She comes to me with problems she faces with friends, boys, and work. Junior year is always a hard year in high school, but I keep telling her only two more years until she gets to go off to college. She wants to look at colleges down south around North Carolina. Her dream job is to be a nurse one day.
Molly is 12 years old, and in sixth grade. Sixth grade is also considered to be a 'drama year' with friends and boys. This is one of the years where kids find themselves and know what they are capable of. Molly is very big into her phone and facetiming all her friends at night. I always wonder if having her phone at school will become a distraction. Molly's dream job at the moment, is to become a teacher!
Matthew is 7 years old, and in first grade. He is the baby of the family and treated like a prince. He is such a sweet boy and very caring about his sisters. Sometimes my mom will send me a picture of his work he has done in class, and once and awhile it is a story about me being away at college. I always try to talk to him throughout the week, but he is very busy with activities such as: soccer, baseball and swimming. Matthew's dream job is to become a professional soccer player.
I love reading your blog. It is always so colorful and love that you attach pictures to the story. It's great to hear that you are so close to your siblings whether it be near or far. They are able to trust you and know that they can always count on you to be there for them when needed be. I am the youngest sibling, but I can definitely relate to this post. I know that will my sister is away doing her own thing now that I can always count on her to cheer me up or to just even talk to her. Sometimes I feel like in the future phones will be normal to use in the classroom whether it be for school work or not I think that with the way its going now that it will be common in the classroom. I know for a fact that having my phone with me during school is probably the biggest distraction I have. I am always on it when I have the chance and will always answer a text message or email even when I know I shouldn't be using the phone. It makes me interested in how phones will play out in the future for students and teachers.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great blog post! As an only child, I find that your family life is fascinating! :) I would love to have three younger siblings, just like you do! Being the oldest must be great because they look up to you and need your help and advice. The pictures are great because it shows how close you all are. They are so lucky that you are there to help them through the drama years and other difficult times! Thank you for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously this was one of my favorite blog posts ever! You always have such cute pictures and such nice things to say. I especially liked this because I'm an only child, so I have never had the opportunity obviously to establish those strong bonds with siblings. Reading your blog makes me jealous that you have such strong, great relationships with each of your siblings. Thats great that you are able to keep a good relationship with each of them while being away at school, because I know how hard that can be.
