Siblings are the only enemy you can't live without.
BHAI
We are six members in my family, mom, dad, elder brother, elder sister, me and my dearest pet dog. We are living a blissfully happy life together. Everyone know that there is some excitement, some sadness, lot of joy and little disappointment in every life's journey. In my life journey you will find thrill, many fantastic moments and lot of breakers which could make me weak and exhausted from this interesting journey but there is my family with me who supported me no matter what. Although my whole family bolstered my confidence everytime but specially there is one person who have always got my back. My elder brother! Mr. Abhilash kumar sharma s/o Mr. Adesh Kumar Sharma is my elder brother. He is existing in my life from my birth. My mom told me that my brother was giddy with excitement for me when I was in my mom's stomach. As soon as I came out and took departure from the origin of my life, I was smiling in my brother's hand instead of crying. Slowly-slowly I grew up with my brother and I took initiative to call him "BHAI". Before going to school I knew many English words, handfull type of questions and several poem , I am not blowing my trumpet but I was considered as HIG (Hella lntelligent girl) in my school only because of my bhai. I am 12 years younger than bhai, so he thought that it was his duty to help me in every field and to provide me all the facilities. I have a problem in my right eye, not from the birth but because of my cousin. Due to this problem numerous of student teased me in my school, therefore I felt down many times but on that moment bhai always boosted me up with his kind and energetic words. He always treat me like his best friend but nevertheless he is very strict in studies and especially in mathematics because maths is my favourite subject and my brother's strength also, hence he can't tolerate any mistake in this subject. As I came in 12th class (intermediate), studies load suddenly increased but bhai never left me alone . I promised him that I will bring my A-game in my board exam. I gave my exam with full of vitality and enthusiasm. Finally after checking my result with with nervousness, I cried a lot because I got only 90% but I had trust on myself that this result is not correct and I deserve much better. I told my parents about recheck but because of hardmarking's fear they told me that your marks are enough for getting admission in a good college. On that day there was only my bhai who took stand for me , supported me and said to me that " I trust you more than you, understand ". Then we filled recheck form and when comttiee declared my result again I became topper with 95% marks. Only because of bhai , I am satisfied with my marks and now I am pursuing in my dream college for graduation. My brother's soul has always resided in me, the place he has in my life and what he has done for me, I cannot be described in words. I love my bhai very much not only because he supported me but he is ray of sunshine.he have a pure heart which is rare to find out. In this story and in real life my brother is my real hero. The love of both of us is very strong that's why I am making him the hero of my story by sitting on my brother's lap.

I Am Indebted to You Mom
My dear mom, Hey mom! You must be thinking about what this is for. Well, this open letter is to let you know how much I'm thankful for becoming your daughter. In short, I want to thank you. But it's not possible, I know. Because some appreciated words can never express what you've done for me.

Traveling for the First Time to El Salvador
When my mom decided to move to the U.S, she had to leave my older sister with our grandparents. Because of this, I had only known her through calls and video chat over the years. However, in December of 2021, all that changed. I video chatted my sister to let her know I booked a flight for two weeks to be with her. She was beyond happy like I was. I was so worried that something bad may happen to me the first time traveling alone, but my sister told me to not think too many negative things. On the day of my flight, I sent my sister a picture of the clothes I had on so she could recognize me at the airport. I was able to locate where I needed to be when it came to boarding the plane. There was turbulence but it was not severe and I was really sleepy so I did not react much. My heart was pounding with joy when the airplane finally landed. I went to immigration area and answered all the questions, then at last I had went outside where people were waiting. I was walking around looking for my sister, after a couple seconds I see her running up to me and we both started to cry out of happiness. This was the first time we have ever met, I am 23 and she is 32. This was an unforgettable moment for the both of us. I had also met my niece and my brother in law. They took me out to eat breakfast which I enjoyed. To my luck, the food did not make me sick, so I did not need to take any medicine. We talked so much about life and the differences there are in living in the U.S and living in El Salvador. Coming to El Salvador helped me learn the difficulties my sister faces, but despite that, she never complains. She would cook for the whole family everyday I was there, she would ask me if I was okay and to not be shy to take whatever I wanted. I got along with her three dogs as well, and some of her cats. But what I was really excited about was the pet bunny. It had been a dream of mine to hold a bunny and it finally came true. He was so friendly and soft. They named him Melocotón, which I believe translates to peaches in English. The house they live in had also been renovated by my aunt. There had been more space and they did not have to shower outside anymore. My aunt requested there be two bathrooms each having a pila. A pila is basically like a tub that contains water. A pila in El Salvador can be used to wash clothes, or to take a bath. For me, I was a bit cold at first because I had never taken a bath that way, but the more I kept doing it, the more I got used to it. I actually enjoyed pouring cold water on myself. While being there, I also learned how to wash clothes by hand. Instead of using dryers. All the clothes are hanged outside and they just air dry. When you go to el Salvador, you can expect to see stray dogs walking around the restaurant, but it is normal and that is because the restaurants there are outdoors. What I loved most from being there was going to the beach. I went to a beach known as Playa el Cuco. The view is breathtaking, the water was at a good temperature and the sky looked amazing that day. My 9 year old niece actually took swimming classes at a very young age, therefore she was teaching me the different ways to swim. Overall, I am happy that El Salvador is the first country I visited. I am happy to have gotten to known what the lifestyle is like over there, and most importantly, my dream to meet my sister became a reality.

Dee-Daw
Dear Linda, You probably do not know it, but you are my hero. You are the only remaining person on the planet that I have known for my entire life. That alone, is one criterium for being my hero. But I am not the only one even in our family, or otherwise, who perceives you as a hero. You also have friends, neighbours, students and pets who justifiably worship you in that way.

A Best Friend's Love
Dear Meaghan, You have been an inspiration to me since we became friends. You're so kind and thoughtful and you never give up on anything, even when someone might've pushed you to. When I was sad, you lifted me up. When I had a crisis, you helped me to breathe. When I doubted myself, you gave me courage and confidence.

An Open Letter to My Sister
Dear Ashley, When Joshua started dating you, I was ecstatic! I immediately considered you to be the sister that I never had. Having three older brothers made me cling to you, which annoyed Joshua to no end. I’m sure I was overwhelming (an eight-year-old girl that frequently ran around naked) to you (an only child), but you still tucked me in at night and listened to what I had to say. You have no idea how much that meant to me. I craved the connection that my brothers shared simply because they were boys. They had this shared inside understanding and I was jealous. You filled the void perfectly! And as I got older, that connection became even more essential to me. I remember feeling so cool when you would take me to the mall or to get a snow cone. It felt so nice to know that you actually wanted to hang out with me. When I was eleven or so, the bullying that I experienced at school got worse and I was in a really dark place, but your hangouts helped keep me going. You encouraged me without knowing it and made me feel wanted when it seemed like none of my other friends cared about me. In fact, you were the first person I talked to about my struggles with mental health because I knew that you wouldn’t freak out.

To My Hero
I may seem a little cliché, but I would have to say that the biggest hero in my life is my sister. She has saved me multiple times without realizing it and was practically my mom for most of my life. I wouldn't be who I am today without her and I could never thank her enough.

A spectrum of Sisters
My sister is six years older than me, and she’s neurotypical… She’s the middle child, was popular in school, stunningly beautiful, incredibly intelligent, and when we were children she like many teenage girls found it difficult to understand someone who didn’t fit into the boxes that society had created for the human race, even if one of those people was her little sister.

My Sister: Coleen is going to have a cow
August 11, 1967, Coleen Renee Sims arrived to make me miserable. I had no clue just how important my sister would be to me later in life. She is my best friend and the only person who has always been honest with me. She will get angry when I show this to the public, she will also be proud of what I say.

3 Biggest Regrets People Have When It's Too Late To Change Anything
We all have regrets. Moments when we look into our past and wish things went a bit differently. It’s even more painful if those things could have easily been prevented. If there was just something we could have done done differently.

Lucky Charms & Chicken Gizzards
It’s funny to me the things that we tuck away in our millions of memory file cabinets in contrast to the things that we choose to put in the trash bin of life experiences. I’m guessing only the memories that leave a mark are the ones that remain with us to inspect later in life. Perhaps we attempt to find the value in either the joy or the pain of it all. Or we try to figure out why we are like we are…maybe we try to find out where we went right or where we went wrong.
