Soon after I was born, my mother died in an accident. I grew up with my father and my elder sister. My father was often busy with his work, so it was my sister who looked after me. She took good care of me and taught me everything she knew. She is the best sister in the world.

My dad came to America 30 years ago and was never able to learn how to speak English. He could say only a few words. For this reason, my sister had to help him. She was my dad’s voice from a young age. She spoke for him when he couldn’t and took care of him when he was sick.

My sister was the first one in our family to go to college. I remember how hard she worked throughout high school. She had to stay up late studying. She had to spend all the weekends in her room reading instead of going out with her fiends. I was too young to understand why she did that when I was little. Now that I am older, I realize that she did all those things because she wanted a better life for her and for us.

The day before she left for college, we went out to celebrate it, we were all so happy for her, especially me, but a big part of me was also scared. She would be miles and miles away, and that meant I would have to take her responsibilities(责任).

I love my sister because she is completely selfless and strong. I was happy to take her place because it was her turn to take a break and have some fun. Now it is my turn to make her proud of me.
