The Worst Can Be The Best

I was so upset for so long, for a temporary situiation. A while back I was very upset because my

dad was having another daughter by a woman that wasn’t my mom. My family has a pattern

going on in each generation where there is only one girl in each generation… until she came

along and broke it. I was so upset because I was the only girl and I also didn’t want any other

sibling of mine to have different parents. This time was so frustrating because of the whole story

behind this. There were so many cover ups and no communication, this situation got so bad to

the point where I ignored my dad for days; no greetings, no communication, not even looks were

exchanged. Everyday he’d drop my brother and I off at school and even pick us up and I never

would say a word, nor did I ever feel bad about not doing so.

Now, I have a little sister and I’d do anything in the world for her. My sister and I have such an

amazing bond and I love spending time with her. I regret thinking so negatively about the whole

situation and not focusing more on the outcome. Every now and then, I take her out with me,

almost like a sister date, and we usually just shop and go out to eat. She means so much and

having another girl to watch over is totally different from a boy. I’m glad she gets to have a girl

she can learn from and not just boys… like I did. Within this life lesson, I’ve learned to never

judge a situation from the outside, even if you have to wait to be on the inside. Never judge a

book by its cover is a perfect quote to describe my learning experience and I stand by it everyday

due to my own experience. Because of this situation, I won’t be so quick to look at the next

situation, I will always wait to see some type of solution before I judge it
