Write about an experience that has helped shape your identity.

How and 
why did that experience help shape your identity 
 
 
My identity is mostly shaped as a big sister. That specifically shapes 
my identity because it makes me more protected about my younger 
siblings. Being protective over my siblings means that I am not afraid to 
feel more responsible with my siblings, and be more responsible for them. I 
also am always more strict with them, for example, me and my sister always 
fight and don’t get along with each other. When we are fighting about 
something, when I give up fighting with her, I will usually tell her that she 
has extra chores or she has to go to her room. But she usually refuses and 
just starts screaming.  
 
This summer I took my Babysitting course this summer and I don’t 
think that my sister Mila is glad that I did get my course. She is the one 
sibling that thinks she is the one that needs to do everything herself 
instead of having someone in charge for her. We are always having rivarys 
about who is the best….. But we (or just me) still love each other. For 
example. One night me and my cousins were sleeping in my room. Mila (my 
sister) was in her room crying because she wasn’t a part of our ‘party’ I 
heard her crying and walked to her room. As I walked into the room I saw 
my Mom comforting her and washing away her tears. I felt so bad that I 
asked her if she wanted to sleep in my room instead of hers. She (of 
course) said yes and I was left in her room for the night. After that night I 
have tried to be a little nicer to Mila. For those reasons, I love my sister just 
the way she is.  
 
My brother on the other hand is always acting like a little spoiled 
brat. He is always trying to get the most attention so he can get more toys 
and gets ‘sweetness’ from my Mom as we say( means he always gives him 
the most attention) but we all still love him.  
 
That is how my identity is shaped. And I love how that is
