I feel like birth order doesn't really effect anyone's future. I do, however, believe it affects the role you have in your family. In my family the oldest is always taking care of the younger siblings and doing all the chores. The middle child and the youngest doesn't do anything. That's just what my family does, but I'm sure it's different for others.
I personally, am the oldest and I'm constantly taking care of my sisters and the house while my parents are working. That work may push me to be more motivated, but my siblings are just as motivated as me. I think it all just depends on the person.

It is not about the amount of years you can live or how long you can survive life is about learning lessons, taking risk, feeling joy, and experiencing all you can.

If you dwell on all the little moment of life and forget to actually live your life to the fullest then life isn't as worth living.

The person I chose to write about is my dad. My dad has been my best friend for as long as I can remember. When I was around 12-13 he and I began to grow distant, cause you know, moody teenager. But when I was around 14 I had a revelation, my dad won't always be here with me. There will eventually be a time where he is gone. So, I started spending more time with him. I now try to sit down and watch football or baseball whenever I can. I do this because he enjoys those things and I think it makes him happy when I sit and watch, and he can teach me about the sports. But my dad has also been admiring my passions as well. When I'm sitting in the living room playing video games, he will sometimes sit down with me and ask about what I'm playing, what I'm doing in said game, etc. I really like that, even though sports aren't my favorite and video games aren't his, we still hang out and enjoy each other's presence, and have a good time.

I think the birth order does effect on things. I am the oldest in my family and I have more to do then my other siblings. My mom is strict on me but not as bad as my dad but that could be because his Hispanic and I'm his only daughter. But, my other siblings get to go out and do more than me and I don't get that because they're younger. When my other siblings get to go out and play I have to stay home and clean. And I am not aloud to go over to other people's house they have to come to mine; when it's the opposite for my sisters. But I don't think it can really effect a person's future only the person themselves can do that. But it can help you do thing's differently in the future.

My mom is someone I look up to, she is my role model. She has 6 kids including me, I'm thankful to have her around and also for giving me siblings, I'm the 2nd oldest out of the pack. Me & my mother are really close we have our moments where we love to be around each other 24/7, but we also have our moments where we can't stand each other so we just keep to ourselves. In the 14 years I've been in this world my mother has done everything in her power she could to make sure I had everything I needed, clothes on my back, a roof over my head, and food in my stomach. I honestly wouldn't trade my mom for nothing she means to much to me & I don't think anyone else could put me first like she does, she makes sure everything is straight for her kids before she worry's about herself. She has been through a lot but yet she still stays strong for her kids so we don't have to see her at her lowest because we know sometimes it's tough but honestly my mom is my real best friend

I don't think the birth order really has an effect on your future but it does on the way you think. In my family I am the 3rd child out of 4 children. My aunt has always called it 3rd child syndrome because the 2 older siblings get almost everything first and get the cool new items, and the youngest always get her way with just a please. So, the 3rd child is stuck in the middle cause they don't every really get there way unless it is for everybody or they have earned it nor can they get cool new item they are always get the older siblings clothes. But the youngest can never fit them so she get brand new clothes. The only effect it really has I think is you try harder on this to get some affection from your parents. Like trying harder on your academics and on your sports, and cleaning up a lot. So it can shape your future at little

I agree with the statement, "It's not the years in the life but the life in the years that matters". I agree with this because I believe that the number of years you live doesn't determine your life. What you do during those years are important. The choices and decisions you make are essential to the life you wish to live. I have a ton of things I want to experience such as being able to make my own decisions without interference and the what-ifs. Life is too short to be asking yourself "What if this..?" or "What if that..?". Even simple things like growing old and watching people grow up, it's a part of life. I want to be able to look back at the things I was able to do and be proud. I don't want to look back and think "Oh, I should've done this..." or even "Oh, if I did this...maybe things would've turned out different.." I want to be a pilot so I am striving to join the Air Force after I get my bachelors degree. I want to also be able to speak over 4 languages by the time I get to college. Also I want to be some sort of Software Engineer. These things are important to me because I wouldn't know what to do with my life if I didn't have goals. I don't want to be sitting around doing nothing just because I didn't feel motivated enough to find something I could potentially do as a career.

I believe birth order does have an effect on a person's future. I am the youngest child my sister is 21 years old, and I am 14. I believe that my sister being older gave my parents indications of what can help in raising a child before having me. This makes me believe that my parents have raised me with more experience giving me a better future than my sister. The role in family is definitely relative to the age of the child. As the youngest my older sister takes care of me a lot and does things for me. Though my sister is older I have better say with my parents because of their belief in my responsibility, maturity and intelligence. My parents don't like the decisions my sister made in life and how she dealt with problems, so my role has been set higher as they have more faith in my abilities due to my achievements.

I believe birth order may have an affect on what you do when you grow up, there are studies that focus on how being an only child or an older or even middle child will grow up and act different than the other kids. I also believe it depends on the culture of who you are born to, in some places the first born son inherits everything and is supposed to take care of everyone in the house when the father dies. In my household i am the oldest, I do not feel i have any roles other than teaching my little brother right from wrong, I do think because of teaching my little brother it has made me a better speaker and I can relate easily with other kids.

The person that means a lot to me is my sister. We are half-sisters so we don't see each other all the time and I think that is why we get along so well. We are not always there to annoy each other. We have had many good times together, like one time when we were little, we covered our whole driveway with Disney characters in chalk and it was really fun. We have also had our moments where we want to kill each other like all siblings do. One time we were sitting at the counter and all of the sudden we just started fighting for no reason. But most days, I'm glad I have her as a sister.

Will I be more successful because I'm the youngest?

# data[].attributes.body
to answer the first question yes, I do believe me being the youngest out of my three siblings will help me be more successful. I believe that because I get to witness the things my older siblings get to try like the military, college, or heading straight into the work force to see what failed, what didn't, who could they have use to get in this position. my role in in my family is very diverse because I am the youngest, somedays I'm giving my oldest brother advice about important decision, the next I'm helping my oldest sister school work, then there telling things I should do. I really feeling that younger sibling, at least in my family, are the glue that keeps everyone together. without me, who knows where they would be in life.

I agree with this statement. I feel like everyone should live a fulfilling and cherishing life because you don't know when it's going to end. I know people who wished that they could fulfill it a bit more before they got old. I think that those little things should be remembered and not wasted away.
Realistically, I would like to be a psychiatrist to help others and get very far in my career. I want to at least try to help the world even if it's just a little bit.

I am the oldest child in a family of 3 kids. I have a 12-year-old sister and a 5-year-old brother. As the oldest sister, I often have the responsibility to take care of them. My sister often feels like she cannot talk to our parents so she finds so she comes to me for advice. My little brother is a very sweet kid but he has been struggling to behave. I often feel a bit overwhelmed taking care of my siblings but they have made me a better listener and I find to enjoy caring for other children as well (I coach kids). I think birth order does matter because my siblings made me who I am and I care about them very much.

This family member is my dad. We have a long distance type of relationship. Sense I live with my mom I don't see him quite often because he lives in Texas and its like an 18 hour drive there. But I've gotten closer with him over the years. I actually wasn't very close to him sense he didn't really raise me. The reason is its because I moved out of Texas when I was like 6 and also, I don't really remember anything before 7. But there was this summer I decided to stay with him for A whole year which I don't regret at all. Its one of my best decision I've ever made. After that year we created more of a bond. Some memories I enjoy are us having movie nights with him and my step mom. we also played video games together which I really enjoy just because when I'm with my mom we don't really do anything am interested in. Its not a bad thing its just my mom doesn't enjoy it so we don't really play. But anyways some games we would play would be like Pokémon go. We would walk to different places to fight other Pokémon gyms and catch different/rare Pokémon. But at the end I decided to go back with my mom but I'm debating if I should move back with him.

I don’t think birth order has an effect on people's future. There are certain expectations and responsibilities you have as an older sibling. For example, when I was growing up my older brother always took care of us, when our parents were at work, like when he would make us food or make sure we did our homework. He was always like another parent. I'm a middle child, so I don’t really have many responsibilities because my older brother still lives with us, but my parents expect me to make my little brother food if I make some for me. I think the order you were born in only really matters at home, because out in the real world no one cares that you are a middle child.

Me and mom have a very strong relationship. all my business she knows, but let her tell it I do not have no business to share or tell. My mother is my life line. If I am in trouble or need help, I know for sure my mother going to be there front and center. A special moment that me and my mother shared was when she first started her party decorating business. Me and my mother both enjoy decorating and working on different arts and crafts to make party's look like, professionals came and designed it. we had started making name towers for people baby showers and birthday party, which allowed my mom to get more money and more people to ask for her help. A time that our relationship caused me to be embarrassed or shame was when I had got in trouble 5th grade. My mother knows that I care about what I put on when I go to school. she Know I love my Nikes, Jordan's, graphic tees and sweatshirts. When I got in trouble she sent me to school in a church dress, church shoes, and church socks. I was so embarrassed. She even took a picture it posted it on her Facebook so the whole fam could see.

The meaning behind this axiom is that it doesn't matter how long you live as long as you live your life to the fullest. I also agree with this axiom because if you live to be 100 and you don't do anything you just wasted those 100 years but if you live 70 and you accomplish all your goals and help other people you would have accomplished something. Some things i want to accomplish are making it to the NBA or NBA G League. I also want to own a C8 or a C3 Corvette. These goals are important to me because it shows that i worked hard for my talent to make the NBA and also shows the hard work i put in to get my cars.

I think family order affects somebody as they grow up but not their future. If you're the eldest child in the household there's a chance that you'll either be raised very loosely or very strictly because you're the first child and that's usually when people are new to parenting or experimenting. A lot of people would say that middle children would be the peace-keeper, or the social butterfly as they don't get the privilege's as the oldest or youngest children. Being the youngest child usually means that you get the most privilege's because you're the baby of the family and tend to get what you want when you want it. This may not be true since they're all stereotypes but that doesn't depict what happens in you future. Because one day children depart from their parents and goes to do their own things at your own will. You could still contribute to any of these stereotypes based on how you were treated as a child but its up to you if you change the way you act or choose to be treated

# data[].attributes.body
Does birth order matter? Personally being the youngest child I do feel like I am the baby of the family. As my sister would say I am spoiled and always get my way, but I don't think that's always true. My older sister is independent and is expected to be the responsible one. But I wouldn't say I'm not any less than what she is. People say the youngest have it easy. I don't think that's true I personally believe we are being but on a higher pedestal, having to meet these expectations of an older sibling. I try just as hard in school and maybe even harder then my sister, but the way we success in life shouldn't be told by our birth order. Yes we might be treated differently depending on age, but it doesn't make anyone less capable. - Joyous

I believe birth order does effect on some things in life. I am 14 years old while my oldest sister is 16 and I have more things to do in the house than all my other siblings. My other siblings get to go out every weekend when some weekends I'm stuck in the house wishing I could go somewhere. My mom is very hard on me especially when it comes to school, I understand she wants me to do good but she gets upset when my grades are bad but when my siblings grades are bad she just tells them to stop slacking. When my siblings get to go outside of the house and go hangout with their friends or whatever they go do, I'm stuck in the house cleaning or babysitting. I'm rarely allowed to go over to people's houses they sometimes have to come to my house. I don't think it can effect your future at all because only yourself can do that, but it does help you change things in your future.

I am the oldest sibling in my family and I feel like birth order does affect the future as well as the present. Being the oldest there's a lot of high expectations and because of that there's more judgement. I have this feeling like I have to be a perfect role model for my sisters. I'm overall a good daughter and student but I still make mistakes, I feel like my family is harder on me because I'm the oldest. I see that my parents still baby my siblings because their younger but I feel like they should work just as hard as me. I do a lot around the house and with my siblings and I think that will effect my future, by making me work harder to get things accomplished.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally think that birth order might have an effect on a persons future. The reason I think this is because of the fact that one might be overshadowed by a older brother or sister because of their accomplishments. The younger sibling might feel like they're not worth anything because of the things that their sibling is doing as well as the lavish praise that the sibling is getting from the parental figures. I'm the oldest child out of two male children, my brother is 3 (4 in March) and I'm 14. I worry about this happening to him because of the age gap between us.

I agree with statement because you don't want your life to be set like planed in a certain way. You should plain your life but also be able to  have fun while doing the plains or goals you want to do and/or achieve. Think about the stories you would tell your kids in the future if you some. You wouldn't want to just tell them " I graduated high school went straight to collage met you dad/mom and had you". You should want to tell them how when you were in high school you went to parties and had fun or how you did dumb stupid things. Like in high school, when I get older and my mom let's me go out, I want to be able to go out to parties or just go out of town for the weekend with friends and have fun. Once I graduate I want to be able to get in the University I want to get into and travel to different place's around the world. And one day be able to tell my family all the crazy adventures I went on when I was younger. I feel as if this statement is trying to say 'You only live one, so live it to the fullest'.

I believe this is talking about how you should live your life, you should never live your life just being alive, i think it means that you should live life to the fullest and enjoy every part of it. Specifically i think its talking about how lively you are in the years, how much you did and what you did and I completely agree with that statement. In my life try to live life great but due to where I live, there is not many things that pique my interest, but i have gone indoor skydiving, i very much enjoy long motorcycle rides especially when we turn and get close to the ground, I also enjoyed going spelunking in Japan, it was a one of a kind experience where i got to see hot springs in a cave. for my sixteenth birthday i want  to go skydiving. The is not much i would like to accomplish, I just don't want to spend my life tied down to one spot working a boring job, if I can travel that makes it even better, I love going to other countries and experiencing the culture.

Me and my dad were best friends when I was younger and he loved me and my siblings to death. But as I got older when I was about 11 he started to grow a lot more distant with us and tries to but our love with money now. My dad has always struggled with being an addict and it got worse more recently, and he doesn't live with us he lives up in Raleigh. I would go from seeing him every other week when I was younger to know only seeing him about 4 times a year. I cant really remember any times of success I had shared with him but we did both share a love for soccer when I was younger which is why I love it so much now. He causes a lot of embarrassment when out in public because he is typically high and is doing something stupid or yelling at a waiter for the smallest mistake an gets annoying. But that's my dad and I wish the old him was still around but that's gone and in the past so whatever.

I would agree with this statement. I believe this statement means that the time you spend in the years means more than the time the years take. It's meant to highlight the accomplishments and valuable time spent in the years rather than the years being time alone. Some things I would like to accomplish in my life is to fulfill my role as an ethical hacker and cybersecurity specialist. I want to accomplish this because it brings me great pleasure knowing that I've helped people with my work. Some dreams I have are to help many people who are being exploited and abused because I know many of my friends who have experience in being used and exploited. This is what sparked my career pursuit in ethical hacking because online many people take advantage of the clueless for monetary gain. Helping people has always been my most important goal in life.

I'm not a very superstitious person, I like to believe that my world is determined by my actions and that nothing else can control what I do and how I react. That being said, when it comes to sports... I will take any luck that I can get. I have slowly amassed pre-game traditions and methods that give me that slight edge over the competition. I feel like being a goalkeeper and a kicker somewhat caused this because of the pressure and instinct involved. Some of my superstitions are, kissing the post on close shots, rolling my shorts up, spitting in my gloves, and not looking up. Kissing the post and rolling up my shorts both stemmed from the fact the I did them once and a positive result regularly was returned. Spitting in my gloves works kind of like a, getting into sports mode/mindset. Lastly, not looking up when I kick field goals. I found that looking up at the uprights before, during, or after the kick will guarantee a miss. So I don't, I just trust my instinct.

I believe that the axiom "It's not the years in the life but the life in the years that matters." is true because no matter how long you live, if you have a bland life of doing the same thing over and over again, you aren't living life to the fullest. Therefore you would be living the years in the life. It's as my father says "You only Yolo once"

I personally don't think that birth order determines your future. Your future is chosen by the actions you make and what you do, which can be influenced by birth order and your role in the family. I'm the youngest in my family and I can say that I'm not as responsible as my older brother. When we were younger, he would take care of me whenever our mom wasn't around. He would sometimes have to clean up after me when I was really little. He does a lot more than me, mostly due to being the oldest (and the strongest) sibling. I believe things like that and your experiences can affect your future, but your birth order doesn't determine it, but can still influence it, depending on the person and their family.

Birth Order
Birth Order has played a role in how we are treated. In royal families the oldest are often the ones to inherit the crown and in civilian families the oldest our often the ones to inherit  their parents bagged.

Being the eldest sibling in a family comes with a large responsibility, parents want their oldest to be prefect so that their younger children can look up to them. As the oldest sister i have to have good grades, a job, and babysitter while my middle school aged sister is able to roll by with failing marks and behavior problems at school.

while the oldest siblings deal with being pressured to be prefect, middle children tend to struggle to fit in with their family and our often over looked due to their older siblings and younger sibling accomplishments and needs. And younger children
tend to be cuddled and babied for longer periods of time and they are often never aloud to do what their older sibling are doing or have done because their parents will always think of them as their little baby.

The person I am writing about is my older brother. Me and my older brother are really close with each other. Even though he is 18 years old he still plays around and make jokes with me and my other brother. A special moment of sucess that me and my brother shared is when we were both practicing with each other for this big basketball tournament and we both got top 3, and it was a big sucess for the both of us. A time that caused embarrassment or shame with one another is when I was in this phase to where I didn't want to talk or look at anyone not even him and things became rocky for us.

I agree with this statement because I found that I remember some years more than others. I do this because in some years, quarantine, for example, my life wasn't eventful. I remember distant memories of some years, but they don't even feel like years because of how fast they went by. Even though it was 5 years ago, I have a lot of good memories from 2017. A lot of events happened that year, and it gave my memories colors. Everything seemed more vivid in a sense. I want every year to be like that from now on so I think I need to get out more and live a little more. I wish to accomplish great things in school and in my sport to remember, colorful and vivid high school days.

We were on the verge of winning, but I got tired near the end and slowed down, allowing someone to catch up, although it was a tight match.

I don't think the age of someone is important. You could be 80 and have done nothing with your life, but someone could be 30 and be very successful and run their own businesses. Someone teenagers have experienced more than some people in the 70's. It is what you do during your life that matters, not how long your life lasts. If you sit around feeling sorry for yourself and doing nothing about it for the rest of your life, you're not going to get anywhere. If you actually do something with your life and at least try to succeed, that is still better than doing nothing. If you don't succeed the first time, keep doing it until you do. As long as you are happy with how your life is and what you've accomplished, that is all that matters. It doesn't matter how long you live as long as you are happy.

I do not believe that birth order can effect someone's future. Only that person can do that by the decisions they have made. However, birth order can have a role in your family depending on the household you live in. For example I am the second oldest of 5 children and I am the one that is always taking care of my sisters when my mom is not there, and my younger sisters don't do anything they just watch tv all day. But overall it all depends on your family and you as a person.

I do follow some superstitions but they don't really have a significant impact on my life. For example, one of them is "Don't stick your chopsticks straight up in rice or it's a sign of bad luck and death." I have always been told this ever since I was a kid and so I never stuck my chopsticks in rice or really anything. Another superstition is after you get a new bag, put a penny inside it before you use it. I'm not sure why this is a thing, it has to deal with bad luck as well. Now that I'm thinking about it, I follow quite a few superstitions. I didn't realize they were superstitions until I looked them up. To name a few more: "Don't walk under a ladder.", "Don't place two mirrors in front of each other.", "Avoid pressing the number 4 in an elevator.", "Don't open an umbrella indoors.", "Always pray and say thanks before a meal.", "When receiving something, always take/grab it with both hands.", "Don't put your purse/bag on the floor.", "Knock on wood.", etc. Most of these says that if they happen, you'll have bad luck, you'll be trapped in He--, or you'll become broke. I'm not sure where they started from, I've just always been told to do these things so I've just grown to do them or to not do them.

In my family, I am the first born son to my mom and dad. I was born in 2006 on the 24th of November, and I actually messed up Thanksgiving for my relatives. Anyway, I feel that being the first born has many effects on said individual. I don't think that birth order has an effect on an individual's success. However, I feel like being the first born, my parents put a lot of pressure on me. They want me to get good grades, get into a good college, and get a good paying job so I don't die from hyperglycemia or something. Which are all normal things that most parents want for their kids, but for me all it really does is put pressure on me. I am 7 years older than my youngest of 2 brothers, and the fact that they don't need to worry about college or jobs kind of stresses me out. I'm all alone in this battle, no one else in my family is in my situation. But it's not just academic expectations that are stressing me out, it's my responsibilities as well. I have chores like most other kids, and not many for that matter. But both my parents often work late, so I am left at home with two brothers (which they can take care of themselves just fine), and 2 dogs, one of which is a hyperactive puppy, and both like to get into everything they're not supposed to. Which makes it hard for me to focus on things like homework and projects. Now don't get me wrong, I like being the oldest with all my privileges and independence, but it does create some unwanted pressure and stress when it comes to responsibilities.

I do follow a few superstitions, but I have one main one that I follow. This is opening an umbrella inside is bad luck. I know this doesn't seem like a big one but for me it is. If my family opens an umbrella inside or if I know that they are about to I get away and close my eyes. I believe this superstition because as a kid I would be playing and open an umbrella inside. Then bad things would happen so ever since then I never opened another umbrella inside.

I plan and hope to accomplish anything I put my mind to. I dream to be someone's reason to be alive, and someone who makes memories. life is very unpredictable so we have to take the risks and chances that we get and make the best out of them.

I think the order you was born doesn't actually matter. like I believe it do but then I believe it doesn't. Here's why, cause if your like 10 years apart or like my mom and my uncle. Which my uncle is like 5 now and my mom is 39.(of course were not allowed to talk to him and my grandpa like that). Then at that point it does matter, cause your going up during different times and it will effect you guys future and relationship. If your like two years apart then it doesn't really affect to be honest. Depends on how your parents choose to parent. If your in a family that believes the oldest should be the most responsible and  the middle kid is never noticed, but the last one should be spoiled to death(my mom side) then the outcome of the oldest and middle and youngest will be very different. If you have a pretty fair family then the outcomes shouldn't be that far off. Then again everyone is there own person and you can change that.

Nobody knows exactly when they're going to die, could be at literally any point in your life. Your here for a short amount of time and then your gone. I believe that the amount of years between the start and end does not matter nearly as much as the things you do in that time. Personally, in my lifetime I'd like to buy a sportbike and cruise around America for a couple years. I'd also like to volunteer globally and see the world while helping it grow. Lastly, I'd like to buy some land in Maine or Colorado and just live out my time there. My ultimate goal is to get through college with no student debt, make a difference in some peoples lives, and then find something that I enjoy doing.

It's Not the Years in Life but the Life in Years

# data[].attributes.body
I personally agree with the statement "It's Not the Years in Life but the Life in Years". I agree with it because I believe that how long you live doesn't determine how good your life is, it's what you do with those years. If you didn't enjoy your life, but had a very long life, was it even really a good life? Personally, in my life there are many things I hope to do, no matter how long or short it is. I want to continue learning and go to college. I want to make a life for myself where I enjoy what I do because no one will be here, on Earth, forever. While I am here I want to enjoy as much as I can. I know that not everything will be perfect, that there will be days where I'm upset or stressed, but as long as I can look back and say that enjoyed my life, no matter how long or short it will be, that means I lived a good life.

I do agree with this axiom because living a full happy life is important. Somethings that I would like to experience is travel and skydiving. Some goals I have is to become a veterinarian, move back to the city, and to buy a nice car. These goals and experiences are important to me because they are what makes me who I am, they are what I want to live a happy life.

I always thought that its important to live a long life, but realizing its not about how long you live, but how you choose to live your life. You can possibly live for 100 years, but your life be boring and meaningless. Although I want to live long, what I want more is to spend my life with meaning, doing the things I love most, trying new things, go on adventures, taking risk. Just being able to live the life I want and take on some new risk in life, make it interesting and filling my life with purpose with the ones I cherish, that's what I call living. Unless some people want to live a safe. peaceful, clam life. Just Live your fullest with no regret. - Joyous

In my opinion this statement is correct. I feel like no matter how many years you live the way you live you life is very important. For example you may live a long life but haven't lived it to the fullest is it really worth it to live. Like the one statement everyone says "live you life to the fullest" because if you just sit there staying safe and not taking risk life isn't exciting and you will have more regrets in life. But even if you have a short lifespan but took risk and enjoyed every little moment with family and friends there is less regret. For me I try to enjoy everyday and just do what I want to do because one day I'm going to be laying down looking at my ceiling and wondering why I didn't just do it. I want to accomplish many things in the future for example I want to travel to different country's which is very cliché But I would like to explore and admire different cultures. Hopefully one day I will experience everything I've always wanted in the future.

My sister and I are very close and she is basically my best friend. We both have our ups and downs but, at the end of the day those won't matter. We have had many more good times than bad and that is what counts the most. She has been there for me as long as I can remember, supporting me with my goals, and making sure I don't get myself in bad situations. I would do the same for her. She has helped me through so many tough times by being there and talking to me. I am grateful that I have her for a sister and wouldn't ask for anything more.

I do not think that birth order has an effect on a persons future. I believe people lifestyle and lifestyle choices effect a person future. I also do believe that birth order affects the role you have in your family. In my family I am the middle child. YES! I am that child that bring my mother the most head- aches I view my role in the family as someone who brings excitement, adventure, laughs, even though I am the child that's get into the most trouble. TBH, my family would be boring if i did not live up in that house. I am the dare devil in the family so anytime somebody in my family need somebody to try something, go on a roller coaster, do something dumb, or anything my family call on KayKay. The role that I play in my family may have shaped my future by causing me to be a little but more tough skinned and over protective when it come to family. I'm the person in the family who can mess with everybody, tease them, hit them or whatever, but as soon as somebody outside of the family do it, I'm mad. this is how i see birth order, if you are the first child you are most likely independent, you stay to your self, you make good grades, and you barely get in trouble. if you are the middle child, you are most likely the bad one, the one with anger issues, the one that gets in trouble the most and the one that probably enjoy doing the most dangerous stuff. if you are the youngest child or only, you are the baby out of the bunch, you can get away with a lot of stuff, you spoiled, you get your way most of the time, and you don't do much, you are like angels in your parents eyes but the complete opposite in your siblings eyes.

People be going through a lot behind closed doors, they believe if you live day by day then everything will be okay and be done and over faster. That's not how it works, you have to live life to the fullest. Be your own person, do your own thing, just live the way you want. Not how someone else think you should. Don't be afraid to be an outcast, not everyone is going to fit in and that's great cause you don't need to fit in, a nd worry about what everyone else is doing. So yeah I believe regardless what anyone says, take risk or just be yourself.

The person I chose to write about is my mom. My mom has always been my role model. I look up to my mom because she is a hard worker and has always made sure me and my siblings never need or want anything. She has always made sure that we didn’t have to experience the things she did growing up. I don’t always agree with my mom and the decisions she makes, but I've never been through the things she has and had to make those decisions. My relationship with my mom has never really caused me embarrassment, other than the occasional corny joke. I like to hear stories about her childhood and look at how different it is from mine. Hearing about her childhood and just her life in general helps me understand why she does the things she does.

Yes, I do think birth order has effects on a person's future. In my family I am the middle child. If you are the youngest you usually get everything handed to you and don't get in trouble much. If you are the oldest child your parents are hardest on you and expect the most out of you. They also expect you to set an example for your younger siblings and keep them safe.

The family member I chose is my older sister. I have a pretty stable relationship with her. We've gone from major arguments and fighting to always clinging to each other. I think the most successful thing we've done together is help her set up her new apartment but it was still special to me. Something that happened between that was embarrassing was when we tried those jelly fruit candies and mines burst all over her car. Though I don't want to admit it, I do miss her since she moved out. I am glad that she still stays nearby.

"Honor thy father and mother, and you'll shall have long life on earth." One of ten commandments in the Hebrew bible. My grandfather would repeat the phrase every time I saw him. Sometimes I have this strange feeling that I'm doing to die young. I'd continuously disobey my parents, for years and years. I practically did whatever. Decided on what days I would attend school and even the time I wanted to go back home. It wasn't long before I was forced to go live with my biological dad. I had no choice but to correct my behavior. Since I treated my parents poorly, I often question my own life span.

"It's not the years in the life but the life in the years that matters." I strongly agree with this quote. I feel as if anyone can have a great life, no matter how short. For example, Tupac was killed when he was just 25 years old. Look how much he impacted the black community and the music industry of course. His most popular songs addressed real world issues. Such as poverty, gang violence, racial discrimination, and how messed up our criminal justice system is. Unfortunately he was still very young when he died. He had more to share with the world.

I would say that I agree with statements. We have seen many successful people who didn't reach the top until they passed their fifties. If we put in effort to accomplish our dreams they'll likely come true, even if it comes a little later than expected. I want to complete school in graphic design and start a career in that field. I would also like to start a business. These are important to me because I would to share my ideas and work with the world, whatever they happen to be.
