We run to them when we’re the ones being bullied; the ones we tattletale to our parents when a vintage mirror gets broken; the ones we conspire with when we want to get rid of our babysitter. We can live with them, we can’t live without them. Siblings, that’s what they are called. I have six brothers, and one sister, and they all are older than me.

I went up to him and asked him “can you teach me how to play basketball”.He said “sure I can.”

When it was my seventh grade year, I decided to play basketball. I played my first game of basketball, and I started off pretty much shy. When I saw my brother in the stands, I knew right then he was going to be cheering me on. So, I said to myself “you don’t have to be shy just play like my brother showed me.”
