For myself I am learning to be truthful, I am not always successful. It is far too easy to be a peacemaker and cover over the harder facts that occur in everyday life. In
reality I would much rather have those rosy outlooks. I am just not sure the cost is worth it.

Waiting for the Birth Day
It was the cold days in October. My group had won the hockey competition against Saratoga 2 – 1. I was devastated,
tired but happy. Then, my mother told me that she had to go to
the doctor
that day.
“What’s for?”
I questioned
her. Suddenly,
I became
nervous thinking
kinds of
disease that
might be suffered by my mother. “Yeah…” she was in doubt answering my question. I became
so worried. “I’m pregnant” said my mother. “What?” I yelled.
“Pregnant” she replayed. I couldn’t say a word. I was scared. I had to share my
mother I
didn’t want
my mother
to have
any children
after she married to my step father. This was a selfish feeling, I
didn’t want
to share
my mother,
even just
for the
smallest part
But, when
I saw
my step
father, he
was very
happy waiting for his first child. I was happy too. And I couldn’t
wait to tell everyone about this happiness, but, on the other hand, I have to cope my fear and anger.
My parents involved in preparing for the all this that related
to the
baby such
as name
and decorating
the baby’s
room. But I was scared. I was scared to be passing from my family.
On that July 17, knowing that the baby would show up in a moment, I felt insecure. What my life will be? Will I be a
baby-sitter? What I have to sacrifice? The baby is coming …… All
my fear
was disappeared.
When I
saw MY
LITTLE SISTER I couldn’t describe my feelings at that time. I could
only imagine
that my
mother would
accompany me
to wait
for the school bus with my little sister. And she would ask me to
play with her before I take off my jacket. I realize, now, that there is plenty of love for EMMA,
my little
sister. My
hatred assuming
that she
would seize
something in
my life
was banished.
She brings
happiness. I
don’t want to exchange this happiness of being her sister.
