Learn to Budge

When I was 8 years old, a little boy baby was born. His name is Glenn Emmanuel Abraham. He is my beloved little brother. I love him so much. I was so happy when I heard that my mother has been born a new little brother for me. I directly call my father to bring me to the hospital too, to met with my mother and of course my new little brother. I felt so happy at that time and I always told to my friend about my new little brother when we have short conversation.

And until around 1 month, there is something different happened to me. Sometimes I felt very happy but sometimes I am not believed that I will be an older sister. Its mean that I must share anything with him. Especially for my mother’s care. I feel envy, because my mother often keeps on eye on my little brother. I often cry at that time and I always said to my father that I am not comfort with this situation. It was happened around 1 year. At that time, my rank in school was drop because my mother that usually accompany me to learn, now just focus to my little brother needed.

 Then one day after I accept my achievement report in elementary school, my father asks me to talk with him. He asks me why my score was dropped so far from the previous one. And I said that it is my little brother fault. Then I said that imagine that he never came, so mom does not left me alone to learn. Then wisely my father answers my statement that you are the first child in this family and God has arranged it. Its mean that you can face up your problem now. I just keep silent to hear my father’s advice. And start from that time I try hard to change my previous bad habit. And I success to proved to my parents that I can do better in the next grader.
