My childhood left
three months ago on a plane to Austria.
It was a1day
when my baby cousins moved away. My cousins were a fundamental (十分重要的) part of my life; 2 they were not with me, they
were on my mind. They brought back the untroubled days of my childhood, 3games, adventures and silliness, but they also helped4 me from an at-times selfish
teenager into a responsible adult.
My aunt and uncle
moved here from Boston with their 1-year-old daughter Yasmeen. They lived in an
apartment on the side of our house and I was5to have our family, especially a baby girl, so close to us. Yasmeen
had close friendships with each of my sisters, but I knew the one that6between us was the strongest. As she began to walk on her own and
talk in full sentences, I realized my great7upon her. I noticed that she'd8some of my unpleasant
actions, 9 with her mother after I had done the same.
Yasmeen made me realize what being a good 10 really was.
When Maya was
born, Yasmeen had a hard time 11. She was jealous(妒忌) of the attention we all paid to her new
younger sister, so I did my best to keep her company(陪伴)
when she might have not been 12. Once Yasmeen overcame her jealousy,
she was able to 13 Maya's presence, like we all did. I tried to
take advantage of our times together, doing my best to 14 my schedule for my two
favorite people.
My 15 with Yasmeen and Maya has
taught me the importance of influential people. I know that I have helped
Yasmeen and Maya 16, but "the babies" have had
an even greater influence on my own life. They have shown me how to be a
parent, a sister, a child, and most importantly, a friend. Our 17 has made me a better person—a
more patient person, with the ability to 18endless questions and spilled (洒) juice;19enthusiastic(热心的) person, able to have fun and be happy with others; a role model,20the babies ideas about right and wrong, and a compassionate person,
able to forgive and love.
