30 Days Writing Challenge: My Siblings
In the family, we are ***five siblings*** and I'm the third which means I'm the middle child. I guess you heard a lot when it comes to being a middle child already. It's either you are not noticed or you bear all the responsibilities. In my case, I experienced both of them but not at the same time. *Let's talk about it as I wrapped it all up in this challenge*.
The ***first born***, which is our eldest brother, at first has all the attention. He excels in school and my parents are proud of him. He seems to have a talent in electronics since he excels in that area when he was still studying. Never did we think that he is an introvert also and much worse than me if he doesn't graduate in high school. He was fond of hanging out with his closest friends back then, but then, when they graduated and they haven't seen each other ever since, he doesn't want to get out of the house already. He doesn't want to take a vocational course either. I introduced ***noise.cash*** to him, and he snapped but he dropped it after a month of using it. Since he was like that, the responsibility goes to the ***second born*** who is our second elder brother. But before he could take over, he ruined his life, too. He put it all to waste by dropping out of school and working in the fields just so he can provide for his vices. He isn't an introvert but he got too pressured by his peers that he did everything that they are doing. We tried saving him by enrolling him in an ***Alternative Learning System*** class and he did attend all the classes and the reviews but he didn't take the exam in the end, and all his effort got wasted. Now he is just contented on working here in the countryside, then drinking and smoking with his peers when work is over in the afternoon. And, that's why the responsibility goes to me, the ***middle child***. I'm just supposed to support my child since I'm a single parent but seeing the situation that my parents are in and with their old age, it's impossible for me to just ignore it. Since they are the ones who are taking care of my child, I just take it as gratitude for their effort. Half of my income every month is given to them, so that my parents wouldn't work anymore. I'm also the one who is financing our farmlands which is a lot to shoulder but, *who will if I don't?* **No one**. Then, my parents would lend money from the lenders again but they can't have a good profit from their crops because the middleman will just buy it from them at a low price. They can only pay the interest every month and that already happened to them. If I didn't pay for it all, they will be paying the interest until now. Next to me is ***Junior***, our third brother. I'm thankful that even if he does have a lot of friends and he does have vices, too, he still finished high school. He just graduated last year. Since my parents can't get him to college, he tried applying to ***TESDA*** but they didn't have any response yet until now. He is working for now here in the countryside while waiting for the school's response. Lastly, the ***youngest***, my only sister. She was the foolish and the most stubborn of us all. Well, we can't blame her for being like that since she was raised that was never been scolded since she was a child. There is that unspoken rule in the countryside that the youngest gets all the attention and the youngest deserves to be pampered. Now, you see what it is like here, so many superstitions in our everyday lives that were the basis of how we are raised. She got pregnant at 17, and now they are living together with her boyfriend. They are even building their house beside ours. She beats me with that. At least, her boyfriend is working hard for them. Here is Day 11! *That's totally messed up, right?* If ever that there's something common among us, that's being generous and the sympathy that we have for each other. In case one of us needs help, we unite to help. Then, quarrel afterward, but yeah, at least we helped each other first, lol. That's should be for today's challenge. Thanks for reading!

Ngayon ko lang to nalaman ate yung mga ganap sa mga kapatid mo. Hmm. I hope yung bunsong lalaki nyo is mag-aral pa. Sayang opportunities ate no? Libre naman tuition sa mga state university at may mga scholarships din pong binigay. He can grab it po.
Meron naman, kailangan lang maaga mag enroll pero kasi malayo din school samin saka ang mahal na ng pamasahe kaya mag-iipon na lang daw muna. Kukunin ko rin yan kapag naging okay na kalagayan ko sa Bacolod.
Sayang naman po si elder at di tinuloy. Hindi po kaya may personal problem sya?
Mainipin kasi, kapag matagal ayaw na niya, at saka kapag alam niyang mahihirapan siya, bibitawan na niya. Di kasi sila marunong magtiis tiis kagaya ko.
Kapag bunso nga naman minsan parang apo HAHAHA
Nasobrahan sa pag spoiled po. Ayan tuloy hahaha
Nako sa bunso kong kapatid di naman sya spoiled pero kapag tulog gang tanghali okay lang okaya nung maliit pa sya, kung ano gustong gawin hahayaan lang magdadahilan lang ng konti ts pag pinagalitan ko ako pa papagalitan ng nanay ko. Hahahah kipisti
Ganun din kami, haha! Pag pinagalitan namin, papagalitan din kami. Ayan ngayon, pinagalitan nila, ayaw na makinig sa kanila, sumasagot pa. Buti na lang wala ako dito nung sumagot sa nanay ko, ay masasampal ko talaga siya.
Sayang naman yong sa kuya mo, but I guess do nya talaga gustong mag aral. Pero if ever no mas mapapaganda sana life nya if tumuloy sya. Youre shouldering it all so sana bigyan kapa ng super madaming lakas to help your oldies ᕙ(͡°‿ ͡°)ᕗ
Kinakaya pa naman, Rupa. Pero parang need ko na maghanap ng part-time job ngayon.
Maigi naman, hanap na for sure naman may mahahanap ka yan.
Ang hirap naman pala ng situation mo po. I hope your siblings will realize the things that they have to change for the better and make the wrong decisions they've made right because there will always be a chance.
Pinagdadasal ko din yan. Ay, kaso matitigas din mga ulo eh.
Iba iba rin pala ng situation niyo po and sana makapag isip-isip sila na mag-aral ulit ...Lalo na ngayon na free sa mga state universities...Ako gusto ko mag aral pero wag muna kasi may mas mahalaga pa..
Meron nga libre, malayo naman yung school samin. Mahal din kasi pamasahe eh, saka pang baon pa at school supplies.
Yun lang ..kung malayo ..baka mas malaki pa yung back and fort na pamasahe kesa sa tuition kapag..
I am so proud of you for taking the responsibility of taking care of your aged parents. Your brothers can be better people in the future, just keep on talking to them to change their ways.
Ye, I will. I'm not giving up on them.
ahem not all youngest are born and raised spoiled ahemmmm...
Hahaha. Bunso ka din po?
yessssssss hehehe
