It is a parent's joy to see their children progressing and excelling in their academics. Whose parents did not allow their children to be recognized in class, right? When we were young, there was a hidden excitement within whenever we got a star stamp on our hands or paper activities. We will come home full of joy because we know our parents will be happy. 

As we all grow, the lessons and discussions we encounter are becoming more difficult to comprehend and understand. Well, that is totally natural since the knowledge we should know must be aligned to our age and level. I saw development from my sisters, the strat they were born. I am the firstborn child in the family so some responsibilities of my parents were passed down to me and that includes taking care of my siblings. Their assignments, activities, and such. 

My sister who followed me in age had a recognition yesterday. It was held in Robinson General Trias cinema. I didn't know why it was held there because as far as I know, her current school has its own covered court. But, I guess some parents on PTA requested it to be held in that place since the school is private. Oh yes, the school my sister enrolled in this senior high school is a private school. 

We are not rich. It was just the voucher given by the government that catered the tuition and such. So, it was a good opportunity for her to study in private school, and at least experience it. What I am glad about is that she really didn't waste it. Like, the opportunity is already given and you should just work on it. I saw her struggles because everything is new for me. The activities, competitions, projects and even assignments are totally different from public schools. 

Unlike me, she struggles to write. I can say that she is quite weak in writing, but her speaking skills are superb. Although I mentioned before that I joined the Broadcasting team in journalism back then. But, her pronunciation and clarity is way better than mine. Despite all these lackings, she was invited to join journalism too. I think she competed in copyreading, Filipino Category. Her first try was good because she placed 9th. Not totally bad for a newbie like her. 

This is a photo of her and our mother. They are both smiling for the achievements my younger sister had. Well, I am truly proud of her even if there's no medals like this. I felt like I'm their second father for I am the one who has taken care of them since young. She received four medals here. I don't know particularly what they represent. I didn't ask her too much about it. 

Oh, as you can see this is the photo of her friends in school, basically her classmates. There are 19 in class and only 8 were awarded. The remaining 11 are not invited since they are not in the top or didn't join any competition and win. I'm sad about that part though. Only 1 boy is standing there, kudos to you brother! At the very least there is one boy in her class who did the best and attained what he had. 

Oh, three certificates and four medals in this photo. What amazing achievements you have there, sister. This brother of yours is proud of you and I know your hardships along the way. Although sometimes, I am very annoyed by your endless questions about anything. Well, at least it has paid off. I'm sure our parents are so proud of you. Look at our mother's post on her Facebook wall. Their proudness is very evident and our relatives as well. 

We just bought boxes of pizzas and cooked fries as part of the celebration. Well, I ate slices of it. I'm so hungry at that time. I haven't taken any photos since my phone is charging. I don't dare to unplug and plug in back. All her achievements in her academics were the reflection of her actions and discipline. I know some say that grades are just a number, but for an achiever, it was more than that. Something sentimental and sacred. 

Actually, when I saw her on the stage. All the memories I had when I was receiving my certificates and medals flashed back in my mind. It feels good that your sister is also doing the same thing, no, not the same thing but similar. Who wouldn't love to see his sibling being recognized in front? We all desire that for our children and our siblings. What I noticed about my sister is her ability to adapt to her new environment fast. Also, her drawing skill and vocal skill are both sharpening which is totally good. 

I just wanted to say that if you and your siblings are always quarreling over nonsensical things over and over again. I think you both should talk about it. Thus, what good we can get from those quarrels right? Nothing at all. If you are the firstborn in the family, you know the struggle and responsibilities we have. Sometimes, it's good to embrace the lackings and faults of each other rather than blaming and conspiring. Be a good brother or sister because at the very end, you are family always and forever.
