Growing up as a kid i was the youngest of three kids in my family. My brother is seven years older than me and everything he did i wanted to do, everything he got i wanted to get. I was that annoying younger brother. Whether it was for the good or bad, he influenced me to the person i am today more than anything.
At a young age i watched my brother playing all kinds of sports and i watched him excel in them. Although i didnt really have a choice of playing sports, there was nothing i wanted to do more than to be able to play sports like my brother did. Him being seven years older than me, i never really had the chance to participate in anything with him. Therefore, because of that at the age 8 that honestly was my biggest dream.
As i got older it seemed like he influenced me in every way possible. As much as my mom hated it, when he was listening to rap and things that an 8 year old shouldn't be listening to, i only wanted to go onto limewire and download that music. When he got a blow out, even though i was only 12 i wanted to get one.
Everything he did i wanted to do. But as i got older and became my own person i began to learn a lot of important things. I love my brother to death, but no matter what it is important to find out who you are and not let other people influence you completely. I was a young kid and it is common for younger siblings to want to be like their older siblings. I learned a lot from my brother, good and bad, and it is because of him that i am my own person today and i do things that i want to do.
