It’s obvious that my sister and I have fewer differences than similarities. Leslie, my sister, likes to drink and party. I on the other hand could care less about all that, but in the same breath we are alike in so many ways. There are several things that are very important to the both of us.
In the adulthood of my sister she has went back to school to get her GED. When she was in high school she ended up dropping out, and now that she is grown she looks back and regrets the day she dropped out, because she now knows how important it is to get an education. When she is finished getting her GED she is going to get her CNA license’s. The education of her children is very important as well. She sees to it everyday that her children get the education they need to make it through life.
Leslie has two small children, Dillion and Emily. They are another important factor in her life. She loves them very much. Leslie didn’t think she was going to be able to have children, but she kept trying anyway and finally got pregnant. She had a few complications while she was pregnant, in fact she died on the operating table with Dillon. Leslie, is really dedicated to her children. They are a very important part of her life.
Marriage is a really big factor in her life as well. Leslie has been married twice. She got married when she was just nineteen years old, and was married for five years. Her husband was very abusive, and so after five years she was finally able to get out. Leslie, is now married to a great guy who treats her very well. Josh, who is Leslie’s husband, has very much respect for her unlike her other husband which is very important to her.
Now that I have told you about my sister let me tell you a little bit about me, and how I am like her. Education is very important to me. Without an education these days you are pretty much up a creek. I graduated high school in 1996. I then went on to get my EMT basic. I have always wanted to be in the medical field, but just really didn’t have the money to attend college at the time. I am now an adult, and have decided to go back to school at the age of thirty, to do something I have always wanted to do.
I too have two small children, Christian and Haileigh they are my life. They are the reason I get up, and come to school every day. I want my children to see me going to school, so maybe they will do the same when they get out of high school. I try to be a good role model for my children. My children are very important to me, and it is my goal to see that they have everything they need, maybe not everything they want, but definitely everything they need. I will do whatever it takes to make sure my children are taken care of.
I am not married at the time, nor have I ever been married. I have been in three serious relationships. The first relationship was for seven years, he was abusive, and I had no choice but to get out. The second one was for two and a half years seriously, but on and off for four years. He just wasn’t ready to grow up, and I had to get away from that. I had a baby and I didn’t need another one. I am now with a guy going on six years come June. Jason is great. He is good to me and my children. We are going to get married, after I get out of school I just want to make sure he is the one. People don’t get married for love anymore it’s more for lust. They don’t take it as serious as people did back in the old days. Nowadays people get married, stay married for a year and get a divorce. I don’t want that - I want something that’s going to last a long time, and I guess maybe that’s why I haven’t gotten married yet. That is how important marriage is to me.
