To my Brother

When someone asks you “Who is your biggest role model and why?” normally people say their parents or some famous figurehead. They don’t typically say their brother.

For me, though, my brother is Jagpreet Singh and has always been my biggest role model.

He has supported me, cheered me on, given me (mostly) unbiased advice, and has simply been there for me my entire life.

He has shown me that having a real personality, and not hiding it, will get you a long way. He taught me that being weird and unique is a good thing and if someone else can’t see that, they aren’t worth the time or effort.

From my brother, I have learned to love comic books, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Pokémon, and movies so bad they’re good.

Growing up with him, I was taught how to drive car with a proper ways.

Even though I think all of these things are important skills to have, I know that my brother has taught me some even more important things, whether he knows it or not.

While watching his experience in college when I was only in secondry school, I told myself that I would get my degree to make him proud. Now that I am extremely close to that goal, I have set an even higher one for myself, again for my brother.

This might seem weird to people; typically people go to college for themselves or to please their parents. I think I have a unique case, though.

My brother is 9 years older than me, so we do  have that typical  brother relationship. We rarely fought the way siblings do. We were, and still are, best brother, even with the age.

One of the things that was enhanced by this age difference was how much I looked up to him. I wanted to do and like everything he did. He read Harry Potter, so I did too. He watched Pokémon every morning before school and I was right there next to him every morning. He could skateboard, so I tried to learn too. He played videogames and taught me to as well. I wanted to do everything he did, and in some ways I wanted to do more.

That all from my brother story.😀😀
