2. I believe
I believe that people have different views. Everyone is
different. My experiences in life might be similar but they are
not the same as any other person. Lately, my sister and I rarely
get alone because her point of view is very different than mine.
I really let it go sometimes, however, she starts opening up the
same issue over and over and I just cannot help myself but
being honest to her about how I think. I believe we should
respect other people’s views and value their perspective.
For me, the most valuable people in my life are my family
members and my best friends. However, one of my best friends
is my sister, Suzan. Suzan is only older than me by a year. We
don’t get along most of the time but we are there for each other
at all times. She tells me her stories. I tell her my stories. The
only thing that I really cannot share with her is my point of
view. Although she is unarguable, I do understand why she
would act that way in most of the time. My sister was not
always like that. Life experiences had changed her just like they
change me as well. On the other hand, I believe she needs time
to realize that not everyone can follow her vision for life. I
believe hard work pays off. I believe that I should only look
into what I have and have ambitious to do more. Unlike my
sister, she believes some people should not have what they have
and it is not fair for others. Well, I can not agree with that.
We all have different experiences in life that teaches us
different values. Here we are, two people from the same family,

3. raised in the same way but have different characters and
perspectives. I am more goals oriented towards myself, what I
have and what I can do. My sister lately has become more
concentrated on what others’ have and what they are doing with
what they have. For example, she always talks about her friend,
who doesn’t work but has everything. She always tells me how
her friend complains to her about her problems but never
follows her advices. When I told my sister that maybe she talks
to you because she considers you her best friend so she trusts
you. Then, she tells you because she needs someone to listen to
her rather than giving her advices. My sister got really upset.
She did not like what I told her. She said that if she will not
follow her advices then her friend should not tell her about her
problems. This is where it comes the difference in point of
views. I believe that her friend’s perspective on talking to
someone is different than hers and hers is different than mine.
However, when I realized that she will not accept my
perspective, I respected hers and changed the subject. Few days
later, I saw my sister again, and again we had another
disagreement.
Sometimes people are hurt from deep from other things, we
just need to understand them and give them the chance so that
they could understand themselves. It was a Wednesday morning,
my sister and I went to a bakery. I really did not like their
thyme bread; however, my sister said everyone likes them and
they come from everywhere because it is one of the best
bakeries in town. I had to remind my sister that I am pregnant
and I do not taste things the same way she does. But at the end,
I had to lie so that we do not get into argument again. On the
other side, few minutes later, Suzan started to open up about her
friend again. I started realizing that she is really jealous of her
friend because there are things that she wants to accomplish
herself and she cannot do. I was bothered that she would speak
about her friend because her friend had stood by her for every
time she needed her. However, my sister’s concentration was

4. that her friend doesn’t work, has only two kids, goes out most
of the times and buys from expensive stores. Unlike her, who
has five kids, could not finish her school since we got pregnant,
and has to accommodate her budget of spending. So, I believe
that I could not understand my sister as well until I saw her
crying on how she has so much to do during the day that she
cannot really enjoy by taking a break. Thus, it was important
that I do respect her and just listen to her.
Sometimes, I believe we need to listen to others with our
hearts and not by our ears. When I look at my sister, I see a
great woman, who is constantly thinking of her kids and doing
the best for them. However, I believe that I concentrated so
much on our differences as she would tell me something that I
forgot to remind her of the beautiful things that she had
achieved throughout the years. She has four talented kids. Her
oldest two are in middle school, in honored classes. Her
husband loves her so much and is always there for her. She just
had a new born baby girl, who is adorable. On the other side,
our parents are not here. It is only my sister and I in America.
We have no relatives and we both live far from each other. I do
visit my sister so often; however, lately, I couldn’t visit her as
much because of the complication throughout my pregnancy. I
spoke with my sister that maybe we should try to invite our
mother to come and stay with us for a while but then my dad is
also having two surgeries this month. Thus, what I realized that
my sister had so much feeling of loneliness that I also had in
me; however, she expressed it in different way and I was
expressing it in different way. So, it is important that we realize
that it is not our differences that bring us apart but not valuing
our perspectives and others as well.
I believe that now I learned from my sister’s experience that
sometimes people do not express their true feelings because
they might not be comfortable themselves with it. I believe that
sometimes people try to tell us something and we understand it

5. different way and instead of helping them, we make things
worse for them. At the end, we all are human but we have
different way in looking into things so we feel different towards
certain things; thus, I finally believe that I also had not have
respected my sister’s point of view quiet well to understand her.
