Responsibility

I was at Cedar Point with my family. I was 13. I have five sisters and I am the second oldest. So, my mom tells me to take my 3 younger sisters and watch them. I did not think I was ready for this kind of responsibility. I decided to do it and watched my three younger sisters. I could not go on some rides, because I had to stay behind the watch my sister who was not old enough to go on the ride. Half way through the day, my mom gives me my baby sister to look over. So, now I had 4 sisters to look after while my older sister is hanging out with her friends. So the rest of the day, I could not go on any rides because I had to stay with my baby sister. It was my responsibility as the older sister and I would not let my mom and dad down.

One Bit of Advice

One bit of advice I would give to the freshman for the OGT is do not be stressed. It would be easy and once it is done, they would feel good about it. I would tell them that when I took it, I was very nervous. But when the OGT started, I was not so nervous anymore. All they would need to do is study and do not stress it.

Desperate Measures

One time, my cousins, sisters, and I were playing in the basement of my home. We were rough housing and my sister accidentally pushed my cousin against the wall. On the wall was a big mirror. When my cousin got pushed into it, the mirror broke. All of froze in shock. We ran upstairs, into the living room to try and think of a plan to fix the mirror that was hanging on wall broken. We though of gluing it back together, hiding the pieces, covering the mirror with something, or just blame it on Lucy, who happened to be the youngest. In the end, I could not keep it to myself, so I ran up to my parents room and told them what happened. They were not mad at us at all. They were going to take down the mirror and throw it away anyways. So, none do us got in trouble. This taught me a valuable lesson. Never rough house if there is a mirror in the room.
