            It all started on April 13, 1999. I wanted to go with my mom and dad to wherever they were off to, but they wouldn’t let me come. For some reason I had to go to my grandma’s house. Finally, after a whole day of waiting, my grandma took me to the hospital. When I got there, I got very worried. I thought that something had happened, but when I walked through the door, I was surprised to see someone else with my mom and dad. I had a sister! Her name is Sage Kalil, and now she is eleven and in sixth grade. Ever since that day, my life has changed. I am no longer the center of attention. I had to learn to share and entertain my self. At the time, I hated it. I loved being in the spotlight and having my parents focus only on me, but that changed when Sage came. Looking back now, I am thankful for all that she gave me; patience, caring, responsibility, and understanding.

            Sage and I don’t always get along, but we like a lot of the same things, so we are together a lot. Sage and I both play soccer on competitive premiere soccer teams. I remember when we used to go in the back yard and pass the ball back and forth, but eventually, it would just turn into us battling each other for the ball, and playing keep away. We like playing to goal better than just passing back and forth.

            Me and my sister have always had a pretty tight bond. My parents got a divorce when I was about five or six and sage was only two. She doesn’t remember much, but when my parents were apart, Sage and I were always together. I think that the fact that we see each other more than our parents makes our bond stronger, and I believe that we will always appreciate each other, even into our old age.
