Big brother


If you ask a room full of people who or what inspires them, everyone has a different and unique inspiration in their life. I feel that a little bit of inspiration in an individual's life will go a long way and help them overcome their daily problems. My older brother, by far, is the person that most inspires me. Even though brothers sometimes fight, they will always have that special bond that nobody can break. A bigger brother shows you what to do and what not to do when you get older.  There is also 

a competitive rivalry to see who can be more successful and get better grades in school.

All my life I looked to my older brother for help if I needed anything. If I needed help in school he was for sure the best option for me. That is because he has taken all the classes before and he was just really smart. Although I still wanted to get better grades than him so I had to learn more by myself and in the class to do so. Seeing my brother in college and not being in debt because of the scholarships he got really pushed me to acsell in the academic scholars.

My older brother didn’t only inspire me in the academic part of life but in the sports part as well. When it came to a sport we had to compete against each other and see who was better. Even though I always argued that I was better there would most likely be a loss shortly to follow. Learning to try to exceed in sports from my brother makes me want to be better than people on my sports team and try to compete for a position that I surely want. Having a sibling lets you both train and practice with each other and always try to “one up” each other makes them better than ever.

When it comes to the community we work together as a team to make our town better. With a twist of competitiveness in community service we would try to make the costumer like one of us better than the other. We worked at a food bank to give people the goods they needed. With this we would see who could help more people in one day than the other. In addition to raise the most goods for the service. 

Inspiration can be tough to find at times. Everyone has different things that inspire them. My inspiration is my older brother. Older brothers can be mean at times but nobody can have a closer bond than them. When you need help with something there surely will be there to help you through the process because he might have just went through the same thing. I believe that having a competitive edge with your brother will push you to be greater and better than ever.
