Blog10 CAT PRACTICE3

                In this passage “How Your Birth Order Influences Your Life Adjustment,” by Lucille Forer there are several reason why a child feels a certain way being in his or her family. The child would know his or position in the family for example being, only child, oldest, middle, or the youngest in his family. The oldest child would feel that he or she have more responsibilities than the younger siblings. The middle child may assumed of being better than other people because the middle child is older than the younger and has its older sibling and parents for help. The youngest child would have a lower self-esteem because he or she feels that they can’t accomplish than his siblings. Finally the only child would assume of being independent for himself.   

                Being the oldest in my family I agreed with this idea. As being the oldest I feel that I have a lot of responsibility of being the role model for my younger brothers. In my experience I have to face my parents as being the leader of my brothers. My parents expect me to do the right thing so my brothers would look up to me. I also need to take care of my brother’s problem and set a good example of being the oldest.  

                I have two younger brothers named Jose and Albert. Jose is 18 teen years old and he is the middle. I do feel that he thinks he is the best because he always mocks Albert. Jose likes to argue a lot of being the best and most of the time fights with Albert. He usually ask me for help and if I can’t help him he would ask my parents.

                My youngest brother Albert is 16 teen he most of the time wines a lot of not doing his homework right. I do feel that he needs a lot of attention because he feels very self-esteem moist of the time. My parents tend to spoiled him and order me to help him for his problems. I feel Albert is lucky to be the youngest because he has a lot of people to watch out for him. Sometime when I have a lot of problems or being stress out I sometimes wish of being the youngest.

                I do appreciate of having brothers I feel bad for an only child because when their parents are gone they are by themselves in this world.
