My brother and I have a really good relationship. When people ask me why I think that it is, I tell them because we aren’t super close in age. My brother is six years older than me, so from the day that I was born, he has always assumed the role of being the big brother. Fortunately for me, he has always been a really good big brother, and I just feel so lucky to have someone in my life who has treated me so well. Regardless of what’s going on in my life, I always know that I can turn to my brother (even when it’s something that I can’t talk to my parents about).

Anyways, even though I’m just getting started in college, my brother has already graduated from college and has a great job down in Houston. He works a ton, but he’s really happy with the path his career is getting started on. Luckily, he was able to free up some time from work, so I went down to Houston and visited him for a couple of days. He seemed really happy with his life and job, and as always, he really spoiled me while we I was down in Houston with him.
