The Future


     Recently, in English class, we have been talking a lot about marriage.  It really gets me to think about my future and what's in store for me.  There are tons of questions that I ask myself.  "When will I get married?" "Will I ever get married?" "Will I find the right guy?" All of these questions are a little bit scary.  The future is really scary because it's a surprise.  Your future is unpredictable.  What I love about having little sisters, though, is that they aren't scared... yet.  They are so positive about life.  

     My little sister, Brigitte, is the most positive. Her outlook on life is that there are good things happening now, and there will be good things happening in the future.  She told me once that her life is 99.9% good and 0.1% bad.  She then went on to say how she just gets through the bad and goes back to the good.  Her words are so wise even though she's only nine years old.  I always ask Brigitte if she's scared for her future.  Every single time I ask her, she responds, "Nope.  It's gonna be good."  
     My other little sister, Natalie, isn't worried for the future either.  She always tells us that the future is every second ahead of us, so if you just take it a second at a time, you'll be fine.  Natalie, as you can probably tell from that last comment, is a smart aleck.  She also believes that life is such a party, and she will be able to conquer anything bad that happens.  
     My brother is starting to become more scared of the future.  He's going to junior high in the coming school year, and he is scared of how the classes will be and what high school will be like. He's scared that he won't do as well.  Nick is such a proud guy, so he usually doesn't show his more sensitive side.  I love when he shows that he's afraid too.  It makes me feel like I'm not the only one who is scared of what's to come.  I like knowing what's going to happen.  The future is scary to me, and I like knowing it's scary to others. 
     My older sister, Katie, is  not scared for the future either.  She is always in a good mood, and she knows that whatever is in store for her is going to be good.  Katie is amazing.  She's always helping me fix my problems and conquer my fears. Next year, she'll be going to college.  She won't be there to help me.  I'll be the oldest one in the house, and I'll have to be the strong one for my little siblings.  I know that I won't be as strong because I have so many fears.  Katie has fears, but she doesn't show them as much as I do.   That's what I love about her.  
     To me, the future is scary.  To the majority of my family, it's not.  My siblings' views on life help me to get rid of some of that fear.  They comfort me.  I love my siblings so much.  They help me to get through everything.  If you are scared of something, check out what it's called using this website
