I am the middle child in a family of three. My 
older sister, Emily, is eighteen and a junior at 
Brown University. My younger brother, Ethan, 
is fourteen and a freshman at Southside.  My 
family has always been very close. We've 
always taken trips together and talked together
and joked with each other. I take special pride
in my brother and sister; I think they are the 
greatest people in the world. My sister helps 
me with problems and talks to me. She is an 
athlete and is on the women's crew at Brown. 
My brother is big and strong and he plays 
every sport imaginable. When I came back 
from my trip this summer, he had grown to 
be five inches taller than me and his voice 
had dropped three octaves. I almost 
didn't know who he was.
