How Jerry's Sister Changed My Life

Little brothers were engineered to annoy their sibling; luckily for me my little brother kept that to a minimum. For me my little brother was my best friend. Jerry was always athletic; any sport he played, did he excelled in. His intelligence was enlightening. My favorite characteristics however, was his heart; his heart was full of love. Jerry always saw the beauty in people, and nature. Sadly, he never saw the beauty in himself. Jerrys teenage years were not easy.

Which is why I choose to write this paper about Jerry. My hope for Jerry is that someday he sees himself the way I have always seen him: Handsome, Loving, and Extraordinary.

Everything I hope for jerry-¬¬--from the good and the bad---I hope he will see them
