Growing up as the oldest was challenging‚ making it more difficult was the fact that you’re the only girl with 4 brothers. Setting an example is without a doubt one of the most unmanageable‚ yet accomplishable tasks‚ especially at the age of 8. Having to grow up with a single parent was the most probable reason as to why I had to be such a responsible sibling/daughter.
