I’m glad that you tough on the younger sibs about going to college. And yes, it was definitely good that your sister was there for you to see Fatou. I know girls that had babies right out of high school and now here they are, 6 or 7 years later with a kid, and they have never even moved out of their parents house.

Simply outstanding! And ditto the comments by c2a, you are an excellent big sister! We so need more siblings like you, being actively INVOLVLED in the lives of the younger folks in the fam. Far too often the negative is more aptly to be encouraged. It was actually a blessing that your sister was with you when you ran into your friend and trust, God works in ways that some folk discount but I believe he put your sis with you for just that purpose. Keep grinding! O

You are a good big sis! I wanted to be a big sister for just these reasons. I’m the youngest, but I love to hear sisterly stories.

I hope your brother chooses the school you suggest. And I hope your sister follows through. A bachelor’s isn’t a winning lottery ticket, but it does get your foot in the door in a way that a HS diploma just can’t. On a financial tip, though - check out Moneymonk’s post today. It’s right up your sister’s alley.

The w/e of my sister’s HS graduation my brother and I sat with my little sister who just went off to college on Sunday and started talking what next: What internships is she going to have, what will she do when she graduates. I know she thought we were crazy but I want her to take advantage of all the experience good and bad that my older borther and I have. Your sis is lucky to have you as a role model so keep pushing.
