I was compared a lot with my sister in the past. She was the perfect child- getting high grades in every subject and her record is filled with extra curricular activities. People often said that I should be more like my sister. Specially, in my own family, my parents often praised my sister as the role model that I should follow. I didn’t have any special achievements nor was I a friendly child towards others. I was stressed for a long time and often locked myself in my own room and cried alone. I used to believed that I was an useless child. Luckily, I got accepted into my dream high school and found a new hobby- which is learning a new language, so I got rid of the feeling of being useless. However, the memory of being compared to my sister still affected me until today. I cared too much about what others think of me, I feel paranoid when standing in the middle of the crowd and I never share any details of my personal life to my parents. All I want to show them is my academic achievement.
