One more cookie

“Mother, why does it need to be Hyoung Keun?” my youthful brother began complaining. “Why can I’ve one more cookie than him?” My mom’s reply would at all times be the identical “You realize Hyoung Keun is three years older than you. You possibly can have what Hyoung Keun has three years later.”
Because the eldest baby within the household, I’d have all of the privileges that my youthful brother doesn’t have. Even once I selected to check overseas within the U.

S., he readily advised my mother and father that he wished to check within the U.S. as nicely. I may really feel how a lot he envied me; in spite of everything, he wished to check within the U.S. more than I did. Nevertheless, my mother and father as soon as once more promised him that he may have his likelihood three years later.

My brother knew my mother and father have been mendacity. My household is just not rich sufficient to help each brothers to check within the U.S. My mother and father anticipate a lot from me and provides me the chance they can’t afford to my youthful brother. Nevertheless, my brother didn’t surrender. He tried his finest to realize what he desires. Studying from my errors, he finds one of the simplest ways to unravel issues, and stays up late to complete his homework and additional workloads to enhance. Whereas I used to be receiving cookies baked by my mother, my brother was baking his personal.
I used to be sorry that he needed to do more to realize lower than I’ve. I’d consider The Trinity by Uris wherein the primary character Connor Larkin was privileged over his youthful brother. Though Connor didn’t do what his father requested him to do and his youthful brother would at all times handle Connor’s duty alongside along with his personal, Connor had the privilege to inherit the farm as a result of he’s the eldest son. Then I’d ask myself. Why do some individuals have more than what I’ve? What makes me so totally different from different wealthy individuals who can afford to do something they need to have? Then I’d not have to fret about my brother dropping his privilege. I don’t have to fret about my brother affected by disparity between him and me. He would get what he works for.

Just lately, he acquired into one of many best boarding college in Korea and chosen as one in every of 23 college students to obtain full-scholarship. He’s now in a position to examine to go to universities within the U.S. I’m pleased with what he has achieved, however I nonetheless can’t carry away the truth that I used to be privileged over him. Each time I really feel weak and wanting to surrender on problem, I’d consider my brother who has nothing I’ve.

I like my brother. He is without doubt one of the few those who I can belief on this planet. I are not looking for him to really feel unhealthy about what he doesn’t have. Thus, I’m not giving up on something. I cannot let any complexity cease me however push ahead to realize essentially the most I can to offer him the possibility to really feel what I’ve felt as a privileged individual. I need to bake my very own cookies to offer the cookies my mother baked to my brother.
