Compassion

A couple weeks ago in English, we were assigned to write down one area of our lives we could be more compassionate.

Here is what I wrote:

I can be more compassionate when it comes to my sister.  Being that we are siblings, we do have the constant sibling bicker within our conversations.  However, I am aware that I do get on my sister's case about things I probably do not need to.  I know that she is a kid so she is going to do kid things.  I have to be more patient with her.  Sometimes I know to be more compassionate, I just have to step back and give her some room.  Since we have both gotten older, we have been able to communicate easier.  But because of this too, we argue more.  I know we'll eventually grow out of it but for the time being, I need to be nurturing and supportive in any way I can.  I have to remember what it was like to be her age (not too long ago) and try and relate.  Although we do have our differences, we have our moments and those are really special.
