One member of my family that I get on really well with is my older sister. Her name is Malika and she is 5 years old than me. We have every close relationship, not just as siblings but also as best friends. She is kind, supportive and very intelligent. What I really admire about her is that she always knows how to stay calm in a stressful situation and she often gives me great advice when I am facing problems. She is also very funny so we are always loving and very together. We do all of things together. For example, we often go for a walk in the evening, watch movies or just sit and talk for hours. Sometimes we cook meals together or help each other with school and work tasks. Because she is older, she is kind of like a mentor to me and I learn a lot from here. The reason we get on well is probably because we understand each other deeply. Even when I don’t say anything, she can guess what I am feeling. We trust each other completely and we rarely argue. I think the bond we share is really special and I feel very lucky to have her in my life.
