Dear Enchong,

                I wanted to apologize for what I have done to you when we were still little. I spoke a lot of words without thinking and didn’t take your feelings into consideration. I also did a lot of things that a sister shouldn’t do to her younger brother. There’s no arguing that the things I did was awful, and I want to make sure you know that I recognize that and feel horrible about it.

When I was 7 years old, I always felt lonely because I was the only child in our family but when our parents told me that I will have a younger brother, I was filled with joy. I was so excited to meet you and I even prepared a list of cute names for you. Time passed by and you were born. It was very fun at first but then it started to feel like everybody doesn’t care about me anymore. They would only talk about you and it was like I was completely invisible. I felt very jealous at that time and because of that, I started to tease you about everything you did and I would always contradict the compliments they give you. When you were starting school, I started to make you do my chores and I would always take everybody’s attention away from you. I thought what I was doing was right but then I started to understand that the things I did to you were actually wrong. I acted like a child and instead of being the role model you wanted me to be, I became the villain of your life. I felt very bad about the things I did. I know I can’t change the past but I will definitely make sure that I will make up to everything that I did to you in the present time.

There are plenty of other good things I should have done, but didn't.  I spoke to you about it but you said that it wasn't a big deal but I understand just how strongly my words and actions affected you.  I can promise you with all my heart that I will never do any of these things to you again and I hope that I can build up your trust in me again. I want you to feel confident that I will be a good sister to you. I won’t say a word in the future without really thinking it over first and keeping your best interests and feelings in mind. I will never take out my anger on you and whenever we fight, I will always remember that we are siblings and as siblings, we should always be there for each other in good times and in bad.

We’ve been through a lot together, and I want to continue sharing my life and experiences with you. My actions were completely inappropriate—a huge lapse in judgment on my part—and for that I extend to you my sincerest of apologies. No matter what obstacles we face, I always want you to remember that I love you and I’ll try my best to be the best sister a sibling could ever have.

Your loving sister,

Bianca
