Responsibilities by victor salgado

Most of the time i spent when i was little and still do actually was spent in taking care of my two little brothers. As the eldest in the family i felt like i never had any time to play or actually be a kid. When i was six my brother Carlos was born and he turned out to be a handful. I had to teach him manners and show him right from wrong since my parents were both very busy. Then as if i didn’t have enough on my hands my mom had another kid, my brother Juan, and i was just days from turning twelve. A tragedy happened two days before my birthday my uncle Albert died and at the age of twenty-five. After a great loss in our family my job was even harder because i had to support my mom and my dad was rarely home because of work so i was in charge for a while. It’s not as fun as i wanted it to be. There were a lot more responsibilities and a lot on my shoulders. Getting no help what so ever from my brother Carlos i had to help out my dad and mom in taking care of my family at a very young age. Now I’m fourteen though soon to be fifteen come this October i thought that i had finally been done with all that stuff. Figures who would have thought my mom would get pregnant again. So since my brother still doesn’t want to help i guess ill have to start again from the beginning with my new born baby sister. I thank my parents for being strick with me and giving me all those responsibilities because if they hadn’t i wouldn't have learned how to be responsible, how to be good with problems, and how to be responsible for my actions. We may have had a rough time but things are looking up now.
