Special qualities I like about my sister

My sister has alot of special qualities but I will say just a few.

• She is Result Oriented : when I mean result oriented I mean she is a goal getter. When she fixes her mind to get a particular thing like project, or some other thing to be done, she follows through till the end. I think I have this quality too. She always produce results and complains less.

• A great administrator : my dear sister is a great administrator. She makes sure things are done right when they are meant to be done. She is so good with administration that her husband handed her the job of managing his business. She leaves no details out.

• A giver : my sister can give you just anything to see you happy. I so much love this quality because I am a partaker of her giving. She might be on a shoe, and when you just complement her shoe, she can pull it off and give you since you like it. She is exceptional in giving.

Special qualities I like about my brother Isaac

• He is an interesting teacher: I remember Isaac was my first home lesson teacher I had while growing up. He thought me how to understand clock and how to tell the time. He makes learning very interesting. He also thought me how to spell.

• Fun to be with : Isaac is a very funny and lively person. Although he is not a loud person. Been around him is fun. He always creates environment to make people laugh or happy. How I love to spend time with him. When on a phone call with him, he makes me laugh so hard as if he is right there with me.

• Always sees opportunity when others don't : I know how may times he has shared with me amazing ideas he has. When there is a problem, he doesn't see the problem, he finds a way to see an opportunity out either to make wealth or to grow. This man marvels me most times and this quality makes me like him alot.

Mr Gideon (younger brother)

Gideon is the last born of the house, he is my younger brother. He lives in Delta state. He is single and not married.

Gideon is a medical scientist by profession. Even though he said he wants to go into business, anyways we are waiting.

Qualities I like about my brother Gideon

• He is vast : been vast with informations about happening and trending stuff is one quality I like about my brother. Anytime I want to know what's happening in the country either in politics, football or other things, I call him for update. He gives me news free of charge.

• Fashion sense : he has a good fashion sense and that is another reason why I like him. He can't be caught unfresh. He always says you don't need to have all the money before you look good I think that's true.

My parents

Amazing husband and wife. My parents are so amazing that I have not seen their type before. They have been married for over 40years yet I have not seen them fighting. They are so inlove even at old age.

My parents right now are living in Kaduna state. My Dad is an electrical contractor while my mum is into business. They both love to teach no wonder they are both Sunday school teachers in church. I think we the children took their teaching skills from them.

---

Special qualities I like about my parents

• My Dad is a goal getter : he is focused until he gets what he wants done.

• My Mum has great ability to save : my mum can save for the world. She is not extravagant so she saves so much. I really need to learn this from her. I like this quality so much.

• My mum is so much fun : I love spending time with my mum because she is fun. She knows how to gist and tell stories of past events. I have missed her gist so much. Most times when talking to her on phone the calls are unending because she has so much to say to me.

• My Dad is a great giver : oh how I love my Dad for this. He does not withhold anything. He just wants to share every he has with people. When ever we travel to my home town for Christmas, you need to see the way he shares the food stuff he came back with to other relatives. My Dad is exceptional in giving.

Have you ever been helped by a family member? Tell us your story

Yes I have been helped by several of my family members. Am going to share my story now.

Years back while in the university, I needed some money to pay my fees. At that time Dad could not come up with my fees.

Exams was close by, and the rules of the school says No school fees, no exam I didn't know what to do. Naturally, I don't like to border people with my issues, if God can't solve it then I won't tell you about it. I think it was my Dad that told me brother(eldest brother),

Then I was Schooling in the same city where my brother resides. I had given up that I won't write the exams, on the day my exam started I was in my hostel, I didn't go to school.

My brother called me that morning, he asked me to meet him in front of a bank. I wondered why? My course exam was starting in the afternoon. I just wore my clothes without even having my bath. I walked down to the bank, my brother came there, used his atm card, withdrew some money and handed it over to me as my school fees. I was amazed! I thanked him and ran to school that instance to pay my fees. That was how I was able to write my exams in the afternoon. My brother helped me out.

Who in the family is the funniest?

Well I have some funny members of my family but the one that is the funniest is Engr.Isaac.

Even though he is married with kids, he has a childlike heart. Very funny man and he is my favorite. We are so close that sometimes people think we are twin.

He makes everyone laugh with his jokes and comments. He acts drama alot for us in the house. Last year when we all traveled for Christmas, he made my stay sweet with his funny nature.

Conclusion

I would like to say family is great. Family gives you a sense of belonging, gives protection too. If you have a family where you come from, protect it, don't let anyone destroy the bond. Make peace with that sibling of yours. You should not be angry with family member for a long time. My family is my everything!

Thank you for reading.
