I walked into the home office to find my mom writing my little sister's essay FOR HER.
You have got to be kidding me.
She's in 8th grade, almost 14 years old.
I know my sister didn't ask my mom to write it for her,
even though she'll be pleased to know she doesn't have to do it now.

My mom is always doing things like that for my sister.
My mom's always like "oh she's too busy at gymnastics" or too tired or whatever.

I have ALWAYS done my own assignments and school work.
and I've never wished for my mom to do them for me.
yeah, I was in gymnastics when I was younger,
but I was never allowed to compete much or go further in it,
because my mom told me it's too time consuming..
that I wouldn't have enough time for school.

now she lets my sister practice 12+ hours a week,
and does her homework for her.
and talks NON-STOP about gymnastics.
I'm so sick of it. I have to leave the room when gym comes into conversation.
It wasn't my decision to quit gymnastics, despite anyone's knowledge of the situation.

Alright so maybe I am a better student because of it,
maybe I wouldn't have time or the intelligence for a university if I was still in gym,
but I'm afraid my sister isn't getting her best education because of it,
especially if she thinks my mom is going to complete school for her.

It's just ridiculous.
My sister is spoiled and everyone knows it,
but no one does a thing to stop it.
