As the eldest child, I’m always the one being asked to do things around the house. I’m the one who prepares and cooks breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I also handle the household chores when there are no classes, or when I have free time. Though I’m just their eldest daughter but sometimes it feels like I’m also the mother because I often take on the responsibilities that a mother would usually do.
It’s exhausting but understandable at the same time because, after all, I am their daughter. When it comes to academics, the pressure is immense because I’m always on the honor roll, and their expectations of me are high. It's tiring, especially when I have to balance both academics and family responsibilities.
There’s nothing I can do because that’s just how life is. I just keep going, fighting, and acting strong. Sometimes, you have to pretend to be strong and independent, not just for others but for your own future as well.
