Sample Answer:

• Till the age of eight, I was the only child of my parents and enjoyed everyone’s attention and love. But, my life changed suddenly when my sister was born and from the nucleus of the whole family, initially, I felt that I was thrown to the periphery. 
• As I was the sole child in the family for quite some time, I was pampered quite a lot, especially by my grandparents. This attention gradually made me a selfish brat, as I heard my mother say later. I used to throw tantrums and was very mischievous. However, I sometimes felt very lonely when I saw most of my friends playing with their siblings. So, I guess my parents took this step for my positive growth and support. 
• Initially, when I lost my fandom, I felt very jealous of my sister. Although my grandparents used to indulge me more as I was the firstborn, it seemed that my parents had lost interest in me. So, one day, I decided to leave home and informed this decision to everyone. In the beginning, they were shocked, but then my mother helped me understand that no matter what happened, I was always important to them. She also gave me the responsibility of protecting my little sister, which I continue to do till now. Gradually, I fell in love with the chubby baby that she was and after that, it became difficult to separate us.
• The birth of my baby sister, Mishka, was the first important turning point in my life as it changed to an accountable person from a crybaby. After my mother, she was the one who taught me how to love. Growing up, I began to trust her more than myself and we became confidantes of each other. Whenever we have a disagreement, she is the one who initiates the talk as she knows I need her and she cannot spend a day without talking to me. Now, when we discuss the time when she was born and my behavior, we have a good laugh.
