    My high school，like many others，was extremely competitive not only in sports but also in academic subjects．The pressure of trying to get excellent grades while joining in extra-curricular activities could be great．Sometimes it seemed like I lived at school! When I was home my time was spent doing homework．Some days I was so busy finishing a project that I could hardly see my families．

    I have a younger sister named Sally．She was nine years old．We used to see each other, but after I graduated from the primary school she attended．I saw her less and less．

    Then one day I came home to an empty house and I found a note from my mom saying my sister was at her friend’s and would be dropped off．

    At five o’clock I saw my sister walking towards the door with her friend and her friend’s father．I heard them talking．“Is anyone at home?”the father asked．

    “Just my mean elder sister, Sara，and she’s probably in her room as usual,’’ my sister replied．I couldn’t believe it．I opened the door thanked the father for bringing her home，then shut the door and started to cry．

    To make a long story short，a huge fight followed that ended with me driving my sister to her room．But I realized that what was worse than the fight was that I really hadn’t been a good elder sister．

    I had lost track of what was important．and what really mattered．I had been fallen into a whirlpool(漩涡)of pressure and competition，and it took my sister’s honest observation to show me that the grades I got didn’t matter to everyone--certainly not to her．All that matters to her is that I’m her elder sister, and that’s what matters to me, too．
