Birth Order and Its Effect on Life Adjusment - Writing Essay 1

I had read one essay written by Lucille K. Forer about birth order and its effect on life adjustment in which she stated that the first child is likely to be very close to their parents than the later child; however, my family was the opposite example for Forer's statement. As the first child, I tend to be very protective over my siblings; however, i am the type who like to be alone and accomplish everything by myself. I rather finding my solution alone than asking my parents for help; thus, it makes me distant from my parents.

My youngest sister were very different from me. She was very bossy and often order me or my parents to do something for her. She was the type who like to order anyone even though she could accomplish the job herself. She was very close to my parents and did not like to be left alone; therefor, she is very different from me, especially on our closeness to our parents .

Forer's statement was not accurate because she saw the problem only from birth order point of view. There are many factors that effect life adjustment of each person one of which is from educational point of view. My sisters and I has huge age different; thus, our grade level were also different. My younger sister likes to play a lot and also tends to ignore orders since she is a pre-schooler. My another sister, who had passed away, was an elementary students. She like to help my parents a lot and used to be a very nice and diligent girl. I, as a college student, started to think and do more like a college student. That is our differences; therefor, education is one factor that effect life adjustment of one person.
