A lesson from my sister

My elder sister was different. She was socially awkward. She could not look at people in the eye. She would mumble (嘟哝) to herself and repeat the words she had just said. The child psychologist had termed it as “Asperger Syndrome”.

She, however, was academically capable. Therefore, we attended the same primary school. Despite this, I never, ever admitted in public that she was my sister. There was one incident, however, that changed how I viewed my sister. It was the incident that changed me.

Being in primary six, about to graduate, the school had made it a must for everyone to perform. Due to my sister’s inability to work together with others, she had to do it individually.

“I’ll sing,” my sister told my parents confidently. Hearing that, I was completely shocked. How could my sister, who was socially awkward, sing in front of the school? I knew so well that if this happened, she would surely embarrass me.

Silently I prayed I would not have to watch my sister disgrace herself. It is fine. No one knows she is your sister. I remember telling myself these exact lines as I sat in the hall, waiting for the performances to start.

The lights dimmed and the curtains parted to reveal the only solo—my sister. It took about a whole minute for her to speak out her name and class and by that time, whispers were heard in the audience. “Why is she taking so long?” People around me asked. I sat nervously in my seat, wishing I were somewhere else.

Paragraph 1:

Finally my sister started to sing. I was prepared for the worst. She opened her mouth, and I was shocked—she sang effortlessly and melodiously. Her voice rang naturally through the hall, beautiful in its power. I listened ever so carefully to the lyrics that she had composed all by herself and wondered—how did I not know that my sister could sing like an angel?

Paragraph 2:

Guilt (内疚) and shame filled my heart as I listened to my sister’s wonderful singing. I realized that I had been so wrong. She was socially awkward yet so gifted. How could I have doubted my sister’s abilities? She taught me a lesson that I should not judge a person from just one perspective. Although she knew that I was embarrassed by her and was unwilling to attend her concert, she had never taken it to heart. It was then that I was determined to love her unconditionally and tell everybody that she was my sister.
