They say being the eldest sister can be a bit tough, especially if you’ve got a lot of responsibilities to take care of. But if you would ask me, being a big sister has taught me the best things in life! From babysitting siblings to being in charge all the time, the “ate” experience actually molds you into a better person. So here are 6 reasons why being an ate is always the best!

You learned to be a leader at a young age 

Cause someone needs to decide where you’re gonna eat, right?

You get dibs on everything

Being the first born means no hand me downs! 

You have developed eagle-eye vision just to check if your little siblings are okay.

Cause you’ll get blamed if your sister falls of the swing! 

You get to teach your sibs a thing or two

Need a tutor? Ask ate!!!

You serve as their inspiration

Aside from your parents, your little brothers and sisters look up to you cause you are their role model. You were mom, when mom was away!

You know what’s best for your siblings

You may get a bit overprotective at times, but we all know you’re just doing it cause you love your siblings.
