　　All students have to face their own problems when they are growing up．You may not think that having a good family is a problem．But for me, it was．

　　I had to face the problem of being the youngest of the Smith girls．

　　We live in a small town in Pennsylvania, US．There are three of us girls in the Smith family, each two years apart：Amanda, Theresa and me, the youngest．We all have blond hair and blue eyes．

　　People would say things to me, like “Oh, the three of you, you’re such nice girls．Your sisters are so pretty and so thin!You’re really nothing like them．” That made me sad．

　　At school, all of my teachers had taught my sisters．On the first day of school, they would always say, “Oh, the youngest of the three!I hope you’re just like your sisters．They’re such wonderful students．”

　　People always compared(比較)me to my sisters．So I couldn’t help comparing myself to them, too．Theresa was smarter, Amanda was prettier．

　　But last year, Amanda went to college, and Theresa went to high school．Now I’m by myself at junior high．Everyone knows me, because I'm the drum major and the newspaper’s editor．

　　Now I don’t feel like a Smith girl any more － I feel like myself．

　　I’m proud of doing all of the same great things that my sisters did．But the best thing I did was to learn to stop comparing myself to them．
