Talk about something your family member has done that made you proud. You should say

– who it was

– what he/she did

– when it happened

– and explain why it made you proud

I admire all the members of my family for their immense talents – each one is exceptional at something – but most recently I became very proud of my little sister.

My sister is 11 years old, and she has been practising tae kwon do since she was four. She is an excellent athlete and despite her age is extremely focused and disciplined.

Last month, she was selected to take part in the national tae kwon do tournament, which in and of itself is a very prestigious distinction. She practised every day in preparation for the tournament and made great sacrifices for it. She was even supposed to go to Eurodisney the weekend of the tournament but chose to compete over going on the trip.

In the end, she competed and won the gold medal, beating several other girls who were both older and more experienced than her. Her hard work and determination paid off and now she is a nationally ranked tae kwon do athlete.

The reason this made me proud was because I think it is truly rare to see a child with so much self-discipline. She has maturity far beyond her years and I am proud because I foresee amazing things for her future.
