Appeal to Emotion（情感）

My childhood left three months ago on a plane to Austria．

It was a     day when my baby cousins moved away．My cousins were a fundamental part of my life;       they were not with me，they were on my mind．They brought back the untroubled days of my childhood，    games，adventures and silliness，but they also helped    me from an at-times selfish teenager into a responsible adult．

My aunt and uncle moved here from Boston with their 1-year-old daughter Yasmeen．They lived in an apartment on the side of our house and I was   to have our family，especially a baby girl，so close to us．Yasmeen had close friendships with each of my sisters，but I knew the one that     between us was the strongest．As she began to walk on her own and talk in full sentences，I realized my great     upon her．I noticed that she’d    some of my unpleasant actions，  with her mother after I had done the same．Yasmeen made me realize what being a good    really was．

When Maya was born，Yasmeen had a hard time    ．She was jealous（妒忌）of the attention we all paid to her new younger sister，so I did my best to keep her company when she might have not been   ．Once Yasmeen overcame her jealousy，she was able to    Maya’s presence，like we all did．I tried to take advantage of our times together，doing my best to     my schedule for my two favorite people．

My       with Yasmeen and Maya has taught me the importance of influential people．I know that I have helped Yasmeen and Maya       ，but “the babies” have had an even greater influence on my own life．They have shown me how to be a parent，a sister，a child，and most importantly，a friend．Our has made me a better person—a more patient person，with the ability to     endless questions and spilled（洒）juice; an     person，able to have fun and be happy with others; a role model，   the babies ideas about right and wrong，and a compassionate person，able to forgive and love．
