Seattle prep underclassmen look back on the memories they have had with their senior sibling and what the will miss most once they head their separate ways. For years, students and their siblings have gone to school together, so when the time comes for the seniors to begin a new chapter, the siblings may have a hard time adjusting to life without their help and support.

Many underclassmen siblings enjoy the “perks” of having a senior sibling. Sophomore Hana Nakata, sister of Jarrid Nakata, said “I’ll miss having someone to go get me pizza and get my stuff if I forget it.”

Freshman Fiona Killalea added “I will miss our frequent Safeway stops and listening to his playlists in the car” with brother Jack.

Lots of prep seniors and their siblings have gone to school together in the past, so many agreed that it will be strange not having them around next year. Grace Jordan, a sophomore sibling of Emily Jordan said “I think ill feel a mixture of emotions. Sad cause she’s gone and I wont be able to see her as much, but happy because she’s moving on in life.”

Cyrus Berger, a freshman and brother of Gabe Berger said “I’m going to miss having someone at home who’s been through everything I’m doing. It’s been nice having someone to talk to about the various experiences at Prep and to get advice from.”

Sophomore Bea Franklin also added “it will be weird to be driving to school by myself next year”, without brother Jesse.

Nakata also added “I don’t think it will be too different cause he’s still close to home, but I will miss getting to get breakfast with him on late starts.”

Siblings at prep also have shared countless funny, memorable or embarrassing moments while they have been at prep. Franklin said “I will miss not being able to give loving hugs to him [Jesse] in the hallway.”

Jordan added that she enjoyed “talking with her [Emily] and her senior friends cause they do a lot of venting in yearbook.”

Killalea also said her memorable moments with brother Jack are, “he pushes me up against lockers and I’ll always remember his outstanding speeches.”

While some students may be sad to see their siblings go, there is often new things to look forward to once they have moved on. Berger said “I’m looking forward to being able to branch out more and have more independence.”

Sibling rivalry is also something that can happen in every family. When asked about it in her family, Franklin says “I think so but Jesse probably doesn’t think so.”

Berger added that with he and his brother Gabe, “there’s not too much of a rivalry. I try to emulate him, but he sets a high standard.”
