At a student presentation hosted by the Rockville Centre Union Free School District, Kylie Corbin described how her older sisters have influenced her learning, social skills and emotional coping.

Corbin said her sisters taught her tasks such as writing her name and playing sports and that their examples helped her prepare for school. “My name is Kylie Corbin, and I'm sure I've shown you why having my older sisters makes me the luckiest sister in the world,” she told the audience.

She connected personal experience to research claims, saying studies from child-development sources suggest interactions with older siblings can promote language and cognitive development. Corbin also described emotional challenges when siblings leave for college and said her family stays connected through planned visits and shared activities.

Corbin included both positive effects — role modeling, practical help with homework and college guidance — and ordinary sibling conflicts such as arguing over showers or perfume. Her remarks were anecdotal and framed as personal experience supported by general references to research; she did not cite specific studies by title or author during the presentation.

Corbin’s remarks were delivered as a personal reflection rather than as a policy proposal or program request.
