My favorite thing about being a twin is always knowing that I have my sister at my side. I always have someone to talk to and someone to listen to. I also have a built-in best friend and she helps me get through the tough and stressful times in my life. I know that she will always forgive me and help me out in school. My least favorite thing about being a twin is sharing clothes. Now, this sounds silly, but it can become really annoying sharing things with someone else. Another downfall is sharing my birthday. I’ve never liked sharing our birthday because we can never agree on what we want to do. I am older. Now I like to brag and say I am older, but I am really only six minutes older than Maya. I like to think I am more mature than Maya. We do have other friends, but since we are always together and we are related, we’re just super close. I also really enjoy having all my classes with Maya. On the first day of high school, we really weren’t nervous at all since we had each other. That is definitely a great benefit. It is also nice having the same classes because we get to help each other with homework, studying for quizzes, exams, and finals together. We help each other in class as well as after school. We didn’t request to have all our classes together, just a few classes that we thought would be the most difficult so that we could help each other. The most different thing about us is our appearance. I have tan skin, brown hair, and brown eyes while Maya has the complete opposite look: light skin, blue eyes, and blond hair. Maya and I mostly fight about who is right or wrong in different scenarios. We occasionally get really mad at each other, but for the most part, we just get into silly arguments. Maya and I have a lot of common interests. We love playing volleyball, spending time with family, and going to Disneyland. Both Maya and I plan to go to the same college. We share some similarities with our personalities are such cause we are both kinds helpful trustworthy and funny. I do think though that Maya is way funnier than I am. However, I am louder, more outgoing, more helpful, and less lazy. We are always competing on who plays volleyball better, who has better grades, who scored higher on a test, or who is smarter. I believe I am smarter in certain things; I’m smarter in math and science, but I think Maya is smarter in English. I think I am more athletic. Also, I enjoy fitness more than Maya. We both enjoyed running, but I am faster at short distance running and Maya is better at long-distance running.
