In addition, our abilities and interests are no way similar. My sister, Allison excels at running and I shine at dancing. She lives for running and I believe in her past life she was a cheetah. She looks like an animal running, you can tell the pain she is in on her face. I admire how the pain does not stop it keeps her moving. She gets a high off the feeling when she hears the gun goes off and when she crosses the finish line. Allison loves sports, she respects a good competition and the talent that athletes have. I am not particularly interested in sports like regular people, I just don’t find sports that entertaining. When I watch sports I do not understand the rules and terminology. I find dancing and art forms more amusing. I like how

Not only in hedgehogs, but in every aspect of life, there is something both beautiful and ugly to be found.…
