The Importance Of Matching Shoes

Improved Essays
My sister and I are 1 year and 2 months apart growing up we were always treated like twins we would always have birthday parties together, we would be dressed alike maybe different colors but the same outfit we always had matching shoes. When we were younger we really did not mind it because the color of our outfits was different, but with that even on Christmas and birthdays we would get the same gifts just different colors we were always very close because my mother chose to treat us like twins and we loved it then. As we got older we hated to dress alike we would still get matching shoes but never matching cloths and now she hates it when people think we are twins. Even now that we look nothing alike in my opinion I still joke with her and …show more content…

My sister and I are only a year and 2 months apart, we have always been close we have always done everything together. I remember my mom would always dressed us alike as kids always have the same hair styles, other people would always assume we were twins. In School, we would be together high school we were always hanging out together mostly because we had the same friends, we would tell each other everything I knew everything about her and she knew everything about me at least I thought I knew everything about her. Growing up she had always wanted to be a lawyer that was her goal in life to go to law school and one day out of nowhere she came home and told us that she had talked to a recruiter and was going in the following week to fill out the paper work, we were all so shocked not once had she ever mentioned that she wanted to be in the military it was always about wanting to be a lawyer. That was when our lives changed. This brought up so many emotions when I found out she was leaving for 13 weeks to boot camp because we were going to go to college together and now I had to do everything on my own. I had to start being

    Ever since I was born, my brother, Jason, has always pushed me to be better than him. In some ways, Jason treated me like I was a boy. I hung out with his friends, played sports with him, and after a while I started acting like him. Now, we are only different because socially he struggles with having friends, but being social is more natural for me. Although my parents would deny it, they raised two identical people.…

    Autism Rollercoaster Kelsey, my sister, was born April 1st, 2014. That day was one of the best days of my life because! At the time, I didn’t know that I was going to have more sisters; now I have two sisters (other than Kelsey) Ryan and Nora. Once Kelsey was born, my mom knew that I would be a great big sister (based on the way I treated Kelsey in the hospital). I never knew my life would have changed.…

    When observing the McCandless’s authoritarian family dynamic, I found that I was able to make a lot of comparisons with Chris’s relationship with his parents and the relationship I have with my own. For instance, my parents have extremely high expectations of me especially when it comes to academics. Bringing home excellent grades was a strict order that I was expected to follow. My parents also expect me to excel in extracurricular activities. I remember one time entering a karate tournament and ended up not placing in any category.…

    A lot of people think just because you’re an identical twin, that you must be the same in every aspect of your life as the other person. In my case, and in others, being an identical twin doesn’t prove that we are the same in all areas of life. I have an identical twin sister, named Emily. Emily is pessimistic, high maintenance and very well organized. I, on the other hand, am more optimistic, open-minded and easygoing.…

    It was the end of another long school day when I first heard those words. My kindergartener self and my then first grade sister were squabbling in the backseat of our grandmother’s car about something so insignificant that I can’t even recall what it was.

That’s the only sister you have.” These words were often repeated, also by our mother, although in a more exasperated manner when our voices were raised in a fight, and holds true today.…

    When I was young, my sister and I never got along well. Neither of us were afraid to voice our thoughts, but we had opposite personalities, so that was an enormous complication. She would constantly whine whenever I practice the violin or piano that I was too loud and it was drowning out the music she was listening to. In return, I would always retort that her music was too loud and distracting. Well, I never actually called it “her music”: I referred to it as “garbage”.…
