Family Differences

A lot of students go to my school. It is almost impossible to get to class on time sometimes, yet I seem to make it every time. My friends ask me how I do it, but I tell them it's really not hat hard. You just have to pretend it's a video game and you're trying to get to the next level. All of the people in the hallway are obstacles. I play video games often, but not too much like some people I know. My older siblings are twins, but you'd never be able to tell. Ray is tall with blonde hair and has teeth like the people in the Colgate commercials. He has his own car that he is always showing off. He plans to become an actor someday. Holly, on the other hand, is the exact opposite. She's more like me. She has brown hair, braces, and she is way more modest. That's what I like about Holly. Both of my siblings are smart, but Holly will help me with my homework, even if I don't ask. Ray, on the other hand, is always concerned with himself.

"What's in it for me?" he asks all the time. 

Usually when this happens, Holly appears from wherever she is and comes to talk to me.

"I'll help you, Mira. You don't have to give me anything," Holly says.

Did I mention that she tutors people every day after school? My older sister is awesome, and I'll be disappointed when she leaves for college. She is a junior right now, but the school year goes by fast. I try to do different things during the school year to occupy my time. Ray occupied his time by playing video games with his friends as often as he can. Even though my family has our differences, one thing is for certain; we all love having fun.
