To my Opposite Sister

Though we're made with the same genes, we couldn't be more different

To my Opposite Sister
@celine_wright

I'm the youngest sister of two girls, just my sister and me. We're two years apart, but it seems as if we're two worlds apart. Early on, we both realized how different we were in almost every aspect of life. Before grade school, I was very girly, changed my outfit five times in a day and did my hair everyday while she was quite the tomboy, threw on whatever clothes were clean and brushed her hair and called it good. I was always a social butterfly, so I had friends from preschool call me and wanna talk to me all the time while my sister kinda kept more to herself, which is okay!

Primary school rolled around and I joined cheerleading for young kiddos while my sister wanted to ride four wheelers at home. I still cared about my physical appearance and my sister just really couldn't care less about hers. I loved school and learning and my sister went because she had to. Elementary school rolled around a few years later and I grew a little into my tomboy years when I wore basketball shorts and crocs. My sister still wore jeans and t-shirts. I got more into hanging out with friends, while my sister got more into drawing and artsy things. I still loved school and she still didn't care.

Then came middle school and high school. I gradually grew into the person I am today. I started wearing quality clothes and makeup, worked on my academics and did my best in everything I set my mind to in order to succeed. My sister, however, did bare minimum when it came to school; the only thing she had her mind on was to graduate and get out of that hell of a high school. Don't get me wrong, high school wasn't my favorite place to be, but I never resented it. I got along with everyone and built strong relationships between my friends and my teachers because that's what was important to me. My sister has always been and will always be an introvert, and that is still okay!

So, even though my sister and I are different in every piece of life, I don't think I could ever love a human as much as I love her. We would do anything for each other and I know that if I needed her right now, she would already be in her car on her way. She's my rock and I'm her safety blanket and I wouldn't want it any other way. We fought a lot when we were little because we were so different, but now we appreciate each other for their individuality and that is what makes our bond so beautiful and inseparable. They say opposites attract and I now know what that really means.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
