Twin Sister Shannon

Mr. Mendo H. English
I’d like to begin by saying that it’s a lot harder to write about yourself than you think. Last night when I typed this, it took me longer than it probably should have. But that might just be me. Anyways, I’ll start out with when I was born. My twin sister Shannon and I were born at the Atlantic City Medical Center on Thursday, January 28th, 1999. Shannon and I are fraternal twins, and most people that we meet never believe us when we tell them we’re twins. She has curly hair and blue eyes, and looks nothing like me. We are exactly thirty eight minutes apart. We literally do and share everything together, which can be kind of annoying sometimes, but I don’t really mind. I also have 3 other sisters. The oldest, Katie is 19, going on 20 on September 27th. She is going into her second year at college. She transferred from Liberty University to Stockton College this year. My second oldest sister, Emily is 18. She just went into her first year of college at Christopher Newport University in Virginia. The youngest of my family is Julia, who is 10 and will be turning 11 soon; which is crazy because it seems like just yesterday she was a baby. Then there are my parents, Marilyn and Phil, who I love very much and are always there for me. We’ve all been living in Swainton since 1999. After Shannon and I were born, we lived in Sea Aisle for 6 months while our house was being built. My sisters and I have gone to Middle Township our whole lives. I think the best part about our school is that there are so many different activities and clubs to do. I also like that we have a dress code rather than a uniform because that gives everyone a chance to express themselves. The worst part is
