Assignment 2

I have two younger brothers who are ten and eleven years younger than me, it’s hard to compare with them since they are still young. So I’m choosing my mother. For the most part we are exactly alike. We are the same height, weight, hair and eye color and often get mistaken for sisters. My mom had me when she was 16 at a very young age she was held back from doing a lot of things she wished to do. Back in the late 80’s society wasn’t very accepting of a 16-year-old mother, so she missed out on things in high school and never went on to college because she was busy raising a child. Although we are very similar in looks, hobbies and attitudes our personalities are completely different. I was very outgoing, spent every moment I could doing band, sports, and any organization I could get my hands on while in high school. I did these because that’s what I wanted and partly because my mother pushed me and supported everything I did because she didn’t want me to miss out on the things she did. I made friends easily and got along with everyone and she was happy and content being the quiet one. However she doesn’t enjoy politics, reading and school in general like I do. My father is a high school principal so I’ve always wanted to become a teacher also. I think she would be more active about these subjects if she would have been able to go to school too and not worry about a family. I seem to have more patience and understanding. We are so similar but different in so many ways. That’s really scary to think when everyone always says I will not become my mother.
