Eisenbeis 1 Courtney Eisenbeis Bryan McBride English Composition One 16 April 2015 Two Peas in a Pod It is commonly found that most children relate to and resemble someone close to them in their life. Among every family there are many resemblances in facial features and personality traits, but there are also many other differences that make each individual their own person. Though most people say they are similar to their mom or dad, I am in close resemblance with my aunt. Although we are alike in most ways, there are just as many differences which is what makes us individual. A few of the many qualities that make me and my aunt comparable and similar consist of our looks and body features. She has long blonde hair that tends to change color with the seasons, just as mine does. We are similar in eye color and the curve of our smile. Freckles are common along the family line, but we are two of few that dont show freckles until the sun brings them out. Another body feature we have in common is the pigment of our skin. Not all of our family looks the same or similar but it just so happened that I was born looking just like my aunt. Along with our facial and body features we are similar in the way we talk. When we are excited or have a lot to say we talk fast and as we keep talking we end up not being able to be understood. People we talk to always have to tell us to slow down or breathe because our words start to jumble together. As a little kid I would always watch my aunt and follow everything she does. Because of that I now walk the same way she does. We both have a slight slouch in our shoulders and walk on the insides of our shoes. Since I have always watched and followed in her footsteps, it has Eisenbeis 2 become habit for me to be just like her. I never want to leave her side and because of that she has taught me not only lessons in life but also what to do in many situations. She is a perfect example of a role model for me because of the similarities we share. Since I have gotten older and I have become more and more like her, standing side by side or far apart, we are almost mistaken as sisters. There are so many similar qualities about me and my aunt which makes us more comparable than we are contrastable, but there are still things we each do that make us slightly different. Growing up I have always been involved in sports, but when my aunt was younger, and still to this day she does not have a sporty bone in her body. Being involved or not involved in physical sports is not the only thing that makes us slightly different. We have also not always enjoyed doing the same things. Being a little girl, I never wanted to be girly and have tea parties like my aunt tried to do with me. I always made her play outside with me and go to the park to swing, because that was my favorite thing to do. Along with our differences in interests we also dress different. I have a more laid back kind of style and she has the more upbeat and instyle fashion, which sets us apart in a great difference of not only how we dress, but it shows more of the kind of people we are and what we are interested in. Even though we have differences, that still does not set us apart from being similar in so many ways. As I have grown up we have both changed a lot as individuals. Always watching my aunt and wanting to be just like her has made me choose to go in a certain career path she enjoys and to spend more time with her doing what we both love, going to sporting games and spending quality time at dinner or shopping together. Over the years having someone like my aunt who is so similar to me in my life has helped me not only figure out what I like doing that is different, but it has also helped me in deciding what I love to do best. She has been a great best Eisenbeis 3 friend for me because of who she is in
