Chipotle-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
When I was 14 years old, I realized my sister and I were indeed twins. It wasn't until after my mother's stroke that I realized how much we had in common. We grew extremely close and quite inseparable after realizing we had nobody but each other. Walking into a new school with nobody to call a friend, I looked to my sister as the only friend I had and she was there for me every step of the way. It was like I had found my other half, the piece I had been missing and longed to have. I found my key to happiness. It was like, the more we talked to each other, the more I was certain we were twins. Everything from when we had to pee to finishing each other's sentences, we made our every move in coordination.

Our personalities did not quite match up perfectly but deep down inside we could be known as just two very silly, funny, and caring people. Always lending a helping hand, willing to give the shoes off our feet and clothes off our backs to anyone in need and always looking out for other people in general regardless of how we’re
