Whoever said \u201ctwo was better than one,\u201d was correct, especially for some students in our school. Plymouth High School is lucky enough to have to many sets of twins, especially in our Sophomore class. Marissa and Mikayla German, and Clay and Kurt Corsbie are just two prime examples of the many sets of twins in our school who live by this saying.<\/p>\n


\nEven though twins Mikayla and Marissa German, and Kurt and Clay Corsbie do not do all of the same things together, they still realize that their lives would be completely different without one another. \u201cI could not imagine life without Mikayla because she has been there my whole life,\u201d Marissa German simply states,\u00a0 \u201cIt would not be the same without her.\u201d \u201cI know that I could not imagine my life without my twin, even though he is in sports all year round, he and I still hang out when we can,\u201d Kurt Corsbie explains.
\nBeing a twin has its advantages over having a regular sibling.\u201d My favorite thing about being a twin is always having someone to talk to and have them always around when you need them the most,\u201d Mikayla German exclaims. \u201cWe can help each other with school work that we can not figure out,\u201d Clay Corsbie described.
\nDespite the many advantages, there are some disadvantages that comes with being a twin. \u201cI do not like it how Mikayla always wears my clothes. I also hate it when she does not listen to me and when we fight,\u201d Marissa explains. In much agreement with her sister Mikayla adds, \u201cI hate the fights and the arguing that we do, and I would have to say above all the most challenging thing is getting along when we are in bad moods.\u201d \u201cHe can get annoying, but he always says that I am the annoying one,\u201d Kurt jokingly states, \u201cHowever, I would have to say that the small arguments that we get in daily prove to be the most challenging thing.\u201d Clay however claims \u201cTruthfully the most annoying thing is having to put up with him trying to have everything and not sharing with me.\u201d
\nUnlike regular siblings twins have to deal with constant annoyance of classmates assuming that they are one person. \u201cI hate it when people get our names mixed, specially since we are not identical twins,\u201d Mikayla exclaims. \u201cWell, even though Clay and I are fraternal people still get us confused, and it can really get annoying,\u201d Kurt shares. Parents unfortunately are not limited to this group of peers. \u201cThey used to dress us up exactly the same so no one could really tell us apart,\u201d both Mikayla and Marissa state. \u201cOur parents always make us share almost everything with one another,\u201d Clay explains.
\nEven though they see each other every day at home, they still make time to hang out with their twin. \u201cWe sometimes play basketball or throw the Frisbee for fun, and also play x-box,\u201d stated Clay. In much agreement with his twin Kurt explains \u201cWe usually play with a Frisbee in our yard.\u201d Both Mikayla and Marissa agree that \u201c We play volleyball and basketball together. We also watch movies at home as well.\u201d
\nAs anyone can tell \u201ctwo is definitely better than one,\u201d for these twins. Even though they sometimes get on each others nerves they still demonstrate\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 the\u00a0 true\u00a0 bonds of friendship.\u00a0\u00a0 A friendship that can never be broken by either of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
