My Twin Sister
As I flip through my photo album, memories engulf my heart and mind. I flashback to the first day of my Catholic education…
I peered into the first grade classroom. Thirty-six eager eyes glanced towards me. Tears flowed as my mother left me standing by the book bag hooks. ?Hi!? Lauren said. I gazed into the bright brown eyes of my classmate. My desire to make a friend overtook the tears and I returned the greeting with a smile. From that moment on, Lauren and I became inseparable. Every moment of my elementary and junior high education held a place for her. She instantly became a member of my family, and I, hers. Our parents assumed that just about every weekend involved a sleepover. Our trips to the grocery store with either of our parents, always brought the question, ?Are you two twins? After awhile I found myself saying, ?Yes.?
My reminiscing brought me back to our trips to the zoo, our great girl scout camp, Halloween costumes, birthday parties, and our favorite pastime, writing plays. We would create plays about a technically advanced space world.
