To my Opposite Sister

Though we're made with the same genes, we couldn't be more different

To my Opposite Sister
@celine_wright

I'm the youngest sister of two girls, just my sister and me. We're two years apart, but it seems as if we're two worlds apart. Early on, we both realized how different we were in almost every aspect of life. Before grade school, I was very girly, changed my outfit five times in a day and did my hair everyday while she was quite the tomboy, threw on whatever clothes were clean and brushed her hair and called it good. I was always a social butterfly, so I had friends from preschool call me and wanna talk to me all the time while my sister kinda kept more to herself, which is okay!

Primary school rolled around and I joined cheerleading for young kiddos while my sister wanted to ride four wheelers at home. I still cared about my physical appearance and my sister just really couldn't care less about hers. I loved school and learning and my sister went because she had to. Elementary school rolled around a few years later and I grew a little into my tomboy years when I wore basketball shorts and crocs. My sister still wore jeans and t-shirts. I got more into hanging out with friends, while my sister got more into drawing and artsy things. I still loved school and she still didn't care.

Then came middle school and high school. I gradually grew into the person I am today. I started wearing quality clothes and makeup, worked on my academics and did my best in everything I set my mind to in order to succeed. My sister, however, did bare minimum when it came to school; the only thing she had her mind on was to graduate and get out of that hell of a high school. Don't get me wrong, high school wasn't my favorite place to be, but I never resented it. I got along with everyone and built strong relationships between my friends and my teachers because that's what was important to me. My sister has always been and will always be an introvert, and that is still okay!

So, even though my sister and I are different in every piece of life, I don't think I could ever love a human as much as I love her. We would do anything for each other and I know that if I needed her right now, she would already be in her car on her way. She's my rock and I'm her safety blanket and I wouldn't want it any other way. We fought a lot when we were little because we were so different, but now we appreciate each other for their individuality and that is what makes our bond so beautiful and inseparable. They say opposites attract and I now know what that really means.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
