Sister Sister How often does one look like their relative? My sister, Carlee, and I, however, don’t resemble each other at all. Our opposite personalities, different lifestyle, and contrasting appearance define our differences.

The first difference is our character. I would describe my personality as very outgoing and social. I am easy to talk to and a good listener. I understand people and I make friends very easily. Carlee, in contrast, is much more calm and mellow. She comes off shy to people she doesn’t know, and keeps to herself most of the time. We both like being neat and organized with our life.
