Lauren And Mariah Research Paper

On any given day when I am out with my 17 year old twin daughters, we can get approached by complete strangers that ask, “Are they twins?” This question is usually followed up by a second common question, “Are they identical?” Many strangers are shocked when I respond that my daughters are not identical twins. Although my daughters, Lauren and Mariah, share many similarities such as height, weight, skin complexion, and hair length, they are vastly different individuals. These differences can be seen in their style of dress, personalities and personal hobbies.
Like many 17 year old girls, fashion plays an important part in their lives. Although both of my daughters take great pride in their dress and appearance, they have acutely different styles. Mariah has a trendsetting type of style. She is more of a risk taker when it comes to fashion. She prefers
layering and pairing clothes in a way that most people would not consider. She is not afraid to create unique outfits and she usually gets complimented for many of her ensembles. On the other hand, Lauren’s style is a little more conservative. She has more of a traditional and chic style. Although her style is not very showy, it is her own style and she is very comfortable with it. Lauren is also great at pulling together uncommon outfits that show her personality and her sense of fashion sense.
Another way my daughters are different, can be seen in their personalities.
Mariah tends to be a little more social than Lauren. She is quicker to respond and engage in conversation when approached by strangers. Additionally, Mariah is probably quicker to join a club, while Lauren is quicker to lead a club. Ironically, Lauren has a quieter personality, but she tends to thrive in leadership roles. Lauren can appear a little more guarded in her opinions, while Mariah is very direct and doesn’t mind sharing her opinions with the world. Although they have many of the same acquaintances, they still interact with their own circle of friends in and out of school.
Lastly, my twin daughter’s differences can be seen in their hobbies and extracurricular activities. Lauren enjoys tennis and has played on the school’s tennis team for the past two years. In addition, she enjoys producing music and DJ’s events in her spare time. Lauren also enjoys playing the saxophone. On the other hand, Mariah has played on her high school’s soccer team since the ninth grade. She can play the clarinet and is a self-taught guitar
player.
Although both of my daughters have many similarities, they share just as many differences. Some of these differences are seen in their dress, personalities and hobbies. These differences only confirm God has blessed me with two wonderful and separate individuals.
