<p>I’m a twin too. Not planning on getting an appointment, instead go through ROTC. My sis and I were always driven to be close but in a unique way. We actually never had the same group of friends etc. We now do hang out with some of the same people but for the most part it still varies and its nice because we like being individuals, considering some people consider us the same. We’ve come across jealousy rivals but who doesn’t?. My folks are glad we both know where and what we want to do in life and are glad we both shine in our own way.
Getting an appointment to a service academy is an endeavor that takes a long time and is worth the hard work, which takes too much preparation for a very imperative reason. The siblings of cadets who once were unsure of themselves b/c of what attention his/her cadet sibling was getting will mature into an understanding of how this uniqueness has forced an attention in an inadvertently way. That individual will hopefully come to appreciate the situation and find his/her talent and shine just as bright, knowing the parents are just as proud.</p>
