MHS Twins Discuss their Experiences

Many sets of twins attend MHS. You may be wondering how it feels to be a twin. Do I wish I was a twin? Would I want a sister or a brother as a twin? Would I like being a twin, or would it drive me crazy? If I did have a twin, what characteristics would we have alike, and what would be different about us?
Twins go through many things that a single child may not. They sometimes say that they are closer to each other because they are the same age going through the same stages in life. But at times, they might think that being a twin is annoying and frustrating to be going through the same experiences.
Out of the sets of four twins I surveyed, three out of four said that they enjoy being a twin. Kelsie Paige said, “I like being a twin because you always have someone there to do things with instead of maybe doing it all by yourself.”
When interviewing Dustin and Justin Doering, they gave examples of how they are different and how they are alike. The Doerings said that they are different because Dustin would rather play video games and skateboard while Justin would like to hang with friends and walk. They are the same because they both listen to the same music and their favorite class is art.
The Paige girls are both involved in athletics and they both like hanging with friends. But they are different in so many ways also. They look nothing alike: Katie Paige looks like her father and Kelsie Paige looks like her mother. They are also different because Katie likes to cook and bake and Kelsie would like to be out and hunt.
