Wes Adamson once said, “Sisters and brothers just happen, we don’t get to choose them, but they become one of our most cherished relationships.” Adamson understood the significance and importance of the sibling relationship and bond. Not only do I understand his quote, but my life is a prominent example of his quote. I didn’t choose triplet siblings, they just came into my life. While siblings bring out the best and worst in people, the triplets have impacted me in how they have taught me the importance of character, taught me to never take myself too seriously and to cherish some of the most crucial moments in life.

Whether or not I realized it, they were helping to create the person I am today, they taught me to love kids and to have kindness and patience even when it was an extreme struggle. I became a babysitter at a young age, and today I am the unpaid math and english tutor, as well as their personal chauffeur. Because of them, I matured very quickly and that allows me to excel in many of the activities that I participate in today, and allows me to have the great opportunities with individuals that I do. Their everyday craziness and irresponsibility on many days, is what allows me to be somewhat of another parental figure, as I am carpooling, cooking dinner on occasions, helping with homework and being a person they can talk to about friends and
