Gaby and Ana Many siblings have similarities and differences. I have two sisters; Gaby and Ana live in the same home and have the same parents. Even though Gaby and Ana are unique in their own ways they still complement one another by creating their own attitude in themselves and me. Gaby and Ana are worlds apart, not just in relation to style, but also in personality, and, aspirations. Different as night and day, Gaby and Ana have developed different styles that defined them as young ladies. Most noticeably, Gaby has been intrigued on wearing black and gray colors. She enjoys wearing black make up and vintage clothing. I am not saying that she does not have good self-esteem about herself, but she is reinventing her style again. Hopefully if her style changes she can feel more confident about herself. On the contrary, Ana finds fashion fascinating. She enjoys to shop and mix and match different colors and textures. For instance, Ana loves herself so much that, she always wants to know my opinion on how the wardrobe piece looks on her. A princess is what she resembles, and even though clothes do not make the person, she wears anything with confidence and does not limit herself to try new styles. Ana is so interested in fashion that someday she wants to become a fashion designer. Gaby and Ana, while having so much in common, are very different in personality.
Gaby hates to see Ana on thrive on top all the time and that is why Gaby feels like the black sheep of the family. Her personality is really shy in other words, very timid, she has a small sense of humor and takes everything serious. The only time I get to see my sister happy is when she spends time with her boyfriend or when she makes fun of Ana. At the same time, Gaby is a really serious and intellectual person. She cares about graduating from high school and continuing her education. Unlike Ana, Gaby already has developed great ideas because she is older but never really gets them done. She is a critical thinker due to all the reading she does but she cannot seem to project a powerful voice to convey her ideas, so she is a bit shy when it comes down to meeting new people. For example: In freshmen year she wanted to run for school president, but it never happened because she was shy and did not communicate with anyone. She has felt like she cannot communicate with everyone because they would not understand her philosophies. Even my mother pushed me as her brother to get her acquainted with my friends, but I felt as if she should make her first move and introduce her to the group but she never did. However, Ana is still really outgoing. She loves attention and she enjoys socializing with anyone. Ana is curious about everything. In all honesty, I feel as if Ana tries really hard to fill the social void that me and Gaby have at times. Ana has daily conversations with me that she otherwise could not have with Gaby. She also shows a lot of gratitude on the feedback I give her because I have experience in certain situations that Ana is starting to face. For example: In a year and half she will graduate from grammar school and I am helping her out to find the right high school for her. Also, Ana is still young and really bright but she already has developed her skills to speak easily to convince people and make friends quickly.

As a result of such differences, my sisters also have different aspirations. How they view themselves as women is a really interesting thing that I cannot wait to see how they develop. Gaby sees herself studying law and becoming a lawyer but she never wants to have kids. After
