Twin rivalries

For sophomores Will and Sam Guy, having a twin is a comfort. Home life is never lonely, and there is always someone to talk to.

“He’s always there. We do almost everything together,” Will said.

Will and Sam take Chemistry Honors, Art 2 and Spanish 3 together. They also compete in many of the same sports, including soccer, cross-country and track.

“It’s competition to get better,” Will said. “With running, the competition is a lot more defined. But with school, we just help each other out there. I guess it’s all constructive.”

Sam agrees with Will in that there is a lot of competition between the two.

“We compete in almost everything,” Sam said. “Because of this, we end up fighting a lot.”

As fraternal twins, Sam and Will’s looks differ due to their different set of genes. They also have different strengths, although most of their interests are the same.

“I guess he’s more into math than me and I’m more into science, if we’re talking about school,” Will said.

Will says that having a twin is very different than having a sibling because, as a twin, Will shares the exact same experiences with Sam. They are able to do everything together because of their same age and grade.

“It can get annoying because he’s always around, but I also always have a friend,” Sam said.
