Being a twin

My twin and I are the same and different in many ways. I have always felt inadequate when compared to him. He got a full ride scholarship to one of the best schools in the nation, and I did not. I still like the school that I go to, I just need to work to earn a little bit more money to pay for it unlike my brother who worked harder in school so he doesn't have to pay for his schooling.
We both served our faith by giving service to those that need it in different countries. I went to a very cold country and most people had a general sense of them not to like people like me that came to there country. My brother seemed to have been praised by the people he served in the warm country he went to. He saw a lot of success.

Many times I have felt that my brother worked harder than me to get better things than me. Many times I've also thought it was simply better luck. It could be both. I have to learn that he really is a hard worker and that most things aren't just given to him.

I always compare myself to him and see myself as a burden to my family sometimes rather then an asset. I continually remind my self that I am special and loved for my unique characteristics. I'm naturally kindhearted and enjoy spending quality time with people. I don't let my temper flare up. I'm generally an ok guy to get along with and people seem to like that in me.
