Assignment 22- Alex

I think one of the big things that provide context to my life is probably that I'm a triplet. Its a fact that's been there form the beginning and shapes quite a lot of things. For example, when I was really little, like 3 or something, my parents thought I couldn't talk. They took me to speech therapy expecting there to be something wrong with me but I could talk just fine. It was more the fact that the girls wouldn't shut up and ended up talking to me most of the time. I just never really had to talk so I didn't. Now it's more affecting things like shared birthday parties, them constantly needing rides everywhere, fighting for who gets to drive, not getting restricted licenses cause insurance, having to get up early cause one of them has jazz band (thanks Julia for stealing like 30 minutes of sleep every single day). It makes me always think of what other people have going on when I schedule stuff and has generally made me pretty good at taking care of my own problems so I don't just dump more on my parents. When I go to college, I wouldn't have that level of support anymore and I'll be just fine without it I think.
