My Sister Is Nothing Like Me — and That's Why She's My Best Friend

Rachel and I both began our softball careers before we reached elementary school. Only, she stuck with it, and I quickly moved on to after-school shopping. Rachel’s extremely strong; she works for the body that allows her to hit home runs and make double plays. I love watching her — it inspires me to motivate myself. I don’t play recreational sports, but I’m a runner, and Rachel’s dedication is what drives me to tie up my sneakers every morning.
