Sharing things with siblings can be hard, but sharing everything with a triplet can be worse. Things like birthdays, classes at school even friends would be shared. Sophomores Lissette, Lizbette and Gerardo Vallin all know what that is like. Lissette Vallin was born first, then Lizbette, and lastly Gerardo. In addition to each other, they also have an older sister and two younger brothers.
According to the triplets, being a triplet is no different from having another brother or sister, but they also have to share a lot more with each other than with their other siblings. While they do have different classes, they are in the same grade and they can help each other on assignments that they do not understand.
“I like having classes with my siblings,” Lissette Vallin said. “I guess it’s kinda nice to have somebody with you on the high school adventure.”
Even though they help each other, they do not normally get along outside of school. The triplets are very different from each other. Lissette is the bold one of the siblings and enjoys cooking and baking. Lizbette is the mature one and likes to watch movies. Lastly, Gerardo is the silent one who likes to fish and play video games. The triplets also do not like it when they want to hang out with a friend but one of the others also wants to hang out because then they do not get time away from the others.
There are also many stereotypes that the siblings do not like. Some of them being that they were all born identical, that they are all the same gender, or that they have supernatural powers, like reading each other’s mind or feeling each other’s pain.
“It makes me feel sad because I really wish we could do that,” Lissette Vallin said. “And also I wish we all looked the same so we can go to each other’s classes.”
With all that they go through together, they still have a great relationship with each other. While they do fight sometimes, all siblings have their differences. The important thing is that they are always there for each other no matter what. Born: 9:04 AM “
We’re different people, we just share the same birthday.
