Students of Sparta: Haley and Cameron Minetti

Smiles spread across on their faces, the Minetti twins are arguably some of the nicest young adults to walk the hallways. Of the duo, they are similar, but have their own distinct characteristics. Haley is the older sibling, yet Cameron tends to step in with the role of a protective older brother; they also have big brother, Mason, senior, with them through their journey. At the conclusion of the interview, I asked them to complete the statement: "My brother/sister is..." and they both looked at each other and laughed. A typical brother-sister duo, after all. Words spoken by Haley are in pink; Cameron's words are in blue. 

Let me tell you - Cam can get mad so quickly! Maybe because you are always moody *eye roll*. But I guess -  every now and then - [Haley] helps me out with schoolwork. We're in the same Spanish class. Cam is very smart, though. He's also pretty protective. Being part of the wrestling team [especially under the mentorship of Mason] has made him very competitive, but in a good way - he's become a lot more tough with himself and everything he wants to accomplish. We have the same humor, actually. When we were a little younger, I had this iPod touch. Somehow, Haley broke it - and she wrote me this long letter explaining how it happened and how sorry she was! I was so upset! Honestly, it was not a big deal; I wanted a new one, anyway. And way back, we got into so much trouble together: one time we ripped up a couch we had in our playroom and there was this other instance... we had this tub of Vaseline, and we were playing around and took globs of it and put it all over the walls. Yeah! Our mom heard us giggling and when she came in and put her hand on the wall, she could not get a solid grip at all. I would say we've had some pretty good times together.
