I wanted people to know I wasn’t just a piece of a three-part special. I wanted to be known by my own name. My siblings and I were all motivated to discover a passion in our lives and pursue it, but I found it especially hard to do so when constantly being associated with my brother and sister. Curious strangers often asked how I differ from my siblings, attempting to find superficial variations that distinguish me from them, but it is incredibly frustrating trying to differentiate myself from Matthew and Josephine based purely on physicalities. We have unique ambitions, fears, strengths, and weaknesses; we are no more alike than any other set of siblings in the world. To cram the three of us in the same box is to deny our individuality. I want to tell people that I love to learn, have a passion for baseball, and want to pursue a career in business. Nonetheless, people never seem to be interested in those things. They are more intrigued by the dynamic of me being a triplet than they are personally interested in
