Who do you get compared to?

After watching a relative of mine who plays football for Carolina the past couple of weeks, I remembered when he was living in Laurinburg, people used to compare us all the damn time. I was one of the smartest kids in the state, but he was the all star athelete. All of our classmates used to say "How come you ain't all athletic like Jacques?" Granted, I did play sports, but some people don't count golf and tennis as a sport... :? I doubt anyone said much to him about me besides "Ya'all are actually realted?!" But I never heard the end of it... even when he left Laurinburg. Regardless, now Jacques is being actively recruited by the NFL, pledged Kappa Alpha Psi Two years ago I believe and is once again on everyone's watch list. While I'm still hitting the books. Once again when I go home, I hear "Why aren't you all althletic like Jacques?!" from people who aren't leaving that lil podunk place while I'm here, once again, hitting the books. Keep in mind, that I have no grudge against the guy or anything, and our family, including him, recognize that I'm doing my thing just as much as he is and always has (as a matter of fact, the family was MORE impressed that I was going to A&T on a full ride than the fact that he was starting on UNC's football team), however its irritating that people that are going nowhere in life don't see this... My point is: Who in your family does everyone else either in the family or in the community try to compare you to? And this is my cousin: Tailback #20 Jacques Lewis

no matter where i go... i'ma be compared to my dad... i look, talk, sound, act like him at times.... everyone compares me to my dad....

My momma

Actually aiming for people that are around our age... but we can accept those... :roll:

^^lol, this boy is a trip. Anyways, I'm never compared to any of my other family members. Yup, that's right, I'm in a league of my own buddy!! Aight, lemme quit actin silly. Although I'm never compared to anyone else, my little cousin gets it bad. My uncle always pressures him to do the things that I did when I was his age and I constantly remind him that my little cousin and I are NOT the same people and he's not obligated in any way to walk in my footsteps.

My sister, damnit we are not twins :twisted:
