Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, especially their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice. It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or many friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members.
However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice” is an interesting one. Have you ever thought of the following questions?

Chicago twins Deprice and Shaprice Hunt were accepted into 56 colleges and have earned about $1.6 million in scholarships.
Of the 56 schools, Shaprice has been accepted into 35 colleges, two of which have offered her a full-ride scholarship. She said that she earned $1.3 million in scholarships. Shaprice wants to choose either Illinois State University or Eastern Illinois University and major in Education and Psychology.
Deprice, who is a youth activist in Chicago, has been accepted into 27 schools. He earned $300.000 in scholarship and received two full scholarships offers. “My motivation was to make sure my mom didn’t have to be out of pocket,” Deprice said. His top choice is HBCU Morehouse College, which he said is his dream school. He also said that he wants to study Performing Arts and Political Science.
In addition to their acceptance letters and scholarships, the twins are proud of their perfect attendance and a total of 48 awards throughout their high school years.
The Hunt twins praise their family and teachers for their successes. They said that it is easy, especially in Chicago, to let negative beliefs about black youth get the best of someone.
Deprcie decided to tell their story in the hope of inspiring others. “A lot of people say you can’t do it because of where you are from” Deprice said. “Don’t listen to them.” The twins said they know financial problems held a lot of teens back. But it is important to be persistent. “ Never give up,” Shaprice said, “Picture your future. Not only to make yourself proud but make your family proud too.”
The twins said their hope is for every child, no matter what their race or background is, to have an opportunity to go to college. Deprice said it is important for him and his sister to continue to use their voices to encourage other teens, even after they go off to college. 9. How much more scholarship does Shaprice earn than Deprice？
