Frances, junior, and Rachel Fechter, sophomore, give The Kirkwood Call an inside look on what its like being a part of the Fechter sisterhood.
The Kirkwood Call (KC): Describe your sister in one word.
Frances (FF): Soft spoken.
Rachel (RF): Unique.
KC: What would you do with $1,000,000?
FF: I would travel a lot. I’ve never been out of the country so I would definitely do that.
RF: Go to Paris.
KC: What is a song that reminds you of your sister?
FF: Any One Direction song, she’s obsessed.
RF: ”Call Me Maybe” because we always blast it in the car on the way to school.
KC: What is your favorite T.V. show?
FF: The Office or One Tree Hill
RF: My all time favorite is Full House, its my go-to show.
KC: How much time do you spend together?
FF: A lot of time because she lives upstairs, probably 5-6. We have a class together too.
RF: On a school day I’ll see her in the morning, during yearbook and for some time after school. We occasionally hang out to get food or go shopping.
KC: Who is more of a morning person?
FF: Definitely Rachel, for sure.
RF: Definitely me because she’s really bad about waking up in the morning. It is so hard to wake her up. She the opposite of a morning person, she’s more of a night owl she stays up really late.
KC: What is your favorite food?
FF: I like pizza.
RF: Tacos for sure because tacos have all the food groups and they’re delicious. It’s a win-win situation.
KC: What is your sister most likely to be doing on the weekends?
FF: She would be with her friends and she’s in band so she sometimes has some band things to do.
RF: Hanging out with her friends.
KC: Is she more like a sibling or a friend to you?
FF: More like a sibling. We fight like sisters do a lot but we get along most of the time though.
RF: We’re not exactly friends but were not enemies either, although we do fight sometimes. I can’t imagine life without her, it would be much more boring. Life can get complicated with her but we have more of a healthy sisterly relationship.
KC: What is the best memory you have had with your sibling?
FF: When I was five and she was four, we had a big box of Barbies and I left it sitting out and she thought it was smart to walk on the side of the box. She fell and got stitches and she thinks its my fault.
RF: Our aunt has Multiple Sclerosis and every year we do the walk together and raise money. Doing that together allows us to spend time together and helps the cause.
KC: Want to add anything else about your relationship?
FF: We’re opposites but she’s a pretty good sister.
RF: Even though we are different we still love and support each other.
