My cousin

I have a lot of relatives, though none of them is such a close friend of mine as my cousin Victor. He's a good-looking amiable guy 20 years old, tall and blue-eyed, with hair a bit lighter than mine. He has a lively face and a nice smile.
Despite the fact that we grew up apart, we have a lot in common. We have the same habits, the same way of talking and so on. so, Sometimes people ask whether we are siblings. We used to fight all the time when our parents put us together as children. Nevertheless, I really missed him when he was far from me, and so did Victor. What is more, we have pretty similar values and aims in life, and I always can rely on his help or just advice. As we are almost the same age there has always been kind of a competition between us. All his achievements have been challenge for me. And I have to admit that it hasn't been really easy to be a match for him, as he's a smart student and open-minded man with a great variety of interests in life. At the moment Victor is studying in the Warsaw School of Economics and he's one of the best students in the group. This fact is the biggest reason which makes me determined to study hard.
