In Atlanta, Mo. high school sit two unique sets of shoes connected to a pair of unique young men that share parents and the honor of being the heartland Scholar of the Week.  Oh, by the way did I mention they were twins?

"Growing up as twins I always had a best friend nearby.  We live out in the country, so a lot of people in the country find lack of things to do, well I had a best friend nearby," said Jamill Teter.
 
Yep, Jamill and Jeremy Teter, known better as the Teter boys to everyone in town, share everything from their clothing style and classes to facial features and personality, which fascinated people when they were younger.

"In kindergarten it was kind of like hey look there's some twins and nobody knew who we were.  You always heard, 'are you guys twins?' a lot, which got annoying at times.  But now everybody knows us and is use to us. And half the people can tell us apart now," said Jeremy Teter.

The Teter boys are inseparable in life and in class.  They're also active in a wide-range of extracurriculars and athletics.

"Jamill: We're involved in FTA, FCCLA, FFA, NHS, FBLA and I'm involved in
STU-CO. CE: What's STU-CO? Jamill: Student Council,” said Jamill Teter.

“Jeremy: And then sports.  We're in basketball in the fall. We've got fall baseball and spring baseball," said Jeremy Teter.

And their favorite teacher, Mrs. Harvey, has the twins three, sometimes four hours a day. She says the two boys are special because they're just all around good guys who have great parents.

"They're witty.  They have an excellent vocabulary.  They actually compete to see who can write the biggest words in their essays because I always comment on their vocabulary.  They just go above and beyond what they need to do," said English Teacher
Judy Harvey.

As far as the future for the boys is concerned?

"I'm planning on attending the University of Missouri-Columbia,” said Jamill Teter.

“I also plan on attending Mizzou for the next four years," said Jeremy Teter.

And like two peas in a pod these guys have one other special feature.

"Sometimes we can finish each other's sentences," said Jamill and Jeremy Teter.

These two have always been very special. I want to take this time to let them know how proud I am to be their aunt, and to let them know that I do love them very much. Their parents did a wonderful job raising them, couldn't ask for any better children. They are smart boys and they have a very good sense of direction and they are definitely headed the right way. Good Job boys and Good Job Scott and Cindy. Love you all.

"Boy's" LOVE Always Your Friend DAD

These boys have rocked my world their entire life and I have always been proud of them. They are very capable of accomplishing all their goals and have been taught that their goals and dreams are all reachable if you believe in yourself and know you can!!! Continue on boys, in a few months somehow I'll find the courage to give you your wings to fly. Love MOM

Congratulations, Awesome Story!!!!!
