Twins Miriam and Mayra Maldonado on the campus of Illinois State

Miriam and Mayra Maldonado are identical twins with nearly identical backgrounds. The two attended the same schools, participated in the same extracurricular activities, and achieved the same levels of academic excellence. Now, they have transferred to Illinois State to study to become teachers.
