''I would say we have a unique relationship ... We’re very protective of each other and want to ensure we’re doing our best,'' she said, according to Good Morning America (GMA).

Mya and Madison have different approaches to education

While they are very similar, they approach education in very different ways, with Mya crediting her success to being organised.

''I've always been the type of person who does everything as soon as I get it because I figure I'd rather do it now than later,'' said Mya, according to a Because Of Them We Can report.

On the other hand, Madison leaves the organisation to her sister, finding strength in her work ethic.

''I'd attend to all of the study sessions, be in the library, do the tutoring sessions, and just put in the effort -- and then, knowing when I needed help, I'd ask for it,'' Madison said.
