GARY, Ind., Jun 11, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Indiana triplets have made their mother triply proud by graduating at the top of their high school class.
Melinda Rosado is the valedictorian at Calumet High School, her sister Maritza is salutatorian, and Maricell, the fraternal triplet, will graduate at No. 6, the Gary (Ind.) Post-Tribune reported Sunday.
Parents Gaspar and Christina Rosado were strict about the girls starting their homework immediately after school and did not allow the triplets to get after-school jobs.
"(Our mother) made sure we knew school and learning were important," Maritza told the newspaper.
Even though the sisters didn't study together, it was common for them to make the same mistakes on an exam or for the first paragraphs of their essays to resemble one another, the Post-Tribune reported.
"They think alike," their mother said.
