Dear Summer,

I miss...

sitting on my roof watching the sun set at night.
swimming in my pool for an entire day even when it's dark out.
walking to motion with out getting hypothermia.
wearing shorts and a t-shirt everyday.
being outside with my neighbors.
playing man-hunt and having my mom freak out about ticks.
motion summer spectacular.
small groups.

basically everything about you, Summer.

And I just have one request; please hurry.

St. Baldricks - Team Brent

My brothers swim team all shaved their heads yesterday. Unlike most teams in their league, they didn't shave it just because it was the end of the season and states was right around the corner. They shaved their heads for a cause. What cause? St. Baldricks. St. Baldrick's is a foundation that raises millions of dollars for cancer each year. The event yesterday, was in honor of a seven year old boy, Brent who is a cancer survivor and an adorable little kid. Together, the team raised over $3000 dollars. Before the actual head shaving event, everyone was saying how "they wouldn't have friends if they shaved their head," which is completely ridiculous. If someone is that shallow to not be friends with you because you shaved your head to help kids with cancer, well quite frankly, you need new friends. Each and every one of the kids on the team inspires me and did what they knew was right. Together, Team Brent gave me Hope.

So I have these two awesome friends...Amelia and Chelsea. I met them both from my High School swim team. Sadly, they are graduating this year. One is going to college in New Haven, the other in Boston. I always think about "what we should do next year in swimming" and then realize that I'm not going to see them. I will miss them so much. There won't be anymore...
