A Letter To My Former Teammates

I can't begin to imagine life without y'all.

A Letter To My Former Teammates
McKenzie Brouk

Seven years went by in the blink of an eye. Seven years spent with each and everyone of you who has been apart of this team. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. I cant even begin to picture what my life would have been like without all of you in it. The feelings of sadness, but also joy comes to mind as I am finishing my final year as a Texas All Stars with all of you. There aren't enough words in the world to thank you for making my time on Synchro, but I'm going to try and put through words on how grateful I am.

Thank you for always being there for me through the good times and the bad. Your constant positive attitudes and pushing me to be my absolute best has kept me going all these years. if I was having a bad day at school I could always come to practice and my entire mood would be turned around because I was surrounding by the people I love who never fail to make me laugh. Know that I will always be here for you even when I'm all the way in Michigan. I will just be one phone call or text away for whatever you might need.

Thank you for being my literal family. I'll never forget the amazing memories we have all made together. We have been to so many cool places like Disney World, California, Wisconsin, Chicago, St. Louis, Mall of America, and so many more. This team has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me, and I will be thankful for the rest of my life.

Next year is going to be so different not skating alongside all of you, but I'm so excited to see how y'all do next season. I will be cheering so loud for you whether it is via video or in the stands (which still seems crazy to me). My heart breaks that I wont have another practice or competition with you, but all great things must come to an end. I just think of how lucky I truly am to have something that is so special that makes it incredibly hard to say goodbye to.

To all my younger sisters, remember to keep skating, work hard, and push through the bad days. I cant wait to see where life takes each and everyone of you. So even though my time as a Texas All Star is coming to an end the bond we have created with each other will last forever.

I love you girls so much and thank you for an amazing, and unforgettable seven years.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
