Dear little brother,

Well, aren't you lucky! I think I'm going to start making my end of summer letter a tradition since this will be the second year in a row. I know I annoy you & you annoy me on a day to day basis but hey, you're actually turning into a decent human being (who would've thought?!). Even though you won't read this, I just thought I should throw in a few words of wisdom about junior year. Junior year is the most important year of high school (the rumors are unfortunately true) but I know you'll be able to handle it. But even though junior year is important, make sure to LIVE IT UP. Transferring made me miss out on a lot of junior year but don't let yourself get in your own way like I did. Take advantage of everything junior year has to offer, especially if you have the opportunity to go on Kairos (which you should TOTALLY DO btw). Go to all of the dances & especially…PROM!! I can't wait to see you get all dressed up & you know I will be taking pictures like a professional photographer. Prioritize school & everything but make sure to MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF. I know the fall is super busy with football & homework & everything but make sure to give yourself at least 15 minutes a day to do something you like. Whether that be screaming to X in the shower or yelling at your friends over Xbox, give yourself a little time to be you (wow that was super cheesy). Anyway, I know we didn't spend the most time together this summer (because of obvious reasons) I'm glad we got to make some memories together. We got to go to Busch Gardens & chow down & scream on Verbolten which was a top 5 time. Even though you weren't able to stay long on vacation in the Outer Banks, I'm glad I had you to keep me and mom company on the ride there. Finally, even though I'll be home every now & then I will miss ya dude. I'm still disappointed in your music choices but I'm hoping you'll eventually see the light. Welp, that's it. Best of luck with school & football & I'm always a text away for homework help or if you just need to rant about life at home.

Love,

Your favorite (and only) sister
