How I Spent My Summer

My summer was...busy. It seemed like I never stopped doing something. As soon as school let out for the summer, I was in the pool training away for the summer season that didn't happen. I was also going to my new job lifeguarding at Atlantis Swim Club. Then, a few weeks into summer, I was embarking on a mission trip to Coastal North Carolina with my church. We stayed there for a week helping out around the small community of Hyde County. Once I got back from that trip I had...a week of downtime that wasn't really downtime. I was working again, all the time, and when I wasn't working I was either swimming or lifting weights...again for my summer swimming season that didn't happen. After that week, I winged my way (literally) out west to visit my grandparents and family in Arizona. My family and I endured 2 weeks of blistering temperatures in the deserts of Arizona, but we managed to have a good time. And then once we got back, it was back to the daily grind for the last remaining few weeks of vacation before school started. School has started now, I'm a junior, and I can't wait to see what this year will bring.
