    Ipperwash Beach has been my home away from home for as long as I can remember. Some of my earliest memories include getting thrown off the inner tube into waves so big they could swallow me whole, campfires that my grandfather would build rain or shine, just so we could get that perfect bedtime treat and a sun burning so bright I thought the sweet summer would never end. As far as I was concerned, Ipperwash Beach was a magical place that couldn’t do any wrong. From a young age, I can remember the whispers and lingering stares I received when I would mention to a camp counsellor or adult family friend that it was almost time to go to the beach.…

    Even though the kids had nothing in their life, on their first visit to the beach, they were so happy and filled with wonder. I remember my first day at the beach, and it was amazing. However, I wasn’t really excited about going, and I knew in the back of my head that i'll be coming here a lot more often, so I took it for granted.

    A place that I hold dear is a little town on the panhandle of Florida in an area known as The Forgotten Coast called Mexico Beach. I have gone there every summer, staying for at least a week, since I was four years old. It is a place of tradition for my family because my mother vacationed there for the first time when she was four years old, too. I have come to love this place, not because it’s some epic fantasy vacation, but more because of what it represents to me. Mexico Beach is a place where each summer, for more than half of my life, I have spent every waking moment enjoying real quality family time.…

    Eleven years, four months, eight days, and thirteen hours. That is the day and time when my unspoiled life changed. The day that I no longer was able to view the world through the clouded eyes of a child, but through the clear eyes of a young adult. Countless people miss these moments in their lives, however I was fortunate enough to pin it down to the hour. The hour that my father informed me that I was leaving the only house and life I ever knew and move into not only a different residence but a different life.…
