I remember each of them as if they were yesterday, the polar plunge Jack, Flynn, and I did barely a week after I made the list. Being the first week of March in the Midwest we froze our assess off. I immediately regretted showing Jack my list at that point. He saw polar plunge and immediately signed us up for the senior plunge. I swear, who ever thought jumping into a lake in freezing temperatures was absolutely positively insane, and the fact that we have kept this tradition for so many years…

Since kindergarden, I have always struggled. Behind in most classes, the only friend I still had was Brandon, the boy who once saved me. Acting as a parental figure, I looked up to him for everything, depending on him for any problems I had. In fact, he was the one who taught me to listen to everyone 's problems.
