On one day, in particular, my brother took one of our inflatable tubes and placed it near one of the edges of the pool in the shallow end, and then climbed out to walk back towards our walkout deck. Once he arrived at the end of our sidewalk in front of the deck, he quickly ran until he reached the edge of the pool. What he did next left me in amazement. He jumped from the edge of the pool and straightened his body into a…

Chlorine had filled my lungs and echoing splashes filled my ears. All the signs indicated a typical swim team practice was beginning. Five minutes later I stood at the edge of the pool, my swim cap gluing hair to scalp. The whistle blew; warm-up laps had begun. I delicately slid into the water; frigid liquid slowly covered my…

From being around each other multiple hours every day, working together in practices and games, and bus rides to events, it allowed for bonds to be formed. This year serving as a captain for both the soccer and swim teams, it really enforced more of a connection between my teammates and I. As captain, I wanted to make sure that everyone…

Delphi was known as the naval of the world. It is the ancient sanctuary where the Oracle or Pythia gave her prophecies. The oracle sat on a tripod and breathed in the vapors that came from deep within the Earth. She would then go into a trance and answer questions from kings to peasants. We started the tour at the Delphi museum. We saw many of the artifacts that were found during excavations. They were brought into the museums to prevent further damage and to protect them. There are two main…

For the first time, Reading Chapter was able to utilize these items to take game night to a whole new level. Members showed up with their families, as well as prospects (thus doubling this fun game night to also be a prospect…

Then I waited in the lobby with Ella, Aly, and Morgan waiting for Emma. Shortly after Emma arrived we went up to the room. After that we hung out for about half an hour just talking. Then we went to the pool downstairs and swam for a while, we played games like tag, marco polo, racing across the pool, chicken fight, and water charades, and of course went down the slide. I’m not exactly sure who won the chicken fight, because when Ella was on top of me she tried knocking Morgan down even though…
