I am from sandy feet,
And wet bathing suits.
From football on the beach,
And chicken fights in the water.

I am from life-threatening tubing rides,
And knee boarding behind the boat.
From man hunt in the woods,
And ping pong at the lake house.

I am from uncomfortable uniforms,
And after school sports.
From caring, educated teachers,
And a fun, teaching school.

I am from brother rivalries,
And intense, competitive games.
From a sports court,
And a refreshing pool.

I am from movies of all kind,
And popcorn and candy.
From rowdy Gators games,
And barbeques before tailgating.

I am from family road trips,
And many vacation homes.
From North Carolina mountains,
And many off-road adventures.

I am from friends, who care,
And a family who loves me.
From birthday bashes,
And crazy sleepovers.

And to many more adventures…
