Relay is going to be so different this year. First I am the captain of the team, and have so much more responsibilities then I have ever had, but I love it. I love working hard for such an amazing cause. But what really, bothers? me, idk what word to use, is that I am doing it with all new people. The first time I have ever done it was with my girl scout troop, and they were like my family. Last year I did it with my high school friends, and it was amazing. I am only close with a select few from this year, when in the past I was close with everyone. Last year was an amazing experience, especially for my two best friends and me. Even though it was cut short because of the weather, the laps we did take together really did mean a lot to me, more than they probably know... until now. Just knowing that there was something else that can bring us closer together, something that we have all been affected by, was life-changing. Of course, I wish there was no cancer in this world, but because there is, I am glad I had made a positive experience on it. This year though, I think it will hit me the hardest. Not being that close to these people compared to my best friends and high school friends, I think this will bring us together in such amazing ways. We all have been affected with cancer, and that common bond will bring us together. Especially for girls that I am closer than others, I think this will bring us to our next step in our friendships. College is the time that you make your life long friends that will always be there. I am not saying that my high school friends, especially my two truest and dearest friends, are any less than them. My two besties mean the world to me, and I know with them, that will never change. But everyone is moving on and making other friends, so why shouldn't I? Something like this will help out, so to speak. I can feel that this will be another life-changing experience for me. It will be such an amazing time to have with these people. I honestly cannot wait for tomorrow night to come.
