I am Summer sun, from fresh smell of cut grass and the light breeze.
I am from the little cottage along the lake.
I am from the heart flower bush, the tall pine trees that shade the cottage.
I am from the family sunday night dinners and the dimples on my face, from Jean and Dave and The Cataniaâ€...
A young boy sits.
Free, wild, adventurous.
Plenty of time.

USM runs down the field like a herd of bulls, striking at the goal. But I keep my stick down and head up. My vision becomes clear as my nervo...
Throughout my life, it has been a constant battle of people telling me that I cannot do something and me proving them wrong. To get where I need to be, I need to work harder at things than normal people.
