Dear big sister,

With the school year coming to a close, this means you only have one year left of law school. I know that the past two years have been the most difficult years of your life. And I can honestly say that I have never seen someone work so hard.

Your determination has been unbelievably inspiring. I will never understand how you managed to balance so many classes, studying all night, and having a job. I can only imagine the amount of stress you have been through every day. But now you will be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

To be honest no one was surprised that you chose to do your undergrad 1,240 miles from home. And no one was surprised that you graduated with a double major in political science and philosophy. Of course my argumentative older sister that made sure everything was fair was going to become a lawyer. I could not imagine you becoming anything else.

Our entire childhood I knew that you were smart, hardworking, brave, and incredibly strong. You are the only person I know that is courageous enough to pay for more schooling to do one of the world's hardest professions. No matter what life has thrown at you, you have stayed strong and confident. And I think it helps that you are incredibly competitive and determined.

It takes a tough person to be able to go through law school. I am so proud of you, even though you criticize t.v shows a lot if they get a courtroom scene wrong.

So big sister, please keep working hard and remember that it will pay off. I'm so proud of you. Keep smiling through the stress, I know you are going to be an incredible lawyer!

We Need More Than Memorials this Memorial Day
Cape Cod Irish

When I was a child, I used to look forward to Memorial Day Weekend from the time I returned to school after Christmas vacation. It was the yearly benchmark announcing the end of the school year and the beginning of summer vacation. It meant I was one step closer to regattas, swim meets and tennis matches.
