A Stronger Bond

In May of 2021, I finished my Freshman year of college and went home for the summer. I went back to working full time (40+ hours a week) and taking two college classes online. I had overworked and exhausted myself so much, that I became dependent on caffeine. The picture above is when my younger brother took me fishing for the first time and I caught my first fish, a 2lb Bass. The fish may not seem like a big deal, it meant a lot to me because I was really struggling, and my brother realized I needed him. He originally had plans to spend time with his friends before going to work, but he decide I was more important. He cancelled plans with his friends, called out of work, and spent the evening with me. Since this day, my brother and I have been closer than ever. While I may not be home a lot because I am at school, our relationship continues to grow.
