Me vs Tim

Awards and recognition: An award that I can think of that would come to my mind which happened this past summer was that I was given the opportunity to go to Nashville, Tennessee to represent the state of Michigan for the club I’m in called FCCLA. It was one of the most shocking times of my life because up until that point, I was a bit of an under achiever with things such as that. I could remember my mother was finally proud of me as well as my father. I’ve always been a bit on the shy side so I’d never wanted to participate in activities that would require me to go out of my safe-zone. Well, I finally did and in doing so, I finally achieved something. My brother, Tim, was always the popular one. He was in band, he played on the football team, and he was nearly a straight a student. He was one of the best guys that Mississippi had to offer. He had so many awards and trophies that I knew I’d never be able to amount to anything he had done. So, I never tried. Well, when I was able to go to Tennessee, I actually tried to make something of myself and I did! I made second in the nation. It may only be one insignificant factor in my life, but to me it means the world. Because it means that I’m not just a loser like I had always thought myself to be who would never amount to anything her brother was.
