My family is absolutely the most important thing in my life. For those who don’t know, I am the oldest out of six, with five younger brothers. Being in a house with so many boys has been interesting, there’s really never a dull moment, that’s for sure. The best part about my family is that we all get along so well. My brothers and I are all best friends who genuinely love hanging out with each other, no matter the age gap.
We have the occasional catch up over FaceTime, but it only makes me more excited to have the summer to spend with them! Although getting to talk to them means the world to me, the message I got the other day from my brother Nick tugged on another heartstring.
Nicholas is 13 and for his class, he had to create a poster and write a paper about their hero. Much to my surprise, he chose to write about me.

On a side note, in order to access the essay he wrote, I had to scan the qr code at the top of the poster he made. When he told me that, I first of all had to ask what a qr code was, as well as how to scan it! I could not believe that 7th graders were using qr codes to scan and access their writing! Now more than ever, I realized that my little brothers probably have more technology knowledge than I do.
The poster on its own was so cute, and means so much to me. It truly will be something I cherish forever. But after reading the essay that went along with it, I realized how special the bond I have with Nicholas, as well as my other brothers is.
Seeing Nick’s project was such a nice surprise! I already knew how special my relationship with my brothers was, but after seeing his project, I realized it more than ever before. As sad as I will be to leave Ireland in just a couple of months, I will be very excited to see my brothers on more than just a FaceTime call.
