Summary of summer vaction

This summer i traveled to Wichita, Kansas for nationals track; my brother had made it in the 400. He had to compete against people all over the united states. We met lots of new people and we got to interact with different people. The hotel that we stayed at was the Super 8, it was a small city and many tourist had bring money into their state. The weather was kinda like Texas but it was different kind of dry not Texas dry. Soon as we got to the stadium, they had a ceremony to congratulate the kids for making it that far. The started ceremony by bringing each region onto the track. We were region 12, the biggest region. We had really represented because we had so much talent and plus we came home with the most wins overall. Even though my brother didn't win a medal he came in nineteenth place out of sixty-seven boys. He was proud of his self and so were we. I had trained with him the day before he ran.We had went to this school that had a track and we ran four one hundreds. He was a little nervous, but i gave him a prep talk. I told him" you didn't come all this way for nothing, don't worry about what everybody Else does just focus on you. Stay positive and keep god first and you will be blessed. You deserved to be here." He took what i said to heart. and went out there and gave it his best and that's all that matters. He might have came home empty handed but least he didn't come home saying what ifs and doubting his self. He felt good about what he did and he wants to do the same thing but win next year. It was a vacation to me but not for him it was a job. He couldn't go swimming and stay up late and play games in the lobby like we did. He had to rest.
