camp.

it's almost the most wonderful time of the year!


i'm so happy i could almost pee myself.


just kidding.


but seriously.  camp is the best time of the year.  and it's only four months and 10 days away!!  and what's even better about camp this year is that my friend drew is coming!  drew and i have been friends since sixth grade.  we both played tennis at westlake tennis and swim club.  it was around that time that i was getting diagnosed with TS and when i learned that he had it as well, we both became more comfortable around each other.  having a fellow friend who has TS is great because he understands what things i'm going through.  tics are only the tip of the iceburg -- the mental and emotional side of TS is something that isn't talked about very often, but it is about 90% of the disorder.  


this will be my third summer as a volunteer, and i FINALLY convinced drew that he should apply as well.  i'm super happy to be able to share this experience with a friend who i grew up with, and i hope he gets as much out of it as i do.


these are my campers.  i love them with all my heart.  being a kid is hard enough, but add TS on top of it and it's a very difficult road.  i'm so proud of the them and can't wait to see them.
