My letter of thanks goes to my older brother Bryce Winkler. I want to say thanks for always being there for me and pushing me to strive to greater lengths and to succeed. Bryce has always been a role model to me and has always pushed me to my limits.

If we were lifting wood he told me that I could get one more piece. At soccer games I could hear him cheering. At my eighth grade track meet when I was coming down the home stretch I heard him screaming and jumping up and down for me.

My brother is the greatest friend too. He’d play games with me and when I got scared as at the age of 4 or 5 he would let me come in his room during the night and sleep in his bed with him.

When we fought he always came up to me and told why he was yelling. When I started to struggle in school he would always be telling me to do my homework and study.

To be truthful, I love my brother! I thank you Bryce for being the best brother anyone could have.
