Convictions, like waves

Posted on July 13, 2012 by teamnewhampshire

Written by Olivia Cook, Media Coordinator, Team New Hampshire It’s that same, familiar feeling. My heart starts beating at an awkward, too-fast, going-to-trip-over-itself pace, my face starts burning and my hands are strangely moist. I have to swallow a few … Continue reading →
