I can’t believe it’s happening! A dream I had back in July that I never thought would come true is finally coming true! I leave on Thursday for The World Race! The hardest part is coming up though. Saying goodbye.
I just want to take a moment to thank everyone who has helped me get this far.
First I want to start off with everyone who donated money, clothes, or has prayed for me. Without any of you I would not be leaving on Thursday! You guys are such incredible people and I know God blessed me by adding you into my life.
Next I would like to thank the staff at Greenfield Junior high. I have learned so much working at Greenfield. I have made friends and memories that I will never forget. It’s at Greenfield that I found my passion for working with kids. It’s at Greenfield that I found my birthday twin. Memories I will never forget.
Next I would like to thank the choir at my church. All of you helped me grow in my spiritual journey. You helped me find my love for music again. You took me in and showed me the ropes. I will always remember grabbing coffee, eating Joe’s bbq, and walking down the road in all black like a funeral procession.
Next i would like to thank my 3 best friends in the entire world Haley, Jess, and Elena. Without you there I would not be standing here. You three have been there through the best and worst of times. You have supported me through every crazy adventure I have ever have. Through every disney movie, every pizza run, every taylors swift C.D. They are memories I will never forget.
Last but not least I want to thank my family. I dont know where I would be without you guys today. You have been my backbone when I didnt have one, a friend when I needed one, or just someone to see a movie with. The hardest part about going is leaving you behind. I may not always show it but I love you to the moon and back. I will miss sitting around arguing where were eating. Or watching Hannah pull pranks on Dad. I will definitely miss watching the dogs do the weirdest things. Most of all I will miss your hugs.
Thank you again to all who have supported me on this journey. You are such amazing people and have helped me grow in so many ways. As Winnie the Pooh once said “How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
