What A Wonderful World




Throughout my life, I have been surrounded by a group of amazing women, the siblings "God forgot to give me", my friends. They are the people who make me laugh, smile, believe, love, share, care....the list goes on. Much of who I am has grown out of the relationships I share with them, both collectively, and individually.
  • Emma, the eternal optimist, has taught me the value of embracing each and every moment we are given, and to appreciate everything and everyone around me.
  • Kara, who wears her heart on her sleeve, has taught me to exude a passion for life and to be unfraid to express my emotions.
  • From Alyssa, my listening ear and shoulder to lean on, I have learned the significance of striving to make others feel good and comforted.
  • Ashley, the most genuinely caring person I know, has instilled in me the importance of always letting people know how you feel, as you'll never know how many chances you'll have to do so.
  • Thanks to Ally, my oldest and dearest friend, I have learned how to truly be there for others. I have embraced this, through her example, as she has stood by me for years, through thick and thin.
  • It is because of Jenn, who emanates determination and drive, that I find the strength to "keep on keeping on" in the face of adversity.
  • Melissa, though her strength is silent, has been an example for me of courage in it's prime.
  • Sarah, my breath of fresh air, has taught me to "let go," and be confident in the person I am.
