To my organization,

When I came to college, I had no idea where I would fit in...or if I would fit in at all. In high school, I did clubs that don't transfer well to college, like yearbook and Students Against Destructive Decisions. These are things that just aren't done in most colleges, especially not East Stroudsburg University. So when I met a handful of you all in the University Center, I never thought anything would come out of it.

Fast forward two weeks, I was in. I was so excited to be elected to Student Senate, even though I had no idea what to expect.

Fast forward almost two whole semesters, I am literally so blessed to be a part of this organization. It is a huge family with even bigger goals and I firmly believe that.

So thank you to my org. Thank you for always being a listening ear. Thank you for always providing a good laugh. Thank you for never leaving me without lunch plans. Thank you for your unwavering support. Thank you for welcoming me with open arms. Thank you for encouraging me to grow. Thank you for the positivity. Thank you for giving me a family away from my family.

I am so proud to be a part of such an involved Student Senate. I know that it has opened so many doors and opportunities for me in two short semesters and I can't wait to see what this organization does for me in the future. Not to mention what I can do for it!

Sometimes I find myself wishing that I had come to school earlier, even though that was impossible because I graduated in June 2015 from high school. So many awesome seniors are graduating in less than a month and it is surreal. I wish them luck in their future endeavors, hoping that they don't forget about the students that they are leaving behind.

So for the rest of the semester, may there be shenanigans that we will never forget. Thank you to Student Senate for making my year unforgettable and giving me a place to find my second family. Thank you for giving me another reason to come back next year. May you all have a blessed summer.

With lots of love, laughter, and well wishes,

Hannah
