Thank you for bringing endless smiles and laughter to my beautiful sister. Thank you for giving my family memories that will truly last us a lifetime.

Thank you for bringing a light back to her eyes.

I can't thank you enough for everything your organization has done for my family, especially my sister.

This past year has been extremely rough on her, from hospitalizations to surgeries. It's a lot for a person to go through, let alone a kid.

She has persevered through the worst of it. To have this trip to Disney was the absolute best for her in every way possible.

Disney and Universal Studios went above and beyond in making sure she felt special. They let her go in Fastpass lanes and even to the front of lines on certain attractions.

Characters at the park treated her just like a princess, taking as many pictures as she wanted and spending time talking to her.

We stayed at Give Kids The World Village and every volunteer there was so unbelievably kind. Give Kids The World is all about the families not having to lift a finger, and they made sure of that with us.

There was so much love and happiness that poured out of that place, it automatically made Gracie carefree and excited.

It was more than just a wish granted; it was one of her dreams that came true. I can't put into words how much this experience has meant to my little sister.

This was everything she wanted, and more.

Thank you for making my sister forget about all of her problems. Thank you for making her realize that she can truly be happy.

Thank you so much.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
