My philosophy professor asked my class to answer this question on the last day before finals. I began writing, and couldn't stop.
I wrote, "I'm capable of doing more if I put my mind to it. If I push myself, I'm able to do unreliable, positive, helpful things. This semester, in general, helped me to open up, be even more outgoing, and free myself from any restrictions I may think I have. I'm doing amazing things with The Princess Project by helping people and changing children's lives. I'm beginning to love myself more than I ever have and I absolutely love the feeling.
I have my friends, family, and boyfriend to thank for helping me grow so much over the course of a couple months. I'm more confident, happy and feeling more successful and rich in what I already have. I've been doing amazing things with my writing and I'm getting nothing but 110% support from everyone.
I have an amazing new family and friends in The Princess Project. I've learned so much from these ladies and gentlemen this semester. I've always wanted to be apart of something that helps and inspires people. It's the most amazing feeling in the entire world. I can't wait to change more lives when I visit dressed up as Alice in Wonderland. I can't wait to see the same look that kids give Elsa, Ana, Tinkerbell, Aurora, Rapunzel, Cinderella, and Pocahontas, when they have their jaw to the floor and hands on their cheeks, when they finally get to see Alice.
To my amazing friends outside of The Princess Project, thank you for being my rock, my armor, and my strength every single day. I don't know who I would be without you. Amanda, Liseth, Kait, Sam, and Jenny, thank you for being my number ones at college. You are the most amazing friends anyone could ever ask for. No words can explain how much I love and appreciate you.
Connor, my handsome, thank you for being so supportive of my writing, my personal issues, my school work, and anything else that I may be forgetting. You are my world. I'm so happy to be by your side and for you to be by mine. I'm so proud of you and every single thing that you do. You are my number one, my world, and I love you more than you could ever imagine.
Mom, George & Michael, you are all amazing. You are my anchor and my soul. Thank you for loving me, caring for me, and be there for me no matter what. I don't know what I would do without you.
Thank you every single one of you for helping me grow, change for the better, and accomplish so much. I love you all so much."
