It has been 4 years and 180 articles later and it is time to put down my Odyssey pen. Odyssey has been such an amazing community and writing platform. I have gained friendships that I will cherish forever. I have also gained a platform to be able to give myself a voice and grow in my writing skills.

When I first found out about and joined Odyssey the summer before my sophomore year of college, I had no idea how important this company would become to me. I have truly grown as a writer and have been able to write about what I want. I am truly so thankful to my GCU Odyssey family for being able to bring me on and help me grow and then join leadership throughout my time. I have learned so much and I will forever be thankful for my time with Odyssey.

I have loved being able to write for a platform that lets me write about pretty much anything I want. I have taken articles from Christmas fiction stories to opinion pieces, and even to funny listicles. I have been able to write so many things and have expanded my writing skills and that would not have been possible without Odyssey.

Not only has it improved my writing skills, but it has given me so many wonderful people that I am blessed to call my friends. From former leadership to current writers, I have loved the close friendships I have made over the years. There is a special bond that forms when you are writing alongside other people, especially if your writing is vulnerable. Being able to truly show your real self to others through what you write is such a special thing. And then to have those people love and support you through all of that is such a wonderful blessing.

I will always remember all my time at Odyssey, it was truly one of the best decisions I ever made to join this community. I cannot say anything but wonderful things about this company. I have truly loved every article, every publication, every team meeting, and coffee conversations. If you want to write, but are scared to run a blog by yourself, get connected to Odyssey, you will have such an amazing time and community surrounding you.

I know it seems like I am repeating myself, but I am seriously so thankful for all that Odyssey has done for me over the years. I want to be a writer, so having a platform where I could go and write all sorts of different articles was so amazing. It even let me try out my fantasy writing and see how well it was reacted to. I will forever be grateful to all of Odyssey, but especially my own GCU Odyssey community. I have learned so much from you all over the years and have been able to help lead and train others to be able to write what they want on this amazing platform.

I love you all so much and you will forever be in my heart and my life. This is my final article and I will miss this, but I will never forget my time with Odyssey. Signing off for the last time and putting down my Odyssey pen. See you all later!

Love,

Megan Weber
