Thank you to the unrecognized women in my life. All of you do so much to help others every day and rarely get the thank you that you deserve.
To my mother: You are my hero. You give so much and hardly ever receive anything in return. You are the kindest, most loyal, giving, and humble woman I know. Thank you for everything your do for me on a daily basis. I can never repay you or fully show you just how much I appreciate you and everything you do.
To my favorite firefighter: You inspire me. You have taught me so much in the short time I’ve known you. You push me to be a better person and give everything I do 110%. You have supported me every day no matter how trivial the task is. Thank you for everything that you do.
To my best friend: You put up with me every moment of every day. You are always just a phone call away when I feel like I am losing my mind. You are stronger than you know and you inspire me to do the same.
To my grandmothers: You are always there when I need you and help me however you can. You selflessly give me opportunities I never would have had the chance to take on without your help.
To my boss: You started your own business and followed your dreams. That is exactly what I want to do, and it has inspired me. You are constantly flexible around my busy schedule and genuinely care for my well-being which is more than I could ever ask for in a boss.
To my “little sister”: Watching you grow has always been a joy to me. You make me want to be a better person and hope to give you the best advice I can. You know me well enough to know when I need a pick me up and care to ask how I am even though we are miles apart. You hold pieces of my heart even though the time we are together is limited.
To my “big sister”: Thank you for always opening your home to me and always making me feel welcome. You offer wise counsel when I need advice. You have always spoken to me based on my level of maturity instead of my actual age which I have always appreciated.
