thank you so much for everyone who has hurt me this year. i learned from you. i am beyond thankful for the many people who have made this year one of my best so far. i think that this year will leave a mark. it will be known as the year i grew up. if you had the chance to meet me at all this year. maybe it was just a friendly "hello" or maybe i gave you a dirty look when i passed by you in the halls or maybe i left you a silly birthday gift on your front porch or perhaps i accidently bit your ankles when we were wresteling :] but every little detail of this past year has been etched into my brain where it will stay. but, if you had the chance to meet me this year, i hope i made an impact, for better or for worse. i hope i was someone you can and will continue to remember. thank you to those who stood up with me until the whee hours of the morning until i finished my ridiculous amendment project. and those who swung on hammocks with me when i cried my eyeballs out. and even to those who "felt me up" on hammocks -_- and those who invited me to a highschool party so i would know what its like. (freaking scary) thank you to anyone who hugged me this year. to those who let me borrow ANYTHING this year, whether it was money or a stick of gum when "my breath was kickin" haha. thank you to the woman who became my second mommy this year. you have done so much for me and for everyone, from transporting us from here to god-knows-where and back again. to asking if we were "JUST flirting?" to helping me with my geometry homework. thank you Mrs. Montoya. i am blessed to have the opportunity to know people like you.
