You started on this journey because you wanted to make a difference and every day you are doing it. From your smile, to your open attitude, to your willingness to learn new things, to stepping out of your comfort zone to grow. You have laughed, you have cried, but most of all you have changed.
When you look back at the beginning, I hope you see the person you used to be and that you never forget where you came from. It has made you who you are today and will continue to be integral in who you become.
I hope you surprise yourself. I hope you do more than you ever thought possible. I hope you continue to make yourself uncomfortable and step into places that challenge you, that you make space for yourself in this world, while you continue to make space for others. And if you ever, ever begin to doubt yourself, remember that I believe in you and I love you.
You can do this.
