When I first started the Bethel University team, I had no clue what I was doing. I didn't think I was best suited for the Editor In Cheif position because I had no experience whatsoever in writing or editing. However, the course of the last seven months, I have grown as a writer, a leader, an editor, and person. I just wanted to take this time to thank everyone who has made this team what it is. I started it from the ground up and now it is thriving and I could not be more proud of my writers and my contributing editors. They have worked so hard to help me make this a great community to be a part of.

Nevertheless, my time at Bethel has come to an end, and therefore my time as Editor in Cheif is also coming to an end. I leave you in the hands of your new fearless leader, Brianna Shaw. She has been a lifesaver through the entire process, and I think she will make an excellent EIC. I hope I continue to see growth within the community, and one day maybe Odyssey's facebook page will post one of our articles. My advice for all new writers or those considering joining, it will change your life. It will make you think, even when you think you have nothing to say. Odyssey has done so much for me, and I hope it will work miracles for you as well. I hope to continue writing at my new school, and I wish to grow Odyssey all around the country.

So, Au Revoir, Adios, Auf Wiedersehen, and Arrivederci. Keep it real Bethel, and never stop using your voice.
