I started writing for Odyssey over 2 years ago. 10 months ago, I became the EIC for the University of South Florida's community. I've written 104 articles (including this one) and reached thousands of people.

I first became aware of Odyssey through my academic advisor. He told me it would be a great way to write and show people my voice. He was right.

It's bittersweet to be leaving Odyssey after graduating college. This was one of the first community's I was a part of at USF, and I've met really great people along the way.

So, everyone at Odyssey, I want to thank you. You've taught me a new way of writing, a new way of friendship, and a new way of communicating. Thank you for teaching me how to write for a specific audience/platform. Thank you for helping me reach thousands of people.

Thank you for giving me a voice.

There are thousands of writers for Odyssey, and I know every single one of them is as appreciative as I am.

For those who want to write for Odyssey, apply. I know you think our articles are awesome, and you could be writing them, too.

Lastly, thank you Odyssey, for helping me see my goal in life - being an EIC was the first step to attaining that goal.

I could go on and on about what Odyssey has done for me, but I'll leave it at this: Thank you for being a part of my journey.
