First off, thank you for being the person who I needed when no one else was there. You took care of me and held me when I would be crying from the stresses of life and didn’t know what to do. You are my rock and I don’t know if I could have gotten through the first semester without you.

I would also like to say how proud I am of how strong of a woman you are. Though I was going through my own tough times, you were pushing through worse. You showed me that even on my worst days I could stand tall because you were standing just as tall. You showed me that I can push through anything, I thank you so much for showing me that I can be strong and independent and that nothing can push me down.

I never had a best friend that had stuck around. Sure, back home I have my five top friends, but they don't know everything that I have told you. I never had the friend who would take pictures and go out with me and hold me up on my bad days. You were just there for everything last semester. I had a sister, someone who laughed at all my dumb decisions without making me feel like a terrible person. You were someone who made every event a good time, but more importantly safe.

I cannot wait to see what the future holds for you! I know you can achieve everything you want and more. Continue to shine in everything that you do. It is okay to be sad sometimes and to feel bad. Just always remember that you are an amazing woman and you are much more than your insecurities. I love you so much, beautiful!
