A Letter To My Mom
Iphone

Dear Mom,

As a little girl, I wanted to be you. And here we are years later and I still strive to be who you are. You are my hero. And not because you have always listened to my stupid middle school drama and treated each of them differently, giving new advice. And not because I needed a new outfit and I "promised" to never ask for money again. You are my hero because no matter what I wanted to do, right or wrong, you believed in me. You are my biggest support system. Supporting me in my indecisive decisions, I know had to be difficult but some how you always held it together even if you knew I wasn't making the right decision. And at times I have probably let you down and I know I didn't exactly make you happy all of the time.But you held on to the hope of who you molded me to be and knew I would fix it and figure out how to make the situation I put myself into right. There have, of course, been a thousand times I acted like the world was going to end and you always knew the right things to say.

So thank you for being confident in me. Thank you for being my rock and my shoulder to lean on. Thank you for being my voice of reason, all of the times that I was over dramatic and rambling on you always sent me right back to reality and opened my eyes as to how silly I was being. Thank you for not letting my injuries define who I am although I have fallen down one too many times you always found the ways to motivate me to get on the road to recovery and never give up. Thank you for teaching me to be the bigger person, throughout all of the silly drama and issues faced you always taught me to be the bigger person and for that I am more than thankful. Thank you for always reassuring me that life is going to work out the way it is supposed to because thanks to you I have the worry bug and it will always be your job to remind me that things will be okay When I felt like nobody else understood, you did. On my darkest days you have always guided me to the light again. Not having you around all the time is more difficult than you could imagine but I have made it in this world on my own because of who you made me.

Honestly the more that I am on my own the more I find myself saying "I am becoming my mother," but I can't thank you enough for molding me into a strong and independent woman that I am today. Without you, I couldn't handle the situations life throws my way

I truly am blessed with a beautiful mom inside and out and no matter how old I get I will always find myself striving to be the perfect person that you are

Love, your favorite daughter

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
