After many years of having you in my life, I've came to the conclusion that it is time to address some things. I want to start off by thanking you for opening my eyes to the creative side of life and allowing me to express my feelings through film and writing. Sometimes I feel that without you in my life, these things wouldn't come so naturally. But I also get mad at you sometimes because you make my mind wander when I really don't want it to. The amount of times that i've felt knocked down by you can almost out number the times that you made me even stronger. But without those difficult times, I wouldn't be anywhere near the person that sits here writing this today. You've inspired me to not let the little things get in my way of achieving the bigger things in life. I'll never forget the days that you made me feel on top of the world because after hours of tutoring and attempting to learn a concept, we would grasp it and the feeling was like no other. Overall I want to thank you for helping me become the person I am today and aspire to be in the future. Without your constant motivation, I would't know what it was like to overcome barriers and learn how to become the best version of myself.

Thank you.
