A Thank You Letter To My Young Life Leader
Sabrina Cuadra

To my Young Life leader,

Wow, I did not even know the amount of time, effort, and money you put into this, and on top of that the amount of prayer as well until I became a leader myself. So I thank you for the endless times I called you, crying because something new and terrible was keeping me down, that you answered.

I thank you for the times you showed up to school for lunch and sat with me and asked me about my day, even on the days I didn't really want to talk to you.

Thank you for the amount of prayer that you prayed over me. I have confidence going through my day knowing that you're my prayer warrior.

Thank you for showing up to campaigners even when I didn't.

Thank you for covering my camp costs even when I didn't want to go to camp but you wanted me there so bad.

Thank you for loving me even when I thought no one could love me.

Thank you for the endless nights of sleep or naps that you gave up for me.

Thank you for always having an open house for me when I needed an escape.

Thank you for the amount of money you spent on me just to hang out with me.

Thank you for the amount of gas you spent on me driving me around everywhere, when I couldn't.

Thank you for pursuing me even when I didn't really want to be pursued by you.

Thank you for asking the tough questions.

Thank you for laughs.

Thank you for pushing me through even though I don't want to keep going.

Thank you for introducing me to Jesus.

Thank you for re-introducing me to Jesus, when I forgot.

Thank you for fixing my eyes on Him during the storm.

Thank you for caring, when it felt like no one else cared.

Thank you for hugs, giggles, late night movies, and baking lemon cupcakes.

Thank you for being my best friend,

Your friend

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
