With Thanksgiving just ending, I want to write a thank you letter to everyone who has supported me these past years. Everyone knows that college and high school years are some of the toughest years we face during adulthood. We are trying to find ourselves and it becomes tough during hard times. There are too many names to name in this article, but you guys know who you are.

I would like to start off by saying thank you to those who have stuck by me during the first few years of high school. During these years I had learned of my anxiety, and suffered terribly for two years. I was not myself but you guys saw through that. So for that, thank you. It means the world to me that you saw beyond my mental illness, and did not judge me. And it means the world to me that you guys helped me through this tough time, standing by me through it all.

I would like to thank my family. Even extended family. We may not see each other often, but during times of need we are all there for each other. I cannot thank you guys enough for the support you have shown not only me, but my whole family during this tough time. We appreciate it more than you guys know.

I'd like to thank those who are there for me right now. With the election passing I have lost some friends, but for those who have stuck by me, thank you. I cannot thank you guys enough for seeing past my vote and helping me out during my time of need. Thank you for being there through this whole process of my mom being diagnosed with breast cancer. It has been one of the hardest things yet. And you guys seeing past everything and just being there is all I could ever ask for. I've needed all the support I can get and I appreciate you guys just being there.

Lastly, I'd like to thank those who were there for me but no longer are. We may have drifted away or may not be friends anymore, but you guys gave me support when I needed it and were important to me at the time. I am not bitter, but I do want you to know that when you supported me during our friendship, I appreciated it. It meant a lot.
