To those who told me I could do it:

Thank you for all of your phone calls, Facebook well-wishes and Skype messages. It was a rough time, you may not know how rough but your support did guide me through it. I did not and I still don’t understand what it is that you think I can do. Moreover, I really don’t know how I did it but somehow we got over that speed bump together. I’m saying we because, like "High School Musical," we were, and still are, all in this together. You may not have known the roles that you all played, but I am letting you know that you somehow played them harmoniously, almost like you were working on the same wavelength.

Where one left off, another continued the job until I had a constant stream of support coming at me in all directions. Although I’m not sure what it is that I am capable of doing and even now on this new phase of life, I am still confused at how I am doing it, I at least know and appreciate that I have all of you there. None of your well wishes go unnoticed, and even though I may miss certain calls or sleep through some messages, I really do appreciate all of them. You don’t understand how much they make my day.

There are a lot of times when I don’t believe in myself and seriously doubt my ability “to do it” because I’m not even sure how I’m going to get it done in the first place, but somehow, it works out, and I’m pretty sure you guys are a huge part of any successes that I’ve had. Maya Angelou was really onto something when she said “nobody, but nobody, can make it out here alone.” I can tell you without a doubt in my mind that it is true.

Whatever I have accomplished so far in my life is because of you. Without your guidance and constant encouragement I really don’t know where I’d be. It’s harder to give up when you have people counting on you and your success. You are the best source of motivation because you all are the most important people in my life. You inspire me in ways that you don’t even understand, and you lead by example. Thank you for never giving up on me and always believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself. So, keep those calls coming, and even when I don’t answer, please know that I do appreciate and need them. I may not know what it is that I can do, but I do know that I would not be able to do it without all of you.
