my reason, always.
I wish I had something inspirational or ground-breaking to say but I don't. Instead, I am filled with so much gratefulness and want to thank the people who played key roles in helping me achieve one of my educational goals:
Gabriel and Aiden: you'll always be my reasons and my forever cheerleaders
Gail (a.k.a. MOM & NANA): you'll always be mine <3
Crissy O.: #1 hypeman. So much <3 because you never let me feel alone.
Tagi Q., M.K., and Kate D.: I'm so grateful you let me surround myself with your support and the safe spaces you create.
Casey: All the ways you support me and go against the currents.
My parents & siblings: this year was tough. I'm grateful for the ones who are still here (RIP "Pogi")
Grams Anduha: you were right! <3
Share the Aloha!
