12 years of education…

I wouldn’t have gotten to whereever i am today if it wasn’t from the support and love of my parents, my brothers, my friends, and my teachers.

daddy thank you for always challenging and pushing me to do my best. You took me to places I have never dreamed of going, shared your vast knowledge of life, and given your sweat and tears to give your family a reasonable living. You have sacrificed so much for us, and especially for me, whether it was morally or even financially, and there is no way i could ever repay you for this except with my success.

mommy you have always been there for me through the toughest times giving me the warmth and love that i needed. you taught me how to be a strong fighter, yet still strutting like a lady. You helped me wipe my tears after a big fall, you cooked me my favorite italian dish when i craved for it, and took me shopping when i knew you disliked it. You were the one who had faith in me when I myself did not, and I make it one of my life’s target to make you happy.

brian thanks for being there for me, shielding me from the woes and the terrors of the real life. I learned to learn from your experiences, to embrace life as it is, and to unleash my true self from the mask i had worn, hiding my true identity for years. You are not just a brother, but a friend, a confidant, a spiritual teacher, a shrink and a body guard all in one.

kevin i know i have been terrible to you for as long as you remember but do note that i am like that as an act of sisterly love. I love you dearly and you really do brighten up a cloudy day, we sticked together through the darkest times and i am waiting for the day you become a great man.

my friends who are a huge part of my life. Together we laughed, we cried, we fought, but most importantly we experienced life as we should. If it wasn’t for all of you i wouldn’t have lived through normalcy and went through one of the hugest phases of my life. Adolescence. So we drank, we dance, we smoked up, we partied but most importantly we learned together. I love each and everyone of you dearly.

my teachers who somehow still had faith in my rather incompetent brain. Thank you for pushing me to realize my own goals and dreams, and figure out my hidden talents. Thank you for supporting me when my family or friends couldn’t, and thank you for always being equipped with a wide knowledge of academics. 

And so High School has ended and I am about to embark on a new journey of life- College, or more widely known as the real world. I admit that I am terrified and doubting myself each and every day but I know that I can get through it just as I had endured 12 immensely long, excruciating, and eventful years of my life, with the help of all of you.

Love you all.
