Mom and Dad: I low can I ever thaks you two for all that you have done for me? There are no words to
describe how much you mean to me and how much you guys have changed my outlook on life. If it wasn’t
for your warming advice, your constant trust, your freedom to me and the abundance of love that 1 received
from you, I would have never made it through these tough years. From the times of depression to the times
when I have never been happier, you both have seen me through it all. When my worries and problems were
so redundant that even I was sick of dealing with them, you two never showed any signs of annoyance over
hearing them for that "one last time". 1 always felt thal 1 had somewhere to turn to when I was excited,
happy, annoyed, angry, upset, or when 1 just wanted a friend to talk to. The best advice I ever received came
from one or both of you. Home is my favorite place to be because I feel so secure when I am thre. Thank
you for always being there for me and always giving me a place to turn to. I love you two so much. 1 hope
that 1 will be able to make it in college without you guys right by my side to guide me! Thanks for
everything. I will think of you always. I love you Both! Kristy and Kile: Thank you two for everything. For
always being ready to lend a helping hand. Kris, I am so sorry for all of those years that we have spent at
each'other's throats. We could nave spent all of that time bonding with eachother. Thank you for your great
advice, and thank you for never hitting me back! I guess we’ll just have to call it even from all the times you
tortured me when 1 was too young to hold my own. Elley. way to similar to Kelly to be screamed in the same
house! Thank you for joining our family. I don’t know what I would do whiout you as my other sister. I
know that I am not always an easy person to handle, and I just want to say thank you for you two always
looking past that and putting up with me. My life would not be the same if you two weren't such a big part of
it. Thank you for everything! J‘Wanna get fuzzy and watch a movie?" I love you two so much!
Grandma:Remember when 1 used to come over to your house with Carrie Haines and harrass you? How
can you still love me? We always swore that we would do work, but it never ended up that way. We would
run around and climb on everything, and scream and fight...How did you do it? Grandma, you are the Best. I
love you so much! 1 am going to miss you so much when 1 go away to school, but I will always remember to
come visit you when 1 am down, and I will never forget to make that phone call out of the blue to say hello.
You have been nothing but wonderful to me, and your tolerance whenever you come to stay is unbelievable.
I am sure I have driven close to a few heart attacks with my screaming and coming home late, but always
know that I never meant to scare you or be rude in any way. You are such an important part of my life and 1
don’t know what I would do without you. I love you with all of my heart! My Closest friends: 1 have sat
down on numerous occasions this year and I have written and re-written this’thing so many times that I
developed a complete writing block against what I orginally wanted to say. I guess what it all comes down to
is "thank you.” I thought "thank you” was appropriate becasue without you guys by iny side I would never
have never made it through this tough adoslescent stage that we must all go through. Over the years 1 have
watched how certain people become friends with people until the lime ofconveniency is up. and then they
move on to a new group. To me that would seem to be the most difficult thing to ever do, yet still 1 watch
and observe how it is an everyday habit for some. "Thank you" comes fromyou guys never wauling to split
up. From you guys never giving up on me or any of our other close friends. We have all formed this sick
bond that has gotten so tight over the past years that even 1 don’t understand it. We have all branched out, but
in the end it turns out still the same, us as a whole family. We have had our share of rough times with
eachother, but as the years went by I have noticed that we have all grown up to a certain degree of
understanding of eachother. We are all so different.yet we are cut from the exact same mold. We have all
learned to deal with our differences and respect the boundaries of them. The ones who aren't irritable and
stubborn, coping with the ones who are, and the ones who are so focused that they are impossible to reach.
Our different levels or partying and the extent that some of us chose to take them to, and the others who
always seem to have to look out for the one’s who are "down." Through the tears and the laughter, and the
neverending conversations, we have all learned to accept eachother's faults and make the best of them.
Instead of seeing the faults and running away, we all stuck together to form a happy circle in which we can
all deal without being unhappy. So "thank you" guys for so much. For sticking by ine through EVERY­
THING! 1 know it wasn't easy. I am so thankful to have found friends like you. and I hope that we all remain
this way forever throughout our lives. I hope that 1 have taught you all a portion of what you have taught me.
and 1 hope that I was as reliable and dependable as any one of you were to me. You all have changed my life
in every way possible and 1 will never forget that or any of you. You guys are my best friends, who have
become the best part of my life. I am forever change. Ilove each and everyone of you, and I only wish the
best for you in the years to come. KIT. I will miss you guys veiy much and I will think of you as every day
passes. Amy. Hey boyfriend. Chill out on the candy, ok? Thank you for the calender! I am AMAZED by
you! Kasey, we did it! :) Never forget that you have a TWIN! Camila, Camila! 1 am bored. Play with me! By
the way I Tike you better! :) Ryan: what exactly can I write to you? There is so much. 6:31 p.m. You mean
the world to me and I hope that I have finally gotten you to see that. You are an amazing person that I was
more than lucky to come across. Thanks Jesse! 1 am writing this in October, and there is no way for me to
see where both of us will be when theyearbook comes out. Just know that I have always loved you, I love
you now and I will love you forever! From the first day we met, we just sort of clicked in the scariest way. I
felt that 1 had known you forever. We have definitely had our share of problems, but nothing too big to work
out. A little pressure about what’s wrong, and eventually we get there. Sorry for being so stubborn.
Anyways, I am sorry for corrupting you into the weirdo that you are, but I guess you can say we are even
because you have corrupted me too. :) Whenever you knock on your head, or check your teeth please think
of me. I nave no doubt in my mind that we will stay in touch throughout college and be just as close as we
are now. You have made such an impact on my life, and I am so thankful for that. Please let people love you
for who you are. and don't always look for a way to show them differently. You are not as abad as you come
off to be to yourself or to others. You know that I will alwys be here for you so please never hesitate to pick
up the phone or some visit. 1 have had so much fun with you this year going to Emory, and the Bahamas, and
all the trips that we have planned for the future. Who does this? You are the beginning of the end for me! 1
don’t do anything anymore and it’s only October. Anyways, thank you so much for everything that you have
ever done for me. You are the love of my life and my best friend! You have made me so happy in every way,
I just hope I have done the same for you. You have made me feel like a beautiful person and I can never
repay you for that. I hope I was as successful in this relationship as you were with me. You have Forever
changed me! I love you more than you will ever know! Good luck in college. You have your clean slate to
start anew :) Show people the person you showed me. You will always be a part of my life and you will
always be a pan of my thoughts. "No regrets" :) Camila. Camila! Kiss me. Kiss me! By the way, I like you
better! PIG with my parents during Irene...ssshhh! Ambien, or Ambium and staying awake...AMAZING!
That night, that Kiss! Food fetish.Sushi, sushi, and more sushi...how did you put up with that? Why don't
we sleep? I have no answer for that, but 1 love to pull all-nighters and watch the sun rise. And oh yeah. Can
we sit and watch the SATRS...It was you who reminded me, and there was no way that I could pass that one
up :) I Love You! Forever, your Constant. Octover 17, 1999! Mr. Bodfish: "HI" I hope that I will find
another teacher as sweet as you. Thank you for always being so nice to me. I will never forget you, and I will
be sure to come visit you whenever I am in town. Enjoy the Chili cook-offs, but not too much i) Thanks for
not only being a teacher, but a great friend. Mrs. Brogan: Don't worry I would never forget to bake you up
a batch’or brownies. 1 will bring you some whenever I am in town, and maybe I will give you the recipe.
Good luck with your future classes. I will miss you!
