Bye Guys! I'm Out!

I'll start off by thanking the three most important beings in my life.

Thank you God for pulling me from my slump, and helping me to understand, and appreciate exactly the young lady I am and look forward to becoming. Mommy and Daddy, Relle loves you. Thanks for being so open and tolerant of me. I love you both despite my tantrums and selfish spurts. Mommy, we have developed a relationship I never expected and I am eternally grateful for it. Your guidance and patience are qualities I want, admire, and hope to instill in my own children one day. Dad, I do appreciate you for more than your checkbook...even though that is a great plus. (smiles)

Carlos, Temeka and Shaunta, I love you all very much. Your support through words, money, WHATEVER have been tremendously helpful during my stay out here in the country. I hope you all find happiness.

Alyssa. You have been a rock for me since I met you that random day in the MSC. I love you girl! Too often you have helped me in situations only you could understand. Thanks for helping me find my angel...yours is waiting for you patiently in Boston girl, don't trip.

To Aida, my roommate who comes through in the clutch. Thanks girl! Yes, you get on my nerves, but YOU GOOD, YOU GOOD! (smiles) You're a great friend to have on any team, especially Taboo.

To my lovely soRHOr Gift. You are a person I'm so glad I met. Thanks for always being there for me no matter what. Don't forget to follow your heart and not what others tell you. You're a mini genius; your options are endless. You'll be in my life forever and I'll constantly remind you!

To E. Leroy Cook. We have way too many memories at this fine institution we call PVAMU. Thanks for being a great friend and roll dog.

Oh Rudd. You know you and I have had our battles throughout this entire semester. All I can say is that I'm happy with the way you've grown. Keep The Panther close to your heart. There's a lot of legacy in those pages you'll be printing every week. You know I'm only a phone call away.

To Jeremy and Robert. I'm out! Both of you have amazing talent and passion for your interest. Just remember, "yall too loud!"

Shayna! Aww girl, I miss you. Thanks for being my ride or die on those trips. You know we have to always meet those locals!

Mr. R. Dot SmiT. You always keep me laughing and full. #Shoutout to the random nights of fun. Keep focused and true to Ronald. I love the way you are.

Mr. Aaron. Thanks for your sporatic viewpoints and education of "unclean foods," but most importantly, thanks for your patience with me and the Rug Doctor.

Jessica and Jazmyne, good luck next year guys! Yay! More estrogen in the office, so yall have got to keep those boys in check.

Ms. Hughes. Thanks so much for your honesty. I appreciate you being tough when I needed you to be. Next time you're in Shreveport make sure you hit me up!

To Mr. Ransom, Orok and Mrs. Nigh. Thanks so much for allowing us to truly exercise our freedom of expression. I know you guys may have thought we were crazy some of those nights.

Mr. Smith. Carlita is leaving the building. I admire your confidence in us as a staff and respect for us as young adults. You are truly a great man.

Dr. Bowers, I appreciate you as a teacher more than you know. Thanks for opening my eyes to all of my possibilities, and to diversity, and fried chicken. I will be keeping in touch!

To my teachers this spring 2010 semester. I apologize! Thanks for being understanding and willing to help me. You all have given me great examples of how to be an excellent teacher.

To my Sigma sisters and beloved Delta Alpha chapter. I personaRHOly believe unless your a blutiful poodle, you're iiiiirrelevant. Love you ladies.
