TEEN –September 2016

So long, farewell...

To my dear teens, I will cherish every single moment we’ve shared for the last 3.5 years together. I hope you know how important you’ve been to me. You gave me a reason to come to work every day. I will miss you all terribly, but will carry you all in my heart for the rest of my life. I hope that you always remember how special you are, and how important you are to this world. Don’t let anything, or anyone (even yourself), stop you from your dreams. Go after the life that you want to live with everything you have inside you. I wish you all the best of luck in everything that you do, and may you experience every happiness this life has to offer! All my love, Shelly (a.k.a. Your fearless leader)
