and don't call me Pammie.

This will be short but it's important for me to say this. Tonight me and Ciara were driving back from Green River after just one of those perfect days. I told her how Price gave me her and Tadd. 

"No Grace, Price gave you nothing. It is a sh*thole of a town. Don't give your pain credit. You gave yourself me and Tadd. You deserve credit. We're not friends with you because we felt sorry for you. You are our friend because you make us happy."

People ask me what I'll miss about Price. 

Truth be told I'll miss none of it.

Because everything I would miss I will carry with me on to the next chapter of my life. The friends, the developing backbone, the writing, strength to face my demons they're coming with me.  

Why do we think that suddenly graduation is this awful goodbye? It's not. It's an academic process. 

So I'm not sad about leaving.I would use the word ecstatic.  I'm happy and confident that I can do this. I've proved to myself that I can do anything because I did the CEU life. It was more than just a two year school and unless you went here, you won't understand. I'm not sure I'll ever have the words to explain it. I do have the words to say that I believe in myself.
