Personal Notes:
Congratulations Margo! I hope that you have a wonderful experience at college with teachers that inspire you and new friends that bring out the best in you. You have so much going for you which means much will be asked of you. As you know, the world is a beautiful and terrible place. So you must choose over and over to live a life not governed by fear or apathy. Instead choose growth and challenge over security and the status quo. Be willing to embrace the dangers/discomforts of your own personal journey and yes, there should be at the least, major discomforts. Don't worry about finding the right answers, instead keep asking questions, just like you did when you were little. I am so excited for you, Margo, and know that you will be in my thoughts everyday. Love you! -Aunt Marsanne
