I’m leaving tonight! When I graduated middle school, a teacher, whom I was close to, gave me a card with a moving quote on the cover. It’s one of the many cards that I’m taking with me to put around my Welsh dorm room. You can never surround yourself with too much love.
The quote was appropriate for the experience of leaving a private middle school and beginning public high school. Now, it applies to leaving the country I grew up in for another.
When you come to the edge
of all the light you know,
and are about to step off
into the darkness of the unknown,
faith is knowing one of two things
will happen: There will be
something solid to stand on
or you will be taught how to fly.
- Barbara J. Winter
