#20 My time here has been a wonderful experience. It’s true that we’re saying goodbye today. However, the memories we made here will help me think of today as a beginning, rather than an ending. I wish to thank you for the good times and bad, as they’ve both lent their lessons to the bigger picture. Farewell.
