Maura Wells, University of Alabama

“Cherish every moment of high school before it’s gone. Don’t take anything for granted. You’ll have many “lasts” as you approach your final years at vis, so MAKE THEM COUNT!! Reach out to the people you don’t normally talk to and don’t wait until your last year to make new connections. Finally, be kind to yourself. Learn to love yourself, and everything will fall into place.”

To my juniors (Maya, Soph, Beth, Ceed, and Skybug): Thank you all for being the sunshine in my life. You all have given me friendships I will forever be grateful for. Even though I will be 858 miles away in just a few months, not one day will go by where I don’t miss you all. Enjoy your senior year. Time flies by so fast, and it’ll all be over before you know it. Make the most of the time you have together and remember to always be there for each other no matter what. Come visit me sometime at bama 🙂

I love you all with my whole heart <3
