Myself with a little help from God and ISU

During Destination Iowa State which was the weekend before classes started, we wrote letters to ourselves, sort of. Well back then I knew I would need a little encouragement. My letter to myself says simply: "Have fun with your life at school! I hope your classes are swell and you (me) are pursuing your dreams to become a veterinarian. Don't forget to work hard and keep your chin up!" Then there's a smiley face. That couldn't have come at a better time. Thanks me from August 20th, I really needed it right now.

I would like to extend these encouraging words to everyone. Just because you didn't get a letter doesn't mean you shouldn't keep your chin up and smile. You have a beautiful smile.
