“So, I think it’s safe to say that I’ve really messed up. And I apologize profusely. But I’m also so grateful to you all. I tried really hard to get out of this school, and only now do I realize just how much I want to stay. I’ve learned so much being here. Being with all of you. And in some ways, being with my mom, who I found out was actually a student here. I’ve had a hole in my heart for five years and somehow being here, it slowly started to heal. I know I may have looked like a California girl but in my heart, I’ve discovered that I really am an Abbey Mount girl.”
