You came here stubborn, frightened and unpredictable.  Now you are leaving humble, more aware and confident.

You were ready to leave the minute you came.  Now you’re holding back with all your will not ready for what lies ahead.

You made sure you let everyone know that you were the victim of foul play.  Now you smile with compassion when you see those orange and yellow shirts going off to worksheets.

You came with problems that you were sure no one could understand.  Now you are leaving with tools and understandings that no one can question or deny.

You came here craving and allowing those cravings to control you.  Now you are more powerful than others your age and your cravings are controlled by you.

You came here acting like a child.  Now you are leaving with a magical one.

You came here ugly, ejected and denying.  Now you are leaving beautiful, accepting and loved.

Bust most amazing!  When you came here you were humble, aware, confident, ready to face what lays ahead, smiling with tools and understanding no one can deny, more powerful than others your age, beautiful, accepting, and with a magical child hidden deep down inside you.  You came here with all those wonderful things in you - they were always there.

The only difference is, now you have taken down the walls you built around and you’ve been shown all of them.  They were always in you, we didn’t change you.  You just opened up and saw things through different eyes and an open soul.
