Thank you so much to my Literary Maelstrom of CTY. I will be forever grateful that you allowed me to witness your creative gifts. I look forward to all you will bring to life. Go out there, edify the world, unlearn, and be you. And if all else fails, take the advice of Anne Lamott and eat a banana.
