So, I’m sitting in my dorm room, finally finding time to read all of the cards and well-wishes from my family and friends. These are but a few of them:
“Hey, Natasha! We are so proud of you. Continue to rise above the stars and sparkle.”
—The Douglas Family.
“Natasha Renee, we are so proud of you. You just keep on doin’ the damn thing!”
—The Fraziers: Chuck, Gina, and Kevin
“Congratulations and best wishes on your college freshman year. Just remember: You’ve got more back-up than reverse all the way out here in Cali
—Frank & Clara Roberts
“Dear Cousin Tasha, they saved the best for last. You’re the last one in our generation to attend college, but you’re the first one in over 50 years to attend Rust—that in itself speaks volumes. Go get ‘em, Girlie, and remember: No pressure!”
—Cousin Candace
“Best wishes and remember that God is on your side.”
—The Takashis
“As you embark on this journey, remember who you are and whose you are. Never forget that The Lord is on your side, and He will always be there. Just trust in Him and depend on Him, and He will guide you safely on your academic journey.”
—Pastor & Mrs. Richardson, and the First Baptist Church
“Little Miss Natasha Stewart, on behalf of the St. Matthew Baptist Church, we wish you nothing but the best in your new journey. Study hard, have fun, and most importantly, trust in The Lord.”
—Pastor & First Lady Clark
“May The Good Lord continue to bless and keep you on this new chapter in your life.”
—Clarence & Mavis Burkalter
“Go get ‘em, Girl! You already know that your Gramma Jewel is proud of you, but guess what—so am I. May you receive all the knowledge that you can obtain, and may you also be fed spiritually; after all, you are in the Bible Belt.
—Mother Thelma J. Davis
It goes without saying, but I have a lot of thank-you cards to make.
Hugs & Kisses,
Natasha
