I’ve worked so closely with this girl, fighting all these battles alongside her. And now that I see her go, I’ve got mixed feelings.
A part of me is uneasy, knowing that she’s got a lot of odds stacked against her. The adults lied. I’m an adult. I didn’t lie to her but for some reason I still feel responsible.
I’m also feeling as though I could have done more… but could I have done more? Or am I just feeling that way because I’m sad that I don’t get to be along side her fierce, beautiful spirit anymore.
Another part of me though, is so, so, SO very proud. To watch her advocate for herself and chase after her dream. To know that she is going to get through all this and more because she is her own motivation, nothing will stop her.
Go ahead, queen. Show the world what you got.
