Minneapolis. This is the city I willingly left my humid Ozark hills for, escaping from the pain that haunted me. Here, I have learned to love, to forgive, to overcome. I am not the same person I was when I came here. My heart has grown and expanded. I have new passions and desires.
The city skyline no longer intrigues me. It's the people that capture my heart. I will miss my junior highers more than words can describe. I have seen them through a critical point in life, and they have seen me through a critical point in mine.
I have now grown beyond this school and what it has to offer. I have taken the knowledge they instilled in me and am now ready to run. I am leaving with new ideas, new opinions on life, and a new voice.
Thankfully, I am not alone in this new journey. My husband and I will cling to each other these next few months as we explore a new piece of land, get to know a new bunch of faces. But, we are excited, ready to see what is in store for us. This is our adventure.
I am ready.
