| Me, Marisa and Ali |
I'm not really sure when I can to realize it. It might have been Week 3 after I wrote “Ohana”, it might have been during all the bus rides I've taken over the last month-month and a half, but I've had what I guess you'd call an epiphany.
We make our own families.
We all have our families back home. Some of us just have one parent, some both biological, and a lot of people in the program come from families with step-parent(s) as well. Some of us are only children, some have one or two siblings, some five or six, and some have enough full, half, and step-siblings to rival the Duggar family.
Prep kind of transcends that, and we become our own family. So, since thanksgivings coming up, I guess this year, I'm thankful for prep, for giving me the chance to leave Elmira.
