When one door closes another opens. As graduation approaches and my last Otter Realm hits newsstands the only words I can think of are, thank you.
To CSU Monterey Bay (CSUMB) thank you for providing a home for me for the past four years. You became a place where I felt comfortable and myself. I found my niche here. Between the small classes and the friendly atmosphere this was my dream college. The life lessons and life events here have given me the tools to go out into the world and make a difference. Thank you.
To the Otter Realm readers who make all the hard work worth it and made me strive to make the best newspaper, thank you. Our understanding and caring readers make the learning process for the newspaper possible. The constructive criticism and the encouraging words kept us going. I ask that you keep reading the Otter Realm because I know great things are to come. Thank you.
To my professors and the professors at CSUMB, thank you. You have provided knowledge to me that I will carry on for many years. The learning goes beyond just the basic class work. You were more than a teacher but a mentor. Your time and effort has not gone unnoticed. You have made an impression that will never fade. For all you have done for your past, present and current students. Thank you.
To my family and friends, you have been there through the emotional times and the best of times. I am where I am today because of you. My parents have always encouraged me and provided never-ending support. Josh and Amy, my best friends, words cannot describe what you mean to me. We share tears and laughter and together we can do anything. The friends and family of CSUMB students love and support mean the world to us. We have come a long way and it is because of you. Thank you.
As we move on to the next phase in our lives there are those who will always stay with us. My four years at CSUMB will forever stand out in my mind. I have grown and learned so much. I have accomplished great things and failed many times. But because of those around me I have made it through. Thank you.
