There's nothing that can make this transition any easier than the love and support I know I have here at home. Family, friends, boyfriend, etc...I seem to be blessed beyond measure in this area.
I leave knowing that, while there will be many challenges (both good and bad) in my future, there are going to be many good things coming. I leave knowing that I can come back at any time. I leave knowing that I can call a number of people at any time of day and have their ear to listen, their confidence, their support, and their love. I leave knowing that I have a type of family that some never see, and for that I am so grateful. I leave knowing that I have some of the most amazing people and friends in my life who continue to support and encourage me on a daily basis; for that I will be forever grateful. I leave knowing that God is going to do some amazing things in my life over the next three years that I will spend studying at Duke University. I leave knowing that I'll be home in December!! (hah.) I leave knowing that everything is going to be okay!
Your prayers and love to me over the years have been phenomenal and I cannot thank you all for them enough...in face I don't think there are enough words to describe how grateful and thankful I am for the people I have in my life.
I ask that you continue to pray for me as I prepare to begin my journey. I will be leaving after church on August 19th and will drive as far as I can before stopping for sleep, and continuing on to arrive in Durham on August 20th.
Also, please feel free to drop me some snail mail at any time!! (i love it and save ALL OF IT!) My address for this year is:
Corey Tyson
301 Swift Avenue #24
Durham, NC 27705
Love to all,
Corey
Know that I'm one of those people you can call, I'm wishing you all the best, and you're going to do even more fabulous then you already have! I'll definitely be shooting you some snail mail as well. :)
