Yay Tootie!!
ReActors. I honestly cannot tell you how much this experience has meant to me. People who haven't been involved in it may read this and scoff. I don't think they'll ever be able to understand the bonds we've formed over the years.
I came into it a timid, scared freshman. How amazing it was to find a group of ten people who let you be yourself at such a critical part of life. Without ReActors, who knows where I would be now.
I can't believe that I never would have met so many of you if it wasn't for this.
Mary, Jess, Matt, Lia, Emma...even Doug and Greg and Sean...I know I wouldn't be as close to them if it weren't for ReActors.
And Andrea. She is such an inspiration. She is like an older sister, a best friend and a guidance counselor all rolled into one amazing, talented person.
SiLLyFacE1037: hush little jill now dont you cry. erO's gonna make you reactor pie . . .
Haha. See. That's what I'm talking about.
Everyone in ReActors is so amazingly special in their own way. To be a part of that, to feel accepted, to finally feel able to be yourself. That is something not many people are ever able to find. I'm so thankful for all the time I've had with you. You don't know how much you've changed me.
And now, without further adieu (or ado, either or), the pictures, the real reason you're reading this entry...
