Thank you for my childhood,

You helped me believe in the impossible.

Thank you J.K. Rowling for creating such a magical place to call home.

Thank you for helping me make friends,

For teaching me how to find light in the darkest of times.

Before I read Harry Potter I was insecure, shy and vulnerable.

You taught me to embrace my flaws, my quirks, myself.

You took me on an incredible adventure.

We defended the Stone,

We found the Chamber,

We rescued the Prisoner,

We were chosen by the Goblet,

We learned from the Prince,

And we mastered the Hallows.

I say we because, I was there fighting alongside.

Laughing,

Crying.

I learned about friendship and family that I know I wouldn’t learn here.

I learned about sacrifice.

I learned about taking responsibility with my actions.

I learned that it’s okay to be weird, shy, and awkward.

Thank you for making the impossible, possible.

Thank you for making me believe,

Thank you for making me happy,

Thank you, for making me, me.
