Every year around this time someone ends up posting a similar thread and every year I can't believe the responses it gets. Every year I feel like saying "Thank You" isn't enough and it seems like those are the only words that pop into my mind whenever I see threads like this.
The hours are long, the criticism is harsh and sometimes while juggling school, friends and family, it's downright impossible; but in the end, as I'm filtering through the thousands of messages telling me about the opportunity of a lifetime or more vulgar material that I shant repeat here (don't you love spam?), whenever I happen to hit a single message that tells me about how something I wrote helped even in the slightest way it's all made worth while.
I guess what I'm trying to say, after all is said and done, is the same thing that I've been saying for 5 years now - Thank You.
...and take care
