Am I sad to spend 2 months and 3 holidays away from my family?  Yes.But, I know that sometimes you have to do difficult (and sad) things in order to achieve really great memories.  Almost every family is sad when a student graduates from high school and then leaves home for college, but it is a sacrifice toward a great new adventure in the life of the student AND the family they leave behind.  I will miss my family every day that I am on the Oden, but we will all be stronger because of the adventure.
 Take care,
