Hey Guys!

So the mass was a success.. got some positive feedback. I know for sure that a lot of the girls really appreciated their part in the mass and definitely want to do more (or all) of the masses at DLS from now on…lol.

I just want to mention that being a part of API has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Before I joined API, I was basically a wreck — I was dealing with a lot of emotional problems and was socially uncomfortable. I am beyond thankful that I have a place to look forward to in the day, after the unseen and hidden loneliness I often felt. I feel more motivated to show up, I’m starting to feel even more positive about school. API has been a great escape for me. I know this ties back to my experience with API last year, but all I’ll ever take back from my years as a Sophomore, and possibly a Junior (and hopefully as a Senior as well), are the memories I made with API and the few people I’ve met along the way.

I know this is the beginning of API for this year, and the mass was a great kick-off, but I’m really glad to hear the excitement for the upcoming year. I know with your support we can make this an awesome year. :)

Just a small thank you.. wow it feels like I’m saying goodbye or something, but it’s only the beginning lol.
