To all my friends and family,
I want to take this chance to thank you all for everything you have done for me. Without your love and understanding, I wouldn't have been able to make it this far. Your ongoing support was incredible!
Special thanks to:
Grandma - for all the trips to Carsa and the courthouse. Thank you for being understanding about all my screw ups, and believing in me. Also, a great big thanks for that inspirational letter that kept me from breaking down in the courtroom! I will make you proud someday!!
Mom - For some how figuring out that I had been raped, and helping me through everything! I don't know you found out but I thank god that you did. I wouldn't have been able to do it by myself.Love you!
Matt.C & Troy.K - Thank you for convincing me that it was rape, taking me to the clinic, and supporting me through this whole thing, and forgiving me for my HUGE mistakes!
Stephen.G - Thank you for beating Him up, and supporting me and not going nuts yourself. Love you
Larissa.B&Aaron - Thank you for lending me your ears and hearts, I love you both very much!
Melissa.B - Thank you for believing even though your friends don't. Thank you for the many pounds of chocolate we've shared together
Robbie.B - Thank you for believing. I miss you, alot!!
The S.W. clan - Thanks for coming. It meant alot to have you support!
Marg.B - Thank you for believing me and risking your job to support me.
To anyone not on this list who supported me. THANK YOU!!
To the principles and majority of the staff of my old school:
I made it without you. I hope that you will learn from your horrible mistakes and change your policies. You have no right to treat any living human being the way you treated me. I know that one day you will look back at what you did and regret it. I'm sure that something like this will probably sit on your consciences for years to come, and I really hope it does. I just want to make something very clear to you. I was raped. I did nothing wrong. I turned to you for protection, and you walked away. You will not be forgiven!
