Follow the direction of your heart, and you’ll always find happiness.

This was the small ounce of wisdom I left with my ECP Seniors at their cap and gown session. Their very last session as an ECP Senior Spokesmodel. I knew this day would come, and that it would be a sad day for me. But I don’t believe in goodbyes, only see you laters. Because friends never truly say goodbye.

These girls have been such a blessing to me in so many ways this last year. From their very first session in a greenhouse in the middle of a parking lot until their final session in their caps and gowns. They trusted me with a brand new senior experience, and so did their parents.

And man, am I glad they did. These last 365 days have been filled with some of the most joyful memories during their sessions and the in between. I know they’ve made friendships to last a lifetime, and I’ve been blessed just to get to know all of these incredible young women. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: These women are going to change the world.

They went home with a final gift from me. An Alex and Ani bracelet with a compass charm. To remind them anytime they see it, to follow their hearts and go confidently in the direction of their dreams. Who knows, they may just go to nursing school and become a photographer someday. 🙂
