Birthday Wishes from the Editor:
Dear Maya,
Though I am terribly sad for not being there on your 20th birthday, I hope
that this magazine can serve as a way to comfort the stressing distance. It
may seem that when I am away I have “fallen off the face of the Earth” but
know that whenever you need me, I will be there. I am just a text, call,
and/or email away…also a three and a half hour car ride if you are really
desperate. We are getting to the age where big life decisions are going to
be made. The distance between us may grow even further, but I am sure
that we will always find a way to stay friends no matter how far that is. So,
I am glad that you have finally broken the teenage title. We have come so
far from when we met in high school. Enjoy the Magazine, and have a
wonderful 20th birthday!
-Jess, 21
