from Melissa Comiskey, Executive Director of Internship Programming

Baby Boy:

Someday when you’re older and dreaming about who you will become, remember that it’s the journey that counts. And while you are dreaming those big dreams, know that I will be here, dreaming, too.

In my dreams, you are a world explorer, embracing one adventure after the next. Whether it is through study, work, or play, I dream that you take time to enjoy all that this life has to offer.

Seek out the unknown.

Challenge yourself to live outside of your comfort zone and to experience all that is unique and special in this world.

Because that, sweet boy, is where you find yourself.

And if you find that a love for discovery steals you away from the place you call home, know that I will be here. Because home is where your mom is.

"

Challenge yourself to live outside of your comfort zone and to experience all that is unique and special in this world. Because that, sweet boy, is where you find yourself."
