She walks to the beat of her own drum. She laughs easily and carries within her an infectious joy. Her senior year has arrived and she is ready to drink it all in. Time with friends, school dances, the endless lasts that will lead to so many firsts. As big, thick storm clouds formed while we were shooting, she wasn’t worried. Rain? Not a problem–rain will make it more fun, she said. She is fully present where she is–not worrying too much about what is ahead and grateful for the lessons of the previous years. This year is hers to fully enjoy–and that is what she will do.
Marissa, congratulations on arriving to your senior year. May it be the best yet. . .
