Dear Rosie,

As my first time coordinating an event, you guided me throughout the day which helped relieve my stress. At first, I doubted myself, but this coordinating opportunity gave me encouragement to believe in myself and know that good things come to those who wait, like you've mentioned before. It is truly a blessing to have met you -Anonymous
