Last year, I spent the year away from home, boarding at a place called Howqua, up in the high country. It was without a doubt, the most incredible year of my life. This photo captures, I believe the essence of Howqua. Every time I look at it, I go straight back to that place. I can feel the wind, and that sense of achievement, I can see those surrounding mountains, and even know what they are called, I know that area like the back of my hand! No year has changed me more than that one, and I will never forget it. It's so sad, that only a small group of girls will ever experience this, this life changing year, learning valuable lessons some never get the chance to. I will never forget my year away with my friends, the secrets we shared, the fun we had, the mountains we climbed... I'm going to miss it so much.
