Four years Riy Walker...FOUR YEARS! And over those four years, it’s been a pleasure to watch you grow as a writer and as a person. It’s also been great to have you as part of the group all that time; your personality has added so much to the group and what it’s all about. Keep being who you are don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Good luck to you Riy and keep in touch, OK? It’s never “goodbye” for me, but “see you soon.” - Mr. Brown

“Hi Riy! I have loved getting to know you this year. From the very first day when we were paired together to get to know one another, I could tell you are an inspiring, driven person, and I can’t wait to see what you do in the future and how you’ll impact the world. Thank you for everything you have done for this class the past four years - we will miss you! Good luck!!!” Love, Ellie

“Heyyyyy! Riy, firstly I want to say how truly blessed I feel to have crossed paths with you in this life. I know we haven’t really talked much over the course of this year, but there is just something about you that radiates positivist. Your car vlogs truly spoke to me throughout this year, and I’m sure I’m not the only person who feels this way. Since your time at The Voice, you have truly become a staple in our staff and your presence will 100% be missed. I wish you everything good in life as you move forward to this next journey. You deserve the world.” Much love, Kate <3
