My beloved Sharks, I am so grateful to have been blessed with a year full of laughter, joy, and fun-filed memories with you all. Serving as your Lieutenant Governor was one of the best experiences ever. It was definitely an unforgettable year, and I wouldn't have traded it for anything else in the entire world. After serving you all, I have learned so many things that not only grew my passion and love for community service, but working with you all has helped develop my character as well as my leadership skills. You all are loving people that made me who I am today. You are all the amazing artists that sculpted me into the leader I became. I have no one else to thank but each and every one of you. Although I was not given the opportunity to further serve you all as District Governor, running for the position was a great experience and it has taught me a lot of life lessons. I want you all to know that a title doesn't define you. You don't need someone, or something, to tell you how great you really are, because you know who you are, and that should be the only opinion that matters. Always pursue for greatest, because there is always room for improvement. You can be better, every day, but don't strive to be great for others, strive to be perfect for yourself. Also do not forget your worth. You is kind, you is smart, you is important. Please do not forget that I love each and every one of you. Make sure you pay your dues next year! Peace, Love, Key Club,
Athena Sok
