Dear Homecoming, 

 

Thank you for moments like these…

filing our night with the friends we see and the new friends we are destined to meet.

Thank you for the laughs you bring and the voices many voices that sing 

to the top of their lungs.

 

Thank you for the food that fills

and the drinks that spill,

and thankfully for the drinks that don’t.

 

Thank you for the photos.

 

Thank you for extending and enlarging our homes away from home and creating moments like this.

 

Thank you Homecoming for continuing stories that are still unraveling…

 

Dear friends,

Homecoming is a time for us all to live our lives and enjoy the best of our youth. It is moments like homecoming that add to our lives and have the greatest potential to brighten that of others. Take the opportunity to use homecoming and many other events to your advantage by adding them to your rolodex of memories and precious time.

WesCo '20

Like sun rays that shine through falling water, projecting iridescent rainbows that seem to fall endlessly beyond the eye, one may be just as amazed by the sight of a particular token of the Earth. That token does not resemble that of iridescent rainbows or twinkle like dark, rich, and red rubies, but instead it casts upon the onlooker an interwoven palette of oranges, yellows, honeys, and gold that tends to illuminate even amid darkness. I am named after that token of the Earth, I am fossilized resin, I am Amber. However, contrary to what some may think about me, I am not static nor fixed, especially in a particular place. Instead, I am ever changing and always in search of new opportunities, new connections, new places to go, people to see, ultimately, new life experiences. I was born and raised in Macon, Georgia where I have grown to love the close-knit communities and new communities that have allowed me to expand beyond who I was yesterday. I have a tremendous network of friends, a pretty decent mall at my disposal, and an adorable Yorkshire Terrier by the name of Lukie Skywalker, that has filled my heart and many others. I adore and treasure my mornings which are generally filled with a cup of coffee, family conversations, and the gifts of a new day. Additionally, a general day for me is composed of school work, stomach grabbing laughs with friends, running when I find the time, a pinch of sewing, and a sprinkle of discovering something new, whether that be new knowledge, a new eatery, or simply a new experience unlike something of my own. And now that I have finally gained the courage to construct and compose this biography, I would just like to note that it has no way of entailing every little aspect of who I am or my life experience but it does a fairly nice job as an introduction. Hi, I am Amber Walton.
