I'm Melissa..I'm 20. I just got home from a year of living and working in Australia. I also just got accepted to the Cultural Representative Program at Disneyworld and I will be moving to Orlando for a year in July to represent Canada!! woohooo.

We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.--- Jawaharal Nehru

For what it’s worth, it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit… start whenever you want… you can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that stop you. I hope you feel things that you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life that you’re proud of and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
