Dear The Observer,

Over the past year I have come to know you. I have lived, learned and grown under the umbrella of your care. I fondly reminisce on the time I’ve spent with you; the memories, the moments and the laughs. I once knew a life without you in it, but that day has surely passed. 

I have come to find my place within the large CWU halls, that place is with you, The Observer. Within your embrace, I have settled into my shoes, I have found a comfortable place within my dreams and aspirations. 

With you, I have made so many friends; with whom I’ve shared so many precious moments, moments that I will look back on in the unmarked days ahead. I have been given the gift of a lifetime; inspiration, admiration and never failing fun in the form of my peers.

I will forever be grateful for this time we’ve had together. I have grown to feel comfort in the walls of the newsroom. I feel in place here, I feel as though I belong. In the back, by the large window, in my nice and comfy chair, surrounded by the dedicated, hardworking and indescribably wonderful faces before me, I feel at home.

I feel pride in the things I have created, joy in the people I have come to know and love and sadness for this place I am not ready to leave. This place and these people will always be held dear to my heart, and a part of my heart will forever be theirs to keep. 

The Observer, you will forever be a part of me, a part I am immeasurably proud of. 

Love, 

Megan Foster
