honestly i dont know where to begin. this is the first online community ive ever been a part of. in fact most of my current gaming life revolves on things ive learned here. things like attitude, learning, and just over all doing your best.

i know most peolpe say how much this place means to them. almost to the point where it becomes cliche. but man this place changed my life. i look at things differently now. i see good out there in the world. you guys know the feeling. its a calm and serine feel. its relxing and helps you take on the day.

this place is a haven for most of us. its where we go for "me" time. its where most of us unwind. thats not the only thing that draws me here though. no what brings me here is friendship. the friendship i have with the people here is stronger then i have with most family memebers. in fact i consider most here to be "family". becuase we are there for each other even if we live miles and miles away. we consult when others are down. we joke when others need a laugh. we have faith when others loose hope. and that is my point of this post.my friends had faith in me while i did not.

ive never seen myself as having skill in this game. honestly ive never thought ive had skill in any game. ive always seen myself as sort of a causul gamer. just playing for fun and relaxation. im not saying that i didnt want to learn, just that i felt i didnt have the skill to show what ive learned. i was almost reluctant to take on being a knight. i felt that i didnt even nearly enough skill (i still dont think im that great). but i decided that its about time i did something to help out here and i owed it to my friends to at least try. so i trained and trained. i didnt really know what i was doing but i tried and gave it my best. after i failed the trail first i trained even harder during these past two weeks. i gave it my best and thats all i could give. and well...here i am.

i couldnt have done it with out you guys though. i consider you all great friends. you had faith in me and saw something that i did not. even with my life being as stressful as it is right now you guys helped me atain my potential. i trained hard and give it everything i had not just for myself, but for my friends AND for the academy. i just want to do everything i can to help here and to continue to make this place the best community in the universe.

to my friends old and new i thank you for everything. i dont usually say this since i find it kinda cliche but......

May the Force Be With You......Always
