Mission Statement. For my mission statement, I chose one of my favourite quotes, "don't cry because its over, smile because it happened." I chose this quote for many reasons, the main one is because of my gramma that past away not to long ago, she was amazing, and meant the world to not just me but my whole family. With that said, her death had a huge influence on all of us. I personally think it was because we would never be able to do the things we use to do with her, for example going to her house on a weekly basis, phone calls, and her just simply her being there when nothing else seemed right. Looking back on my life with her I wouldn't change a single thing. When I am feeling sad and miss her, all I do is think of the great memories, and try not to think of the bad way it ended up because I am very thankful for time I did have.
