You're right, Sean. I've never seen any other community act as we do. We argue, we bicker, we laugh, we share, and we love. It's like we're some kind of family. I wish I would've read this sooner and maybe I would've learned a lot faster. Maybe I wouldn't have been so hard headed or rude to those who tried to help me, and now that I look back I'm surprised those that did try to help me continued to. I was stupid. And yet you all continued to be patient with me and teach me, and it finally got through my thick skull. When you all corrected my spellings and grammar, y'all weren't doing it just to annoy me or to change me, y'all were trying to help me so that maybe I would be included and not some annoying little newbie. I've considered leaving the site for good a lot lately because I know that so many people consider me _still_ just an annoyying newbie. They don't know how much I want to thank them for helping me because I have grown. I'm not that same iggnorant, bull-headed girl I was when I first came to the site. I thought I knew everything. And when I discovered I still had more to learn, I refused y'alls help, but y'all didn't give up on me. Y'all still haven't. I used to never correct myself, thought it wasn't neccasary. But now, even as I type this, I'm capitalizing letters, adding punctuation marks, and correcting spelling :). I realize how important it is and people pay attention to what you have to say more when you use propper grammar than when you use bad grammar. I haven't had very many experiences in the Young Wizards site because I haven't been there enough to make them, but I will say this: I have lost close friends and gained even closer ones. I have been in (and started) many fights and gained a few enemies. I have learned from my mistakes and others, and I would not be the same young lady I am today if it wasn't for y'alls patience with me. Remember when I called myself "wise"? Now, I can't help but look back and laugh at myself. I wasn't wise. I was sooo stupid. And I'm sorry for all the times I misunderstood when you and others were only trying to help me.
Thanks
W.I.T.
