Ms. Teri Gussom
Thank You CAFÉ For Everything!!
I am anxiously preparing to leave from home and move to my new residence at Ferrum College in Ferrum, Va. for the next 4 years where I will major in English to pursue a career in creative writing. Ferrum is a beautiful, scenic small private college (1,200 enrollments) located in the blue ridge mountains of Virginia. As I leave CAFE, I’d like to share with you my thoughts on what this school has meant to me, and what it means to me now.
