Readers, it has been a ride.

Next semester I will be moving on to a new college and spreading the good word of freedom to a new audience. But have no fear; I will share everything we have learned together in our crusade for patriotism.

We have truly explored what America is these past three years. We have discussed jumbo jets, Morgan Freeman, monster trucks and everything in between. It has been a gloriously patriotic ride, but like “Three’s Company,” it must come to an end.

It has been a special experience studying here at Meramec and working at The Montage. I have grown immensely as a person and a writer and would not have had half of the opportunities I had on this campus if I had gone anywhere else.

Although I am leaving in a time of uncertainty for Meramec, STLCC and with what majors you might want to go into, I hope that I can instill with you one last lesson; that you take pride in Meramec for everything that it gives to its students. There is a strong community here who cares about you and your future.

So, while this will be the final America Kicks Ass, it does not have to end here. Get out there in your American flag pants and make a difference on our campus. Stand up, speak up, share what you are feeling and give a damn about Meramec, because it gives a damn about you.

Because at the end of the day… Meramec kicks some serious ass too.
