Subject: I'm ready for another summer! Wed May 22, 2013 11:51 am
I'll start by apologizing for the unexpected absence. I appreciate all of your patience (those of you who decided to stick around). For those that have left, I understand. For those in exams, we will still be here when you get back. After this upcoming Thursday, I will graduate high school!
After my graduation, I will be attending a Comic Con until Monday and resume my work as a private tutor for an SAT prep course. When that is all over with, I will have to increase my hours for work and be here less than I normally would during a summer (most likely, who knows.)
Its hard for me to say this, so I will say this for the well being of the community. I have decided to attend Stanford University starting in the fall (August 19th is my first day!) I will be double majoring in Cognitive and Developmental Psychology. I will be planning to work part time and work on building a network to give me the opportunity that my entire family never had: earn a Ph.D, let alone a BA. My dream is to one day raise a family and give my children great opportunities that I never had and make their lives easier.
I am sorry to say that this will be my last period of time with all of you. I will be leaving the academy-world. I want to tell you this early before I depart with you on August 17th. I ask that you all take the time to try to evaluate this and do your best to adapt.
Just remember what WDA is. We are WDA. We are a community. The content, the forum, nor the events define us. We define ourselves. Stick with each other. Love one another and carry on.

Five Stages of Grief:
You can skip to Step Five, but it's more fun if you don't.
Step One: Denial and Isolation:
No, you can't leave! You have to stay with us, this academy isn't anything without you! You're not leaving, right?! Right?! You're staying with us, right?! Yeah, that's right, everything will be juuust fine. Wh-Why? Because you're staying with us! W-We don't want to be abandoned by you, and you decided not to! Everything is A-O-K.
Step Two: Anger:
I don't get it! How can you just leave us alone?! You don't care about us at all, do you?! Do you want this academy to crumble?! Everyone here cares about you, and you don't give a damn about that, do you?! You know what, no. You're a terrible person, I just couldn't see it. How can you just leave without coming back?! You've sticked with us for so long, you're the reason we're here! Do you know what will happen if you leave!? Just imagine all of us! Hmph.
Step Three: Bargaining:
You know what, just stay. Please, you can't just leave us! Come on now, I'll actually make the banners! I'll get people to duel! I'll make topics more active, just stay with us! We really can't stand without you, so please just stay! I'll recruit more members! I'll get the staff to do their jobs better, I'll do everything I can, just please please please, stay with us, I'll do anything you ask me to!
Step Four: Depression:
I just can't stand it, World Dueling Academy is going to be without Digi-senpai, it's all going to fall... we can't do anything without you, but fine, if that's how your live has to be, then I won't stop you. Just go already. It's fine, I said. But I'm still going to ignore Dr. Seuss and cry a little.
Step Five: Acceptance:
I guess it's okay, though. Everyone has to leave eventually. Nobody can stay in this academy forever, and this academy can't stay here forever either. We're all moving on with our lives and I'm actually rather happy that you're dealing with your life without any big problems. We won't forget you, Digi-senpai. Besides, you're going to visit us at least a little bit, right? ^^ Digi-senpai's done with high school, and she's moving on to the big leagues! That's my DIgi-senpai, I'm so envious of her~ She works so hard in her life. She studies non-stop, now works non-stop, she spends all/most her free-time helping World Dueling Academy advance to the new level, but we can't leech on her forever, right? It's time we stop leeching. We have to make Digi-senpai proud of what we're doing. Digi-senpai, don't let WDA worry you. We'll be cheering for you! GO GO DIGI-SENPAI!
