Hey everyone!
For those who don't know me, I am Rila. I am from the small country of New Zealand and I joined sometime in 2017 as the user rilakkuma. I got the privilege to help serve the community as a Penguin Watch Captain and a Moderator!
At the end of January, I will be leaving the community as this year is a fresh new start and I am going to put all my focus on real life, to succeed in my school work while connecting more with people in real life.
These last few years have been amazing; they have helped me become the person I am today. It has been so cool meeting different people from different countries.
Today, I want to thank everyone in the community; you've all made my experience awesome!

The last couple of weeks, everyone has been making their own cute posts about their 2018 shout outs and stuff! I am going to attempt to do a 2018 and 2017 shout outs post LOL BUT I SUCK AT REMEMBERING, I apologize if I missed you - please tell me!!
Here's to the people who made my journey amazing! ( In no particular order )
