Exaltation is simply not enough to explain my thoughts about Melissa Serrano. No well placed adverb will describe her character or individuality. I came to terms with this after reflecting on countless inconclusive thoughts and pages upon pages of scrawled out paragraphs that have been stroked and scratched out. I've decided to explain my first and lasting impression of Melissa in plain detail.
