“I sit back and watch in amazement at the inspiring, compassionate, resilient young woman you have become. Not only are you a deep thinker, but you have a huge heart. I have witnessed this through your unmatched devotion to your friends and family. You have shown me your determination to do what is right no matter the consequence or reward, make decisions wise beyond your years, and marveled at your ability to remain humble with your achievements. You are a gifted young woman who runs the race to win, not to beat others. You deliver yourself wholly and honestly to the course in front of you. During the years of watching you become this young lady, I can’t express how incredibly proud I am of all you have accomplished as you navigate through this thing called life.”
