A letter from Aug 05, 2024

Dear Future Me, This year, I hope to finish up and pass all of my courses without having spared my emotions and sanity. Hopefully, by the time that I read this, I will have been introduced to numerous friends with whom I can spend a lot of my time getting to do fun things and exploring Saint Louis or even the greater Midwestern area. I also wish to have been acquainted with numerous faculty with whom I’ve published a few journals and/or figured out what field I want to get involved in. Along the way, I also hope to have improved a lot of professional characteristics, namely how efficiently and effectively I can use my free time. I’m most proud of having been through all that I have since childhood to get to this point in my life, and I hope that I will be equally or more proud of where I am in 4 years than where I am at now. Best, Leo (from 8/5/24)
