A letter from Apr 28, 2026

Dear FutureMe, Well, that's a wrap for the first year of Grad School! This semester, you really made the effort to hunker down, be mindful, work smarter (not just harder), and most opportunity, save your focus on what matters and what will help you reach your full potential. No woman is an island, and you went out of the way to reach out support from your support system, and learned how to plan ahead of time. I learned that I am a great educator who has a lot to bring to the table. Not just academic- you'll always have a speacial place in your heart for your roommates Sanjana and Yun, the adventures you went on with them, the late nights you spent talking and spilling your secrets, and finally having the social connection that you craved so much. Remember to value your friends, since they'll always have a positive impact and lead to you growing as a person. Warmly, Chrissy Henesy 4/28/2026
