With only a few more weeks left of school, the seniors almost out the door. Though some have shared their personal insights as part of our “Senior Speaks” series, they have also written the traditional “Senior Wills” to document memorable moments of the past, bucket lists for plans for the future, and their last testaments for underclassmen of the present. So, without further ado, here are the Senior Wills for the Class of 2013!<\/i><\/p>\n
Short on time? Link yourself to a particular senior with our Senior Index. Or leisurely scroll through them all.<\/p>\n
Agnel Philip<\/a> <\/a> Most Memorable Moments: Bucket List: Last Testament:<\/p>\n To Matthew Pomla and Aaron Victor, I leave you with sophomores from whom you can take food. They will pay back my debt for me.<\/p>\n To Xochitl Menchaca, I will you all the great photographs (especially pinholes) in the world.<\/p>\n To Mason Dearborn, I will you the Acronym Sports section and NFL articles. You have big shoes to fill.<\/p>\n To Sarah Valentine, I will you a co that is almost as good as me and a wonderful LEAD class.<\/p>\n To Hania Sambor, see above.<\/p>\n To Jameson O\u2019Reilly, Sruthi Mothkur, Al-Jalil Gault, and Stephanie Wang, I will you perseverance and luck.<\/p>\n To Dallas Eckman and Kent Gang, I will you wisdom to take LEAD in the direction that will lead (haha, get it) the program to enormous future success.<\/p>\n To William Xu, I will you a soft pillow and comfortable patch of carpet underneath every table in every classroom.<\/p>\n To Anthony Marquez and Stephanie Wang, I will you writers who write as much as I wrote.<\/p>\n To Taylor Herr, I will you, well I\u2019m not sure what I could will you that you don\u2019t already have.<\/p>\n To Suraj Sinha, Kenneth Yun, Paul Wang, Rajiv Patel-O\u2019Conner, JJ Garcia, and everybody else on the tennis team, I will you a State Qualifier next year. Let\u2019s Go!<\/p>\n To Perry Kitipongpatana, I will you a checkerboard.<\/p>\n To Drew Schell, I will you internet.<\/p>\n To Arjun Sarode, I will you the power and confidence to change the world.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a> Most Memorable Moments: Bucket List: Last Testament: Arjun Tambe<\/strong><\/p>\n Johns Hopkins University, Class of 2017<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments:<\/p>\n *Living in 1504. Bucket List: Last Testament:<\/p>\n To Mack Lee, I will you broader horizons. So many things in life matter, and I don\u2019t want you to graduate wishing that you had experienced more during the past three years. Spread yourself out, but not too thinly. Troll around for a bit. Be serious for a bit. Nevertheless, though, after encouraging you to come to IMSA, I am proud of how well you have done here. I will you someone to walk back from 02 with at 10:03. I will you someone to make weird faces at in the hallway. I will you someone to answer your questions about the ACT, school, college, and life. However, I do not will you a new big sibling \u2013 because I\u2019ll always be around if you need me. Just give me a holler. I hope you know that I\u2019m always happy to help.<\/p>\n To Suraj Sinha, I will you someone who respects you for who you really are. You\u2019re funny, intelligent, and surprisingly mature \u2013 don\u2019t be afraid to show it. There are times to mess around, but the serious moments matter much more. And when they come, I hope that it\u2019s for the right reasons. You\u2019ve developed quite a name for yourself \u2013 both on and off the tennis court \u2013 but that reputation never conveys the deeper side of you: the sincere side of you. I will you a great tennis season, filled with aces, pegs, and of course, countless \u201cLet\u2019s go!\u201ds. I\u2019m going to miss you, buddy.<\/p>\n To Aaron Geldner, I will you SMAC. I could not feel better than I do leaving it the hands of someone as dedicated, responsible, and musical as you. Keep it going. Make it better. Let me know how things go next year.<\/p>\n To Tony Gentile, I will you the ability to remind us who you really are. I didn\u2019t see much of you this year \u2013 partially due to the fact that you no longer lived 20 feet away \u2013 but I don\u2019t think that\u2019s the only reason. Maybe I\u2019m wrong, but I feel like you got more out of IMSA in your first year than your second. Find your niche again, and then find your potential.<\/p>\n To Matthew Park, I will you a new workout partner. I will you someone to read over your papers. I will you someone to guide you through your senior year. Lastly, I will you the decision to talk to girls. IMSA exists outside of 04 and 05.<\/p>\n To Pratyush Rustagi, I will you earnestness. Be more serious, and be serious more. I also will you more puns with Mack\u2019s Ackerman, the Mastermind, and the names of your classes. Enjoy your signor year.<\/p>\n To Kevin Li, Kenneth Yun, Kent Gang, and George Harris, I will you 04DDQ, assuming that you get it. In the past two years, I\u2019ve had some great times in those two rooms. And with my RC. I hope you do too.<\/p>\n To Jennifer Hoelzer, Nitya Pariti, and Carissa Lao, I will you coffeehouses to perform at.<\/p>\n To Greg O\u2019Bannon, I will you the knowledge that your last name might be one of the most used words amongst IMSA male seniors.<\/p>\n To Anthony Ortiz, I will you The List. Message me.<\/p>\n To Kent Gang and Michel Adams, I will you 1504, my home of the past three years. As community developers, you can influence the environment that grows in 04 over the course of the year. Welcome all of your sophomores. Meet all of the juniors. Make some type of consistent programming, such as a weekly athletic activity after check. Use the hall funds that you have, plan great events, and make 04 the place to be. If you need any help or advice, just shoot me a message. Oh, and one more thing. Go win Clash. LOVE 1S\u26654 EVER.<\/p>\n To Gina Liu and Lakhena Leang, I will you an application to become an Ethics facilitator. By the time you read this, it was probably already due. I hope that you applied. Thank you for thinking, thank you for learning, and thank you for being such great contributors.<\/p>\n To Yash Thacker, I will you a niche at IMSA. Once you find yours, the other pieces of your puzzle will slide into place.<\/p>\n To Philip Nebres, I need not will anything. Just stay cute.<\/p>\n To Rajiv Patel-O\u2019Connor, I will you two more great tennis seasons. You might be a bigger troll than Suraj. I\u2019m not sure \u2013 you\u2019ll have to let me know who wins the honor next year. Regardless, I think that he still has you beaten on pegs, though.<\/p>\n To Ryan Yang, I will you to stay in 04, and I leave you with an application to be a community developer in your senior year. Even if you\u2019re busy with student council, I urge you to take up a leadership position in the IMSA residence halls \u2013 simply because you fit right in. I\u2019m sure that we can expect great things from you in the years to come.<\/p>\n To Elise Douglas, I will you someone else who will smile and wave at you in the hallway, tease Daddy Vivek with you, and give you head massages.<\/p>\n To whomever it may be, I will you the Mod tenor section. Hopefully you won\u2019t have to falsetto as much as we did.<\/p>\n To Kent Gang, I will you a tenor section that will actually shut up when you are talking.<\/p>\n To the future members of 1504 D-wing, where I have spent the past three years, I will you the wing community of 2011 and 2012 \u2013 a community that we never quite achieved this year. Get to know everyone in the wing, and don\u2019t limit yourself to the extent of your classmates or your friends. Actually have some programming, and definitely have fun too.<\/p>\n To Kevin Li, Suraj Sinha, and John Satter, I will you the determination to bring your halls to life in Clash 2014. Carry hard next year. Even though you are not CDs, remember that you have just as much of a voice. Although it was nonexistent, the 04-05 \u201calliance\u201d was one of the most enjoyable parts of Clash this year \u2013 the cherry on top of a memorable week. Bring that spirit of collaboration into March next year, except with all of the halls. It should be a week focused on each hall doing its best, not doing better than the others. Best of luck on your movie, talent show, mural, and participation. All of this year\u2019s Clash-no-lifers will be watching. Go hard, guys. Go hard.<\/p>\n To Josh Paul Ajayi, I will you a stronger conscience. You\u2019re one of the funniest people that I have ever met. I was surprised that I didn\u2019t die from laughing too hard on that night when you slept over. But find the balance, man. Not every joke needs to be said. Push yourself to become a better person. Everyone should be real from time to time. When you are, people will take you seriously.<\/p>\n To Nitya Pariti, I will you someone else to annoy you incessantly, help you on math homework, and stare at you in Mod until you\u2019re creeped out. Sorry for messing with you so much; it\u2019s just too fun, and I hope you realize that it\u2019s all in good spirit. And, uh, sorry for your first dinner date. Oh, did I forget to mention that you have an amazing voice? I will confess that I voted for you almost every time in Mod solos. Keep singing in college. Seriously. Don\u2019t hide your talent or neglect it in favor of saving time. Stay musical. I\u2019ll miss your bubbly, fearless, and playfully melodic personality in my day.<\/p>\n To Will Xu, I will you confidence and purpose. Why do you keep selling yourself short? Why do you run from your fears, instead of confronting them? If you decide to, you will overcome them. Find your motivation, set your goals, and then go achieve them. At IMSA, I found that I have to decide that I truly want to do something before I can accomplish it \u2013 whether it is finishing an assignment, earning a grade, or winning a tennis match. So, Will, you need to decide what you want to do. You need to determine what you want to get out of your senior year. Spend the summer thinking; the decision should not come quickly. People can keep giving you advice, but ultimately your path is yours to choose. Overall, have faith in yourself. Expect more of yourself. And keep in touch with me. Let me know how your life is going. If you need to talk, I\u2019ll just be a phone call and a time zone away.<\/p>\n Sai Talluru, I\u2019m not sure why Outdoor and Indoor prompted you to decide that we were siblings, but in some ways, I feel that you are almost my younger sister at IMSA, someone whom I watch out and care for. I want to leave you with one piece of advice: don\u2019t trust others too easily. Many people just want to hear the latest story; the few people who deserve your confidence will be the ones waiting for you when you need them, because they truly care for you. I will you a senior year that is irreplaceably fun and memorable. Throw your stress out the window. Tank a few assignments. You will realize that the memories you made throughout your time at IMSA are more important than any college acceptance. So, Sai, I will you a new big brother on campus, and I sincerely will you happiness.<\/p>\n To all IMSA students, I will you time. I hope that at least once, you stay up talking with friends until the sunrise. Pursue your own hobbies, even if others find them meaningless. You should be able to take a minute out of your day to look up from work and just appreciate the environment around you. And so, I will you time: time to observe the neglected moments in life, and time to pursue your interests before you graduate. There is so much that you can experience at IMSA \u2013 three years is hardly enough to do it justice. But with the time that you have, do what you love, and love what you do, so that when the breeze of life is pushing you forward, or you are simply feeling nostalgic, you can remember the hundreds of memories that you have formed at your home away from home \u2013 memories that will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Ashima Gupta<\/strong><\/p>\n University of Illinois at Chicago, Class of 2017<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments: Bucket List: Last Testament:<\/p>\n To Karen Olowu, I will you nothing else but happiness, because, believe it or not, you have everything you\u2019ll ever need to succeed in life. From brains to beauty, you\u2019ve got it all, and make sure you never forget how much your talks meant to one little brown girl in high school.<\/p>\n To Sai Somasundaram, I will you a bone-crushing hug every day, someone else to yell \u201cSAI SOMASUNDARAM\u201d anytime you come in sight, and a personal best not just for a swimming event but for everything you do.<\/p>\n To Ruchi Patel, I will you peace, objective advice, and lots of Skype conversations. I will you another girl in A-wing to share your love for Pretty Little Liars and Desi music, but if not, know that the original one will only be 45 minutes away. Finally, I will you a stress-free Clash week, because we both know you and Allie are going to kill it. I miss you already just writing this sister, more than words can say.<\/p>\n To Allie Johnson, I leave you with another sophomore who can take your place as being the one who steps up during Clash week and gets things done. I also will you a fabulous junior year and leadership skills that compare to no other.<\/p>\n To Estefany Guzman, I leave you with all the sarcastic comments, Hispanic movies, Latin dancing, and pretty little smiles you could ever want. I\u2019m going to miss having you in my hall and in my life.<\/p>\n To Sai Talluru, I will you follow through with everything you do, whether that be keeping in touch with friends back at OEHS or making sure what you need to do for ISA or Class Club gets done. Most importantly, I will you the perspective to remove yourself from your current situation and commitments and remember what\u2019s important.<\/p>\n To Yvette Ramirez, I will you the ability to recognize when things don\u2019t matter anymore and what people always say isn\u2019t personal. I also will you nerves when you\u2019re public speaking, because for me, nerves mean that you\u2019re so passionate about what you\u2019re telling people that you care about their reaction.<\/p>\n To Ryan Leemans, I will you things we never had. That, and I leave you with the mindset that anything is possible with the right amount of hard work, perseverance, and just a little bit of luck.<\/p>\n To Greg O\u2019Bannon, I leave you with hope: the hope to do better and the hope to succeed.<\/p>\n To Sarah Valentine, I will you late nights. Many, many late nights. Not just because I believe that first semester senior year is harder than junior year, but because somewhere around 4:30 AM is the best time to get some peace on this crazy busy campus. I will you self-awareness and happiness most of all, because no matter how things work out, whatever needs to happens will happen.<\/p>\n To Kayla Ingram, I will you well-placed comments and choreography that comes straight from the soul.<\/p>\n To Ram Patel, I will you a chemistry lab partner that isn\u2019t a second semester senior and actually knows what she\u2019s doing. I also will you someone that makes as good a team with you as we did. From Casa to B\/D 16-19, we killed it. Good luck.<\/p>\n To Joe Reda, I will you someone that you can fall in an out of contact with, but at the end of the day, talk as if you were picking up the conversation from where it was months ago. Live the stress-free attitude all throughout your time here; at the end of the day, life is too short to worry<\/p>\n To Dallas Eckman and Kent Gang, I leave you my legacy. Go through your last year in high school remembering that no matter what comes in your way, or the amount of LEAD work that\u2019s left in your plate at 3 in the morning (it will happen, I promise you), Jen and I chose you both for a reason. Dallas, my dear, committed coordinator, you have an aura about you that makes people want to be around you. Use that. Kent, you are by far the most knowledgeable person I have ever met. You have a lot to offer your team, and remember, they have a lot to offer you too. Like I said to both of you, you know what you want. Now be stubborn, go get it, and don\u2019t let anyone tell you otherwise.<\/p>\n To my LEAD junior facilitators this year (Al-Jalil Gault, Anna Krzywiec, Arjun Sarode, Dallas Eckman, Emmy Mladenova, Grace Ren, Hania Sambor, Isiah Butler, Joe Donermeyer, Kent Gang, Kevin Li, Kristine Yoon, Lakhena Leang, Nahee Park, Sarah Valentine, & Stephanie Wang) I leave you with spirit, team bonding, and rising junior facilitators that will astound you with their capabilities as much as you did for me. You are all leaders in your own rights, and it won\u2019t necessarily be the classroom sessions but team bonding activities and events like Banana Splits that I\u2019ll remember the most.<\/p>\n To Al-Jalil Gault and Kevin Li, I will you another FABULOUS coordinator to work with! Just kidding. I leave you both with ambition and motivation, not just for EnACT or LEAD but for yourselves in general. Revel in your accomplishments and always look ahead to your next big footprint on the world. I will miss you both, and remember that my phone will always work.<\/p>\n To Grace Ren and Lakhena Leang, I leave you with SPARK. I remember late night conversations with Rahul during my sophomore year, and I remember how the ALSA walk changed my outlook on life. Don\u2019t forget the little inspirational moments because that will be your motivation when things get hard. Do good things, guys. You have the power to do so.<\/p>\n To 03A-wing, I will you positivity, a stress-free junior year, an easy application process for seniors, and a reminder that wherever you are, there is someone out there that is thinking of all the memories we shared together.<\/p>\n To Arjit Jaiswal, I will you, well, what can I possibly will you? I will you the knowledge that there are fewer things, if any, more important in this life than family. There will be a few friends with you throughout your life, and through thick and thin, but there are also a set of people who we don\u2019t get to pick that will support you even when they don\u2019t like you. Because liking is not the same as loving. Between the boredom, parties, Mountain Dew, picnics, water parks, beaches, car rides, and movie nights, there is no one else I\u2019d rather share all the memories with.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Ayun Brown<\/strong><\/p>\n IIT Class of 2017<\/p>\n Most Memorable: Bucket List: Last Testament: To the sophomores, I will the perseverance to keep on in whatever you do. At IMSA and elsewhere, never sell yourself short. Do the best you know you can and fight through all the hindrances and troubles that block you. You all are special and have potential to do amazing things later on.<\/p>\n To the juniors, I will you the Senior year, the world-renowned best year of school. Be the change you wish to see on campus and in the world. Don\u2019t forsake the unity of your members for when you all join together to do something big, monumental change can occur. Go wild and give it all you got.<\/p>\n To the sophomores of 1501 A wing, I will you focus and productivity because you\u2019ll no doubt need it. In all seriousness, prioritize your work and play. IMSA is a school first and a place to make friends after. Also, realize you don\u2019t stay sophomores forever. You\u2019re about to become adults soon, so start shaping yourselves like one.<\/p>\n To the Juniors of 1501 A wing, I will you my home for the past three years. Needless to say, take care of it. Help facilitate the IMSA experience by staying connected with the wing, hall, and campus, and hold forth the reputation that 01A is the First and Best wing on campus.<\/p>\n To the 1501 Family, I will you unity. This was the first year the hall truly came together, and it actually came down to you guys seeing the similarities you all shared instead of the differences. Remember this in the coming year(s), and remain flexible and aware of your surroundings. I love you all. You all came to 01 for a reason, and you should know that reason more than ever now. Go forth in the coming year and take 01 above and beyond!<\/p>\n To Luke Musgrave, I will strength. Strength to lead, strength to stand out\/up for something, strength to have a (Sexy bass) voice. The coming year won\u2019t be easy, but you and the rest of the A-wing Bros can do it. Keep your nose in the book, and continue to woo the masses (of women) with the swag that is Luke Musgrave.<\/p>\n To Julian Pacheco, I will discernment. No doubt you\u2019ll be a leader in the coming years, and I know you have good intentions. The next step is perseverance, determination, and discernment to guide yourself to your goal. You are my brother in the faith. Always stay in the Word and Do the Right thing. God\u2019s got plans for you.<\/p>\n To Eric Barrientos, I will you a calm spirit. Your intentions are always lighthearted and focused on bettering the wing, hall, or your friends. Keep in mind, that your methods aren\u2019t One-size-fits-all and that some people need to do things their own way. Also remember that you\u2019re not always going to right about everything. Roll with the punches thrown your way and always wear a smile. I wish to see big things from you in the future.<\/p>\n To Ellen and Bree, I will relatability. As CD\u2019s, one of the biggest components needed to successfully lead a hall is a solid knowledge of your members. Keep in contact with them. Call them out by name and say hi. I also will you the knowledge that you\u2019re not in this alone. There\u2019s about 90 other students wanting to make 01 the best hall on campus. Use them. Pool your resources and strengths together, and get to know each other. Most importantly, be flexible. You never know what\u2019s going to happen in the coming year, so do your best to make the right decision for the hall. I trust you wholeheartedly.<\/p>\n To the future EXCEL tutors, I will the ability to be awesome. Period. Make EXCEL an eye-opening experience as to what the coming years at IMSA will be.<\/p>\n To the IMSA Soccer team, I will you perseverance and vision. This year, you saw that despite the losing streak at the beginning, we became a really solid team toward the end of the season. Never give up. Just keep fighting. Sooner or later, the X-factor will click and you guys will flow like clockwork. Also, remember that soccer is actually the \u201cfunnest\u201d sport in the world, so go wild and have fun.<\/p>\n To Frenchie, I will a pair of eyes on the side of your head. Watch your post, son. Also, nice punt. Learn to aim it.<\/p>\n To Varun Patel, I will the ability to finish. Keep playing soccer, bro. You\u2019ve got some fire in that foot and know how to get in the back of the net. Always look for that through-ball. #17:18<\/p>\n To Zack Yager, I will you a defender who will be able to play you on the right side of the field.<\/p>\n To the Choir folks, I will determination (and a bit of Pitch). Seriously though, never, ever doubt your singing ability. I came to IMSA with little to no vocal skill. But I made it through, not because of various vocal technique lessons, but because of my love for singing. A tip Vamika gave me before she left was that whenever you feel stressed, tired, or fed up, go into a practice room, and just sing. Sing your favorite song. Forget about pitch, intonation, and phrasing. Just sing, and let your soul open up and heal your heart.<\/p>\n To Jennifer Hoelzer, I will a carefree spirit. Over these past two years, I have yet to meet someone who sings as beautifully and as with much energy and spirit as you do. You have blessed me along with the IMSA campus with your voice, pitch control, and acting ability. I want to say Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Remember that all work and no play makes Jenny a dull (girl), so don\u2019t forget to laugh and enjoy the little things in life. Also, may you find a gentleman capable of sweeping you off your feet. I\u2019m rooting for you, kid.<\/p>\n To Grace Ren, I will a bit of swagger. Carry yourself big, kid. You got a lot to offer. You\u2019re smart, competent, good looking, surrounded by a ton of awesome friends, came from 01, have a beautiful singing voice, etc. Love your senior year and rock it to the max.<\/p>\n To Matt Park, I will the ability to get more women. there ya go. romp.<\/p>\n To Dennis Rich, I will some humility (lojk). I\u2019ve seen a lot of you in Mod, Choir, Soccer, Etc. You\u2019ve got skill, bro. Continue to hone those abilities and do big things in the coming years. Also, dat E.<\/p>\n To IMSA Boys Basketball, I will the ability\/skill to put the ball in the net. I see good things for the program in the coming years. Knock down your shots, get in shape, and go win a regional for once.<\/p>\n To Kobe, I will some upper body strength. Go lift bro, you need it. Come get me when you can do a set of pull ups. But seriously though, I can\u2019t really say much. You\u2019re pretty set. Having you in the wing last year was a blast.\u00a0 Having you on the team was the \u2018ish. I\u2019m really gonna miss you, bro. Stay focused, and get into college, dunk on a couple kids next year, and make this Jamaican brother proud.<\/p>\n To Greg O\u2019bannon, I will some dedication. I like you, son. I like the way you run yourself. Be sure not to take it too far. Have an awesome Senior year. Oh, and don\u2019t let me hear about any \u201cShot-clock Cheese,\u201d alright? Buah!<\/p>\n To Josh Paul Ajayi, I will a $20 gift card to Woodmans. But for real, though. You\u2019re an alright kid. You\u2019re willing to jump in and do some legit stuff like that video or play some bball whenever, and that\u2019s commendable, bro. I\u2019ve also noticed you\u2019ve grown up a lot this year, and I\u2019m sure Yinka would be proud. Go on ahead with your Senior Year.<\/p>\n To Nick Watts, I will you a six pack. Bullet.<\/p>\n To Dayvon Snell, I will you some more facial expressions. Bullet.<\/p>\n To the IMSA Christians, I will a spirit passionate for Christ. I\u2019ve talked on to no end about what it means to live for Christ, to die to self, to spread the word, etc. What I hope and pray for everyday is that you guys get a better understanding of who God is and start to have a relationship with him. Like human relationships, they require time and effort to grow. But they also become so much more meaningful the more they grow. Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind. He\u2019s got great things in plan for you all.<\/p>\n To Nisha, I will you a closer relationship with God. Never in all my years at IMSA have I seen someone like you grow as much as you did this year. You went to every Bible study soaking up as much as you could and let the love of God come in and make you his own. God looks down and smiles at people like you, Nisha. Always keep God first, continue reading, running, and playing soccer. And thank you, for being a true inspiration to me in my effort to advance the Lord\u2019s kingdom.<\/p>\n To Dallas Eckman, I will the 7 chaos emeralds, which grant the user infinite wisdom, vitality, and strength. Seriously though, even though we may disagree with you on some ideals, I have A LOT of respect for you. In combination with your magnificent acting skills, novel wing decorating abilities, and overall relatable attitude, you make for a well rounded individual capable of doing really BIG things. I know you\u2019ve been really busy and up late doing school work and extra curriculars, but seeing you fight off Caspa each day just inspires me. I wish you the best next year. Make your Senior year memorable and worth it.<\/p>\n To Kent Gang, I will a nice, big, genuine smile. The kinda smile you get when you laugh with the Basses in Mod. Kent, your talent inspired me as an individual to stay on top of my game because you were so on top of yours 24\/7. I want to wish you the best with Mod and LEAD next year. Always give it your best, but don\u2019t forget to smile and be proud of what you accomplished from time to time. Good luck, Mr. President.<\/p>\n To Anna Krzywiec, I will you a fantastic Senior Year. Even though we only got to know each other this year through LEAD, I\u2019m really, really glad I got you as my co. You have been nothing but a major help and asset to me during LEAD and a super fun friend to be around. Thank you for having a wonderful personality and for being beautiful, inside and out. I wish you the best next year. There\u2019s no backing out now. The door is locked, and the only way out is through the Perfume Department (Graduation). Go forth, Anna. Push, and succeed. But make sure you clear out that skeleton in your closet first. ;)<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Brian H. Chien<\/strong><\/p>\n University of Illinois: Urbana Champaign, Class of 2017<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments: Bucket List: Last Testament: To Andrew Salij, I leave you a quick trigger finger and optimism on the buzzer when you\u2019re in a quiz bowl match.<\/p>\n To Ryan Yang, I leave you the great path great people like Robin Lindemann, Mike Wong, Morenibayo Bankole II, Dominic Gentile, and Matt Gietl once followed. I also will you your Shain-ruled name, YAAN RANG<\/p>\n To Aquila Ryu, I leave you\u2026NOTHING\u2026..hahahaha just kidding, I will you what little OOP knowledge I have in hopes you can do well in the future<\/p>\n To Julian Pacheco, Dayvon Snell, and Max Lembo, I will you a share of the sprint squad. Hopefully you guys will stay for all three years.<\/p>\n To Kyle Chen, I will you the knowledge that, yes, my dad in fact, knows your dad ever since they went to college together at Cheng Kung University. I keep forgetting to tell you that.

Though I haven\u2019t talked to you that much ever since that one dessert date, you should continue doing what you like your junior year.<\/p>\n To Joey Yurkanin, I will you the power to have even more fun next year. Junior year\u2019s going to throw a lot of random and sometimes unfortunate crap at you. Just be yourself and have fun, and take care of the sophomores next year!<\/p>\n Juniors: To Johnny Wu and Gina Liu, I will you my SCS-knowledge. You\u2019ll be able to solve many problems, as well as deal with even more missing hard drives!!<\/p>\n To Susie Shin, remember that guitar pick I gave you last year? I will you that, haha.

You\u2019ve been as much of a part of KI this year as I have, and I can\u2019t imagine leaving it in better hands. Take care of our little family, and try not to be too passive aggressive to the children.<\/p>\n Lynette To and Eveline Liu, I will you the CD-ship of 06. Take good care of our building! We\u2019ve worked so hard this year to make things more fun for our girls, and get everyone more involved in the hall. Make sure you keep up the good work that I know you two will be able to do. I can\u2019t wait to see what you do with the hall next year!<\/p>\n Hania Sambor and Becky Kleina, I will you C wing. The rest of my hex and I have worked so hard to keep this wing a fun, crazy family like we all love, and I expect you two to keep it up.

Have fun, guys. Keep our tiny Russian family absurd, and let me know how the year goes. As much as I complain about having two language classes, I\u2019m so glad I took Russian my junior year, because I got to know all you \u0441\u0443\u043c\u0430\u0441\u0448\u0435\u0434\u0448\u0438\u0435 kids. Have a great senior year, and I can\u2019t wait to hear where you all go to college. It\u2019s just too bad I won\u2019t be there for Pavel to ask you every day, come April.<\/p>\n Dallas Eckman, I will you an eventful but fantastic senior year. You\u2019ve got a lot going on, but if anyone can do it, it will be you. Just get some sleep once in a while, okay, kiddo? And I also will you a part in one play next year. Drama Club wouldn\u2019t be whole without you. Have a wonderful senior year, Dallas. You deserve it.<\/p>\n Bree Pusey, I will you one picture with a creepy tour guide grabbing your arm, and a smelly lady sitting next to you on a flight. (Also the ability to have a blast as a CD. But mainly the first two.)<\/p>\n To anyone I probably forgot, and basically the rest of IMSA, I will you a stress-free (or as close as you can get) college application and decision process, along with an acceptance letter from a college you absolutely adore. Be happy next year!

I leave you my beloved quad. You better not screw it up. ;)<\/p>\n To Jess Monigal, Mongolia making you smile is something I\u2019m going to miss. I\u2019m also going to miss our inside jokes.

They are very moldable and you wouldn\u2019t want to scare them or corrupt them or otherwise do bad things. Be chill and good luck with junior year. It\u2019s not all fun and games but it\u2019s definitely bearable.<\/p>\n To Nathan Huxtable, Jack Gibbons, Steven Kosvick, and Josh Wu I leave all of my LoL skill. Because I have so much you guys shouldn\u2019t have a problem dividing it amongst yourselves and still having a surplus left over. Thanks for putting up with the rookie nub.<\/p>\n To Ashok Arjunakani and Sajishnu Savya I leave all of the time that you wasted in our quad that you\u2019ll never actually get back.

You always seemed to be very busy this year with your classes and clubs. The good thing though is that you are passionate about the things that you want to do and that will get you far. I\u2019ll always remember the great times in the IRC just chilling and doing absolutely nothing! You\u2019re almost done so just keep going. You can do this!<\/p>\n To Mayuri, Mit, and Ani, my favorite sophomores, I will you the great junior year that is ahead of you. I know you guys will have a lot of fun next year, but do some work.

But really, I will you guys a fantastic senior year. Senior year is a lot of fun and all of your hard work will pay off.

You both worked hard this year, so live it up next year because it will fly by fast!<\/p>\n To Anne Weitekamp, I will you my superior ceramics skills, and I hope that one day you can become as good as I am.

I can’t let you have the real one, as Willow and I are too close for that, but you deserve at least a spectral version of Willow.

I know that I\u2019ll never forget just how much fun I had there. Yet, there remains one thing that has shaped me more than anything else.

I know that LEAD is in good hands with your vision for growth and challenging the students. I will you the best in all of your future endeavors.

As your co- facilitator I have seen you be a great mentor to the students and I know that where ever you go you will do great and wonderful things!\u00a0 Please continue to dance and to enjoy the life and opportunities that you have!<\/p>\n To Isiah Butler, I will you a better co-facilitator that will not ‘try to get under your skin’ and that has better communication skills. I have and always will believe in you. I know that you will go far in life– you just have to believe in yourself and put yourself out there! I have witness you grow a lot over the past year and I am aware of the infinite possibilities for growth and amazingness that you possess!

You are one of the most understanding, compassionate, and loving person that I have ever met. Your hugs at ten check give me warmness in my heart. Do not lose that sense of giving and inspiration that you bring everybody else. I will you the perseverance and strength for your Senior Year along with great memories and a junior up quad that will be as amazing as you guys were!<\/p>\n To 01 B Wing, I will you the happiness and the quirkiness that embraces our wing at every ten check and wing event!

Bring the spunk and the life that is 01B and above all else be happy! Do not stress over the paper due tomorrow or the Ad Chem test because in twenty years you will not remember the answer to question 12 but you will remember the moments shared with those you care about, the laughs that lead to embarrassing snorting, and the 3 in the morning heart to hearts.

And if you ever need anything– my door is always open!<\/p>\n To all of my SEAMS, LEAD, and EIP babies I will you the ability to never forget where you came from and what you went through to reach this place in your life. Be grateful and appreciative of what you have accomplished. Please recognize the importance of the role you play in this community and how your actions can truly inspire someone else. Remember that you are that tutor, facilitator, and mentor that other younger students are looking up to. And above all else give back to the community that brought you here– whether it’s your friends, family, or even other SEAMS, LEAD, or EIP babies. Be happy and enjoy your time at IMSA– yeah sometimes it’s hard and stressful and you ask yourself whether staying up late at night is worth it– it is. These moments are like none else, enjoy it and truly appreciate them for what they are. Remember that you are all diamonds in the rough; it’s just sometimes you have to find the right shovel! Also, if you ever need anything– I am your girl!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Ivelina Hristova<\/strong><\/p>\n American University, Class of 2017<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments: Bucket List: Last Testament: To Estefany and Karen, I will you all (any) of my beastly soccer powers.

I will you good luck senior year, although I have the sneaking suspicion you won\u2019t even need it.<\/p>\n To Colette Moos, I will you long walks on Sunday and long talks on life. Remember that, whatever happens, you can always take some time to go outside, breath in the fresh air, and just relax for a little while. The discussions, chats, and miscellaneous social interactions, though their subjects may at times be questionable, have been a vital part of my wonderful senior year. I\u2019ll be missing out on a lot of them when I leave, so don\u2019t you miss out on any of them. The loss to the rest of the world would be unspeakable.<\/p>\n Finally, to all the awesome members of the 1501 Drill Team, I will you another awesome Clash!

I leave you with a fantastic facilitator team, and I hope you will both rely on your fellow senior facilitators and be able to incorporate input from the team as you make your decisions. I will you the mindset of multipliers and not diminishers; I leave you with each other, and that together, I am confident that you can not only increase the academic intensity of the program, but also unite the team again as a family.<\/p>\n To my LEAD team, I leave you with two very competent and passionate coordinators. I urge you to put your faith in both of them and each other because the LEAD\u2019s team greatest asset has always been in sticking together as facilitators and friends. Don\u2019t be afraid of change, and while it\u2019s good to have healthy disagreement and debate, place your full support in your team and coordinators when they have committed to a decision. Remember that as a facilitator, you are always \u201con TV,\u201d and that your role outside of the classroom matters just as much as how you present yourself inside the classroom. I leave you in charge of the program I\u2019ve invested in and grown so much from. LEAD isn\u2019t just a co-curricular; it\u2019s how I met a group of amazing people who became my support network and bolstered my self-confidence, had the most thought-provoking and reflective conversations, and matured as an individual. I encourage you all to open your mind, allow your opinions to change, and appreciate the journey you are about to embark on with your fellow facilitators. Truly, \u201ca single journey can change the course of a life.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Joan Shang<\/strong><\/p>\n Emory University, Class of 2017<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments: Bucket List: Last Testament: To Shruti Topudurti, I will you the ability to carry on your motherly love.

I will you an exciting and successful Senior year, and the motivation to spread your contagious laughter and smile to others.

Most of all, I will you STRESS-LESS days so that you will truly enjoy your last year at IMSA. It\u2019s easy to get daunted and overwhelmed by the looming obstacles that stand between you and graduation, but don\u2019t get so caught up looking ahead that you forget where you are and the amazing people around you. You only have one senior year. Make it count.<\/p>\n To Estefany Guzman, I will you the brightest and boldest colors of paint for you to color the canvas of your world.<\/p>\n To Yvette Ramirez, I will you soothing head-rubs and a partner who will pinch you to keep you focused and productive. I also will you the ability to recognize that you are beautiful, both inside and out. This might sound cheesy, but it\u2019s true.\u00a0 Stay beautiful, stay you.<\/p>\n To Anne Weitekamp, I will you relaxing afternoons in the ceramics room. Thank you for being my patient teacher and introducing me to the world of pottery. I also will you memorable Student Ambassador tours and the encouragements to spread your happiness around.

Thank you for being my irreplaceable and amazing wing!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Kalyani Sonarikar<\/strong><\/p>\n Knox College, Class of 2017<\/p>\n Last Testament: To Joe Reda, I will you a good year heading the Gallimaufry, filled with tons and tons of stress with June Qian, last minute deadlines, (just when you think it\u2019s done, it\u2019s really not.), and a sexy mug shot on the board page. I will you people that want to listen more and talk less, as well as ones who appreciate your talent.\u00a0 Also, I will you copies of this year\u2019s yearbook to use as a template, as well as all the ugly pictures we took. Finally, I will you a promise: the promise that we will own a club someday.<\/p>\n To (baby) Ryan Eberhardt and (lovely) Phuong Vo, I will you SCS in all its entirety; all the incompetency, the velociralphtors, the long (and extremely off-topic) manager meetings, the Symantec corruptions, the DNS issues, and maybe a kitchen sink or two. I will you good judgment to choose next year\u2019s junior managers, as well as next year\u2019s sophomore team members. I also will you (some) of the flash drives I collected. Above all, I will you the best senior year ever in which you put all the work on your junior managers so that you two can relax. You\u2019ve both exceeded my expectations. Keep up the competency.

I also will you to be decisive and to live your life your way.<\/p>\n To Selam Zenebe-Gete, I will you all of my Chill pills and narcotics so you can get relax and get some sleep in your senior year. I also will you 1502 drill team for COTH 2014, which I have no doubt you will make amazing.<\/p>\n To Joanne Kwak, I will you the ability to multitask so that you can watch Korean dramas and work simultaneously. Involve yourself in all of your passions.<\/p>\n To Susie Shin, I leave you with my amazing body rolls so that you can attract an even greater plethora of boys. I also will you all of the metro sexual, attractive and feminine Korean boys for you to enjoy to your heart\u2019s content.<\/p>\n To Lakhena Leang, I leave you with my penchant for older men, in your case Jackie Chan.<\/p>\n To Evelyn Perez, I will you pride in culture, in ethnicity, and in tradition. Use your love and kindness to spread cultural awareness to the whole campus and become a great leader.<\/p>\n To Luselena Perez, I leave you with the excitement and enthusiasm I brought to 10 check. Be loud, make a fool of yourself, and be there for the new incoming sophomores. Share some of your charm and gorgeousness with others because you have way too much of both.<\/p>\n To all of you in 02B Wing, I will you success, love, and most importantly, happiness throughout your lives. You are already kind-hearted, phenomenal people, and I hope for nothing but the best for all of you. I could not have asked for a better family; even though these experiences will fade into memories, at this moment I love you all from the bottom of my heart.<\/p>\n \u201cI hope you never lose your sense of wonder <\/p>\n Katherine Havighorst<\/strong><\/p>\n University of Illinois College of ACES, Class of 2017<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments: Last Testament: To Anne Weitekamp, Dallas Eckman, and Jake Akstins, I leave KI. Don\u2019t scare away the sophomores too quickly, but enjoy teaching them the ways of KI. I hope none of you ever have to deal with the waterwheel or windmill lessons, and that you continue to destroy Golden Apples in summer dodge ball. Anne, may your I-days be filled with trying to solve the ball-maze in one go. Dallas, I dare you to teach a better lesson than massaging blue gak in a bowl. Jake, as the level-headed one I trust that you will keep these two, as well as the sophomores as dedicated as you have been. And when I visit, I will be EXTREMELY disappointed if the sophomores do not know about Howie.<\/p>\n To the ducks, Taylor Knopf and Nicole Aldrige, I will you the most competent techies on the planet\u2026..and that you never have to build window seats again. If anyone can whip the new sophomores into shape, it\u2019s you two. Taylor, I hope you find someone who will watch \u201cThe Princess Bride\u201d with you backstage, even if they aren\u2019t your ex-titan-teammate. I also hope the costume-making is easier, but not too easy. You still need to hold your role as \u201cTaylor the Tailor\u201d. Nicole, I hope you get another curly-haired actress who understands our trials and tribulations. And I challenge you to see how long you can keep a sticker up backstage, since our experiment failed. Most of all, I will that a new sophomore will come along and share a pun with you each and every rehearsal or build. After all, what is a play if it isn\u2019t on words?<\/p>\n To the lovely voices of Jennifer Hoelzer, Carissa Lao, and Grace Ren, I will you an entertaining year of choir. May you never have to deal with the a-capella relatives of Hawaii Five-O or Eleanor Rigby again. I also will that the best male singers throughout Illinois join choir next year so that you have a real bass and tenor section. I hope you all will take over mine and Mikayla\u2019s decorating prowess for Madrigals, and that you remember to use the jazz square of zero throughout the year. Above all, make sure you all shine during your senior year, and always remember Ms. Wiggins\u2019 \u201cthree-finger rule\u201d.<\/p>\n To Sarah Valentine and Hania Sambor, I leave the Titans Softball team. Although the season will lack Sparklefest, I know you both will make the team shine. I know you both love this team as much as I do, and I couldn\u2019t think of better hands to leave it in. I will you enough competent sophomores to fill two softball teams, and a field that stops turning into clay. Hania, never forget PWOE and how amazing you are. Swing for the fence, and show the other teams what you are made of. Sarah, even though I tease you about it, never stop try-harding. Whether you play third, second, or behind the plate, I know how much effort you put into it and it always pays off. So girls, have another game where we all cheer \u201c#SAFE!\u201d from a dugout filled with birds, but never let coach turn practice into a game of touch football again. EVER. Finally, I hope that you both enjoy your last season as much as I have, and that you lead that next softball team to greatness.<\/p>\n Finally, to 1506 C Wing, I will an amazing year. This has been my home for three straight years, and I hope it serves you as well as it has served me. From late-night problem set parties to movie nights, I knew I could count on the wing to get me through it. This wing really is a family; don\u2019t be afraid to rely on it. And even though you won\u2019t have our senior antics around next year, I hope you create some of your own. I will that the new RC is the best on campus and takes good care of you all for me. Katie S, I hope you continue the tradition of Katies in the wing. There has been one in 06C since 2006, and I hope you help continue this legend. Becky and Hania, I trust that you two will bring speakers even louder than Kalyani\u2019s, inherit some of our craziness, and carry on the true spirit of C wing. I challenge you to top our spider prank on Caitlin and Kalyani, and that you create nicknames for everyone in the wing. (But please, be a little more original than Katertots.) To all of you girls, whether you continue living in C wing or move out of 06, I truly wish you the best year at IMSA. This is place is what you make of it, and I hope I have helped make it an enjoyable and amazing place to live this past year. Whatever you do, don\u2019t ever change and remember that 06C is always your home. Remember, they can take our couch, but they can never take our spirit. Love you all <3.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Kaylee Kauffman<\/strong><\/p>\n Rice University, Class of 2017<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments: Bucket List: Last Testament: To all of the basketball girls, Keep it up. Keep having fun, keep being awesome friends to each other, and keep driving Keith, Q, and Allie absolutely nuts.<\/p>\n To Breanna, I leave you some melanin, so that you may no longer blend in with the whitewall, and an eternally confused roommate.<\/p>\n To Alyda, I leave you many more moments of confusion, and a tanner roommate.<\/p>\n To Michelle, I leave you invisible three foot stilts, so you can confuse people into thinking you\u2019re floating and then punch them in the face.<\/p>\n To Katie, I leave you with a tazer in case Michelle gets drunk on her newfound power.<\/p>\n To Shelly, *snaps fingers* I leave you our super special awesome secret handshake and permission to bug the heck out of Sarah if you need SIR help.<\/p>\n To Joanne, I leave you an invisible Hayao Miyazaki poster, because you have good taste in movies (and because I don\u2019t actually have a Hayao Miyazaki poster sorry)<\/p>\n To Karin, I leave you lots of sparkles. And rainbows. And a princess crown.<\/p>\n To Lo, I leave you with a portable sparkle shield and the elusive superpower all juniors crave: the ability to sleep more than six hours a night. (I stole this superpower from someone else shhh don\u2019t tell anyone.)<\/p>\n To Sharon, I leave you a plate full of gooey warm chocolate chip cookies and a hug. Keep up the great work kiddo, and have lots of fun on basketball next year. If I can, I\u2019ll come root you on!<\/p>\n To Ella, I leave you Europa.

You\u2019re a pretty cool story, but I don\u2019t like how you\u2019re turning into junior year me. School isn\u2019t everything. Pls take care of Matt\u2019s powerschool first semester next year.<\/p>\n To William Xu, I will you the Fields of Justice. I hope that my work ethic rubs off on you.<\/p>\n To Saigopal, I will you the ability to count laps correctly. There\u2019s no point in swimming if you are not going to try your absolute hardest in practice, Sai. I hope you have another lane partner to do 500s and fastest average with. You better swim faster than I did.<\/p>\n To Evan Li, I will you a trimmed completionist cape and a real party-hat.<\/p>\n To Akila Ryu, I will you the ability to stay on the swim team for the whole season.<\/p>\n To Tyler P., I will you another upperclassman to call you \u201cTiler.\u201d<\/p>\n To Suraj, I will you an underclassman who will carry you in your class, yet be nearly as lazy as a second semester senior.

I really hope you stop being so stressed. You work so hard and worry half the it\u2019s for nothing.<\/p>\n To Ding Zheng (Deviant Zen), I will you my nonexistent musical insight and improved rapping abilities. Your future is not as bleak as you always to complain to me it is. What if everything does go wrong, but you go way to hard rapping and become mainstream? Sorry, I like trolling too.<\/p>\n To Ryan (Choke-Slam) Chiu, I will your most used objects.<\/p>\n To Steven Tan, Andrew Liang, Johnny Wu, I will the ability to work hard in practice as an IMSA senior.\u00a0 I know how hard it is to stay motivated during the season, but enjoy your last year and work as hard as you can. Because no matter how much you hate swimming during the season, you\u2019ll miss it so much more when it\u2019s finally over. Remember, I hate trolls.<\/p>\n To Kevin Satler, I will you someone to lead the lane during fastest average. I still feel really bad that I swam so poorly this season. I\u2019m sorry that I haven\u2019t always been the most cooperative swimmer, but it\u2019s only because I cared so much about swimming. I have always really appreciated you as my coach.<\/p>\n To Jack Gall, I will you another wing as chill as you are.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Kevin Zhang<\/strong><\/p>\n Dartmouth College, Class of 2017<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments: Last Testament: To Aaron Geldner, I leave you with a very special blanket.<\/p>\n To Arjun Sarode, I leave you with my many posters of SNSD to satisfy your insatiable yellow fever.<\/p>\n To Dallas Eckman, I leave you with an army of inescapable clowns to mercilessly follow you through your days and surprise you at the most inconvenient moments possible.<\/p>\n To Jo-Jo Feng, I leave you with another casper cave to crawl into.<\/p>\n To Gus Nagro, I leave you with my ability to speak Chinese.

Also, time to yourself to relax and a senior year at least half as stressful as junior year.<\/p>\n To Johnny Wu, I leave you the motivation that you\u2019re always trying to have.<\/p>\n To Model UN, I leave you continued success and exponential improvement in even greater and bigger conferences.<\/p>\n To Sophomores of 06D, I leave you guys with the hope that you stay in D-Wing and continue on our wing personality of being badass.<\/p>\n To Elijah Jimenez, I will you general optimism and someone to always hug you when you get sad.<\/p>\n To Al-Jalil Gault, I leave your protection from IMSA taking the brightness and the passion that you have for everything you do.<\/p>\n To Joe Reda, I will you good, loyal friends and a little sibling who is taller than you.<\/p>\n To future & current BELLAs, I leave you success in spreading the mission of this fabulous club, years full of sisterhood as much as it has been in the past, and the knowledge that I\u2019m always there to help any one of you.<\/p>\n To Joey Yurkanin, I will you inspiration to capitalize on your talents and utilize them to significantly contribute to the world.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Mary Do<\/strong><\/p>\n California Institute of Technology, Class of 2017<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments: Bucket List: Last Testament: To Sai Talluru, I will you: My ability to procrastinate without stressing (too much).<\/p>\n To Nahee Park, I want to leave you: My painful massages.<\/p>\n To Deborah Park, I leave you: The memories of you failing to troll me. The memory of me trolling you.<\/p>\n To Deepika Kommineni, I will you: My love of chemistry, because I know somewhere deep inside, you have potential in this field. You just need a little push down the hill. My ability to tutor. My compliments on your beauty. My confidence in you.<\/p>\n To Cammille Go, I leave you: The dog spirit within me.<\/p>\n To Amy De La Torre, I want to will you: My sweetness \u2013 Both of us know you like it.<\/p>\n To Dallas Eckman, I would like to leave you: My thanks for inspiring me.

Not that you\u2019ll need it, considering how many wings we had between us that dinner after SciOly.<\/p>\n To Susie Shin, I leave you: My aspiration to be just like Dr. Choe.<\/p>\n To Matthew Harms, I will you: The wisdom to never choose a second semester senior as your partner for any school project. Don\u2019t use a sophomore either \u2013 they don\u2019t know anything. Use a junior \u2013 that\u2019s what they\u2019re there for.<\/p>\n To Ashley Kim, I leave you: My nickname for you \u2013 \u201cMini-Kim\u201d.

The knowledge that you were one of the best partners I\u2019ve ever had in academia. My apologies for the slacking off on my end. My thanks for putting up with me anyway.<\/p>\n Needless to say, I apologize if I left anyone out that I should have included in this list. You, as well as those listed above, are included in the following piece – I will you all: My thanks for touching my life. My regrets for leaving you behind. A very special place in my heart.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Matthew Tennenhouse<\/strong><\/p>\n University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Class of 2017<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments: Bucket List: Last Testament: To Suraj Sinha\/Vishrut Dixit: To you two gentleman, I (hopefully) will you my Handicapped room. Even though I joke about it going to rising juniors, you two are both worthy of continuing the tradition of C-Wing down quad even though you aren\u2019t white! I (unless you somehow do not get CDQ) will you the bookshelf that has now transcended three years. Unfortunately, I cannot will you the beloved Casper couch from Gietl. To Suraj, I will you my ability to \u201cGo Hard\u201d in life, even though I\u2019m sure you won\u2019t need it.<\/p>\n To Dallas Eckman: To Dallas, I am sure you will get enough praise from many other seniors but I will summarize it all into one sentence: You are probably one of the single most competent people in this world. Basically, I will you two of my passions: LEAD and 1507. Even though LEAD may not necessarily be mine to will, I trust you with the program. However, make sure you do not settle with it. You must challenge yourself each and every day, especially with how much you have committed yourself too. I have no doubt you can manage all of the extracurricular activities, but I want you to reach above and beyond, not simply \u201cmanage\u201d them. Have a phenomenal senior year and remember that sleep isn\u2019t really all that important in the grand scheme of it all.<\/p>\n To Anthony Ortiz, Kevin He, Michael Adams, Drew Schnell, Kobe: To you fine gentleman, I will you one of my passions: Baseball. I will you three or four dependable sophomores to easily make-up for the seniors leaving the team. In particular, I will you a dedicated group of guys next year that make a push for that regional game victory. This will be your team next year and I hope you make the most of it. To Anthony, I will you just as big of an a**h*le to challenge you and your humor. To Kevin He, I will you my confidence. Honestly, you are a huge pro and need to learn to embrace it! To Michael, I will you the best senior year you can imagine and the college decision of your dreams.<\/p>\n To Ryan Eberhardt: Ryan, I honestly cannot will you anything except for good luck. Your motivation and drive honestly inspires me. You have the ultimate combination of common sense, natural intelligence, and motivation. Let that continue to carry you in life- I mean, you\u2019re already going places. If anything, all I can will you are some competent and appreciative marketing individuals that understand and cooperate with your initiative. I will you some dedicated and talented underclassmen to carry your legacy, and ISP, to greater heights than you can do yourself. I also will you the motivation to complete your initiatives, and not just YOLO around like I have this semester. Also, although I cannot quite do this now, I will you the promise to give back to IMSA Student Productions once I have come into my own success and fortunes so that they may afford the latest and greatest equipment.<\/p>\n To Aaron Geldner\/Scott Zelman: To you two, I will you Hatikvah. Simply put, take initiative with it. Even though it may not seem as though it\u2019s of great importance, I think IMSA would be so much greater if cultural clubs stepped it up. Also, to Aaron in particular, I will you one reflective session about 1507. This is something I should have done earlier in the year; I feel like I never truly reached out to you that much. Instead, there was this mutual respect and we just did our own thing. However, I owe you at least one late night bro conversation.<\/p>\n To Kent Gang: Kent, I simply will you some advice. You are a phenomenal leader in many aspects. However, you must use next year as a learning experience. How can you adapt to a similar co-coordinator? How can you relate to others when it may not come entirely natural? Focus on your weaknesses and shortcomings as a leader and work on developing them. As a co-coordinator, this is all a giant leadership test. For this test, I will you a challenge: Take the LEAD program further than I can even imagine. This year, you and I both know that the program is not necessarily where we\u2019d desired. However, I honestly think that your example will set the bar for each and every facilitator. Hold people accountable. If you try to do it yourself, people will not be as diligent. Challenge others to take the same initiative you have shown me. Although it is a great challenge, the future of the LEAD program is in your hands. And there is no one else I trust more.<\/p>\n To Lael Acosta: Mr. \u201cYoung Too Veritable\u201d. To you, sir, I will you a life of challenges. You have some inherent genius in you that is made overly impressive by the fact that you actually put it to good use. Honestly, I will you a challenging summer in Germany and hopefully a German class where you can actually move forward as a learner. Unfortunately, IMSA is not quite challenging enough for you and Jacob. However, the biggest challenge I leave to you is residentially. Throughout this year, you have come in to your own as a member of 07 and I would love to see you step it up for the hall next year.<\/p>\n To James Tao: James Tao. I will you two things: peace of mind and a wonderful girl. You are an inspiration to everyone you meet. Unfortunately, I don\u2019t think you inspire yourself enough. Instead of counting the awards you have, you count the number of problems you missed. Enjoy life a little, man! You inspire me by your abilities to be good at so many things. Yes, many people know you by your mathematics genius. However, I have seen the many facets of James Tao that just make you superior to just about anyone.

Keep it cool my man.<\/p>\n To Ryan Eberhardt, I leave you with the success of ISP. You’ve done a crazy amount of work and put in a ton of time to make sure you come out with a quality, finished product. Go hard or go home. Good job. Next year, you can go a little more baylife when you’ve left your work in good hands.

I know you will do very well next year as leader, inside and outside of the classroom.<\/p>\n To Isiah Butler, I will you an amazing year in LEAD next year. It\u2019s been amazing to see you progress into such a chill and fun facilitator who knows how to work with any student, which is truly an incredible talent.

When I came to IMSA, I remember being a lot like each of you; I was introverted, shy, and generally didn\u2019t like talking to people. These are not bad qualities to have, but it takes a bit of effort to learn how to use them so that people listen to your profound and extremely valid ideas.<\/p>\n To David Zhang and Sanjay Kottapali, I leave the ability to do your work and actually get some sleep. You guys were able to get away with a lot of procrastination sophomore year, but junior year is a whole new beast. I\u2019m not saying do all your papers a week in advance, but get used to budgeting your time a little bit. Especially you, David.<\/p>\n To Tim Swag Gietl and Gus Nagro, I leave you the tradition of the skinny white boys.

I challenge both of you to find some sophomores to take under your wing to help the tradition live on.<\/p>\n To Kevin He, I leave the ability to have a good day. Before you get mad at me for wishing you that, consider that you came to IMSA because you were above average.

Because let\u2019s face it, this is where your bros are, and you deserve to live here!<\/p>\n To Brian Zeifert, I leave someone to talk to. You are a strong, intelligent human being, but you just need someone to convince you of that.

I also will you your ID card which has been in my wallet for the past two months, if you want it back.<\/p>\n To Archit Potharazu, I leave you with the skills and knowledge of how to pull the 8 PM to 3AM sleep schedule the right way \u2013 stop by and we can talk.<\/p>\n To Will Xu, I will you the perseverance to make it through life WITHOUT A PILLOW.<\/p>\n To Gus Nagro and Omair Khan, I leave you with the confidence that you two will be perfect roommates for the next three years, much like Kevin and I have been in our time at IMSA. Although we haven\u2019t interacted as much as we should have as neighbors in A wing, you two have impressed me with both your humility and friendship, and your impressive discipline to keep to a sleep schedule.<\/p>\n To Luke Zhan, I will you a giant SNSD poster that\u2019s been hanging in our room since Suraj took it from you back in first semester. I heard you\u2019ve been losing yours, so you probably want to take it back.<\/p>\n To Jo-Jo Feng, I leave you with someone else\u2019s bed to sleep under, and a pet sophomore that you can call your own two years from now. I wish you best of luck in being a baller at biology and women in general, and beating your brother on the Canadian Biology Olympiad. I also leave you with sleep habits that are sure to deteriorate in the coming years, and a full photo collection of The Yale Alley Cats with members meticulously identified in each photo- if you want it, it\u2019s on their Facebook page. ;)<\/p>\n To Siva Gangavarapu, I leave you a treasure trove of memories, continuing from our random and fateful encounter in the middle school geography bee circuit to the many times we\u2019ve shared a mattress as neighbors in A wing. I leave you with the desire to prove yourself in biology and all other areas, and a future likely letter from the Colorado School of Mines. And eh, I guess I leave you with Quiz Bowl too \u2013 you can share it with the sophomores.<\/p>\n To Abhishek Sethi, I leave you with a special degree of respect and admiration that I reserve for few people. I leave you with not only an eventful year in which I saw you come into your own and find a passion for chemistry in the way that only I thought I had done before, and I fully congratulate you on it. I leave you with Science Bowl and Chemistry Olympiad to keep working towards, and to never let the idea of recognition or reward be a sole motivation in life. I also leave you JKwondra\u2019s\u00a0 Sophomore Class Club Concessions poster.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Sam Kaufman<\/strong><\/p>\n University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Class of 2017<\/p>\n Most Memorable Moments: Bucket List: Last Testament: To Taylor Herr, I leave someone for you to take food from, as well as someone to steal your homework.<\/p>\n To Josh Ajayi, I leave someone to order with, all day every day.<\/p>\n To Malachi Loviska, I leave an underclassman to mess with on demand.<\/p>\n To Steven Tan, I leave someone to give you back massages before you go win state.<\/p>\n To Sunny \u201cMunneh\u201d Shah, I leave a nickname that actually makes sense.<\/p>\n To Edward Jun, I leave all of the Asian boy swag in the world.<\/p>\n To Mit Patel, I leave the ability to always be adorable.<\/p>\n To Aniruddha Shekara, I leave the ability to also be adorable.<\/p>\n To Dan Rosenthal and Taylor Herr, I leave my beloved 1505.\u00a0 I know you guys will do great things for the hall.<\/p>\n To Scott Zelman, I leave more spirit than I\u2019ve ever seen in one single person.<\/p>\n To Will Xu, I leave someone to randomly burst into your room in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n To Tyler Pradaxay and Sankeerth Reddy, I will you a hall to live in that is a million times better than where you lived sophomore year.<\/p>\n To Becky Kleina et al., I leave someone else\u2019s abs to shamelessly grope on any given day of the week.<\/p>\n To Kayla Ingram, I leave another co-host with whom you\u2019ll have tons of fun.<\/p>\n To Karin Han, I leave everything a princess could ever need.<\/p>\n To Lynette To, I leave CAB and everything that comes with it.

You better text me during tech week about how all the actors are being drama queens, how Nicole has almost killed herself on the set 10+ times, and \u201choly cow why are people so incompetent.\u201d It\u2019s killing me to leave this club behind, but I know that I\u2019m leaving it in good hands, and that makes the whole ordeal easier.

\nI\u2019d rather not organize this in a list, as I don\u2019t think that it would do these memories justice. I firmly believe that even though I still have a home, I spent my freshman year at another school, and I\u2019ve lived in a variety of cities, I grew up at IMSA. As such, there have been many moments in the past three years that I\u2019d prefer to forget, but many more that I wish would have never ended.
