However,\u00a0since I know that won\u2019t happen (even if I will it), I will you someone new to drag you out of bed fifteen\u00a0minutes before your first class starts. I also will you new sophomores that will cuddle with and love you\u00a0while I\u2019m away. You mean the world to me.<\/p>\n<p>To Ashrita Raghuram, I will a sophomore to sleep on your floor, so that you can understand the pure joy\u00a0of that friendship. I will you sleepless nights filled with laughter and a solid second semester senior\u00a0experience. I\u2019ll miss you more than you can understand.<\/p>\n<p>To Daniel Breyne, I will another friend to watch ridiculous Youtube videos and TV shows with. I will you\u00a0happiness and hugs, because I\u2019ll miss receiving yours every day.<\/p>\n<p>To Corona Tsai, I will happiness through the rest of your high school journey. I will you the ability to keep\u00a0that contagious smile on your face, even through the stressful times, because it always lit up my life.<\/p>\n<p>To Lisa Lin, I will my Drama Club family, just as my seniors passed it on to me. You\u2019re competent\u00a0backstage, so I know that you\u2019ll take good care of it. I will you more late nights spent on laughter and\u00a0math homework and all the Cuties in the world.<\/p>\n<p>To Athena Appavu, Heena Srivastava, Manojna Namudurin, Rosie Ocampo, I will an amazing year with\u00a0lots of memories. All of you brought me laughter and excitement, and I wouldn\u2019t want it any other way.\u00a0I\u2019m glad you were all placed into my wing family, and I\u2019m proud to see the beautiful women you are\u00a0becoming.<\/p>\n<p>To the rest of my lovelies in A-wing, (Nina Denne, Whitney Sloneker, Deborah Agoye, Jamie Candler,\u00a0Chinyere Kemet, Melanie Hess, Anna Barannikova, Jyotsna Bitra), I promise I didn\u2019t forget you. I will you\u00a0all the power to find a place where you belong on this campus. A-wing has been my home away from\u00a0home for the past three years, and I wouldn\u2019t have wanted it any other way. If you\u2019re staying there next\u00a0year (or if you\u2019re not), I will you another batch of the best sophomores on campus, and my Minnie\u00a0Mouse blanket. It\u2019s already embroidered :)<\/p>\n<p>To Paxton Greco, I will a twin who can empathize with the curly hair struggle. I will you a senior year\u00a0filled with Netflix, late nights and waffles at brunch. I\u2019ll miss your enthusiastic hugs.<\/p>\n<p>To Franklin Ye, I will the Senior-at-Large position. Though I was a poor example at times, I will you the\u00a0ability to stay focused and dedicated, even when times are rough. I\u2019ve seen people doubt you, but more\u00a0importantly, I\u2019ve seen the passionate way you approach the problems you\u2019re tasked with, and I have no\u00a0doubts that you\u2019ll embrace this position.<\/p>\n<p>To Madame President (Heidi Dong) and the rest of Student Council Cabinet 2015-2016, I will a successful\u00a0year with both continued traditions and new initiatives. I will your cabinet the passion to find projects\u00a0that you enjoy and success in every dimension.<\/p>\n<p>To Jill Nelson and Violet Konopka, I will my hall. I was blessed with three wonderful years here with\u00a0Katrina, as sophomores, Wing Guides and then Community Developers. I will you the strength and\u00a0passion to continue the tradition of excellence in 1502. I\u2019m just a quick call away if you ever need\u00a0anything.<\/p>\n<p>To Liam McParland, I will someone to be your other half backstage. Thank you for being mine this past\u00a0year, because I couldn\u2019t have done it without you. You deserve way more credit for keeping our \u201cbored\u201d\u00a0together than you ever received.<\/p>\n<p>To Mike Etzkorn, I will a better movie buddy. I\u2019m sorry we never got around to watching half the ones\u00a0we talked about, because I enjoyed the ones we did get to.<\/p>\n<p>To Alex Yow, I will strength. Literally. You\u2019re weak. But I also will you mental and emotional strength, as\u00a0you continue your IMSA journey. I\u2019m glad I got to know you this semester.<\/p>\n<p>To Chris Ni, Christoph Eckrich, Alec Elston, Andrew Adams, Jason Yang, I will senior years filled with an\u00a0overabundance of laughter and pranks. I was honored to know you during my years here, because every\u00a0single one of you is an amazing person with so much potential. Alec, I wish I had more time backstage\u00a0with you, because it was one of the best parts of managing Almost. Andrew, I couldn\u2019t have survived our\u00a0\u201cbored\u201d without you. Jason, your hugs and smiles made IMSAtube (and life) so much better. Christoph\u00a0and Chris, I will you another fantastic Clash season, the strength to get through it, and a boothie to run\u00a0all your cues. I love all of you and can\u2019t wait to see where you go in life.<\/p>\n<p>To John Valin, Christoph Eckrich, Jason Wu, Mitchell Sun, Aspen Wheeler, Jill Nelson, Dominque\u00a0Anderson, Gina Jiang, Faith Mejias, Phine Mejias, Amy Xie, Polina Bondarenko, David Ying, Kasey\u00a0Cervantes, Rebecca Lisk, and all the rest of the track babies, I will my team. It\u2019s come a long way since\u00a0Allie, Tera and I joined our sophomore year, and I hope you\u2019ll continue to grow the team atmosphere. I\u00a0will you the ability to run through the long track meets. It won\u2019t always be easy, but I hope it\u2019ll be worth.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, to the classes of 2017 and 2016, I will you junior and senior years that are better than you\u00a0could ever have imagined. Future seniors, I will you the ability to avoid tunnel vision as you approach the\u00a0end of your high school career, so that you can still take advantage of the opportunities here. Juniors, I\u00a0will you strength, skills and enough caffeine to keep you coherent. The path of an IMSA student is not an\u00a0easy journey, but I honestly believe it\u2019s worth it in the end.<br \/>\n<a title=\"waleed\" name=\"waleed\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Waleed Ali<\/strong> \u2013 Columbia University, Class of 2019<\/p>\n<p><em>Words of Wisdom: <\/em>Know thyself<\/p>\n<p><em>Most Memorable Moments:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The night before Brain Bee with Rajiv and asleep Vimal<\/li>\n<li>AP book scavenger hunt<\/li>\n<li>Rajiv and his Communist Manifesto story<\/li>\n<li>Rajiv at Quizbowl Nationals, and Quizbowl Nationals in general<\/li>\n<li>Dan Pechi spitting on a car<\/li>\n<li>Being the most prolific member of the Senior Quote Wall<\/li>\n<li>Getting solid with Chris Shin and Sam Cheung<\/li>\n<li>Making eggs with Cheung, Cshin, and Alex Moreno<\/li>\n<li>Cashing in 10 receipts for a free large sarpino\u2019s pizza<\/li>\n<li>Plastering the room with pictures<\/li>\n<li>12:30 with Rajiv<\/li>\n<li>Gym time with Sam Cheung<\/li>\n<li>Adrian adventures<\/li>\n<li>Rajiv realizing what Icy-Hot does<\/li>\n<li>Being a part of Goon Squad<\/li>\n<li>Chinatown with Jo-Jo and Chris<\/li>\n<li>Having Chris commit Sudoku<\/li>\n<li>Finding my good-friend<\/li>\n<li>Helping to plant trees in Victorian Fiction<\/li>\n<li>Spending time with Jenny<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Bucket List:<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Live together with Dennis Rich<\/li>\n<li>Live together with Chris Shin<\/li>\n<li>Go to space with Sam Cheung<\/li>\n<li>Wash clothes on Vimal\u2019s Abs<\/li>\n<li>Get gainz<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>Last Testament:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To Ethan Fisher: I will you the ability to learn more about Thai culture in order to impress a certain someone.<\/p>\n<p>To Aadit Shah: The ability to stress less and enjoy people more.<\/p>\n<p>To Pranav and Nathanial: I will you the leadership of history bowl team, don\u2019t study too much.<\/p>\n<p>To Aakash: I will you a few extra inches in height.<\/p>\n<p>To Jason Yang: I will you triceps bigger than your face.<\/p>\n<p>To Jason Chen: I will you USABO and a PR every single time you to the the gym<\/p>\n<p>To Nathan Errampalli: A 1st place result in Agribusiness at FBLA<\/p>\n<p>To Alex Yow: A great time with IMSA fitness next year<\/p>\n<p>To Alan Liang: A new shirt that doesn\u2019t have Tennessee, Motorola, or Harvard plastered on it.<\/p>\n<p>To Jacob Horstman: Fun with quizbowl next year<\/p>\n<p>To Sam Qian: I will you Chris\u2019s gains, and a new head of hair<\/p>\n<p>To Rish Kunageswarnan: I will you the ability to finish what you set your mind to.<\/p>\n<p>To Naren Radhakrishnan: the ability to relax and do well on MCB tests<\/p>\n<p>To Vedhik K: A shorter last name and larger gains.<\/p>\n<p>To Noor Michael: A hopefully sane quad<br \/>\n<a title=\"vikram\" name=\"vikram\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Vikram Anjur\u00a0<\/strong>&#8211; University of Illinois at Urban-Champaign, Class of 2019<\/p>\n<p><em>Words of Wisdom:<\/em> Dare to act on your dreams<\/p>\n<p><em>Most Memorable Moments:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Playing sardines in the main building at IMSA<\/li>\n<li>All those bro talks in 1507<\/li>\n<li>Winter Formal 2015<\/li>\n<li>OOP and APCS with Master Pat<\/li>\n<li>The birth of \u201cThe Big V\u201d<\/li>\n<li>ISA Holi 2015<\/li>\n<li>Bringing in bananas for a group presentation in Modern World Fiction<\/li>\n<li>Being a part of the IMSA Swim Team during senior year<\/li>\n<li>Clash of the Halls all three years<\/li>\n<li>Getting swole and building gains<\/li>\n<li>Learning all about Kendrick Lamar<\/li>\n<li>Staying up watching Archer during senior week 2014<\/li>\n<li>Playing Mafia in 1507 and on the math team bus<\/li>\n<li>Spain Intersession Trip 2013<\/li>\n<li>The awesome times from Dr. Condie\u2019s 2013 BC Fast classes<\/li>\n<li>Walking to Chipotle on Orchard<\/li>\n<li>Tuesday night dodgeball<\/li>\n<li>EBE bird and plant identification field trips<\/li>\n<li>First League game and First Pok\u00e9mon Showdown game<\/li>\n<li>Performing \u201cAdios, Robinson\u201d in Spanish IV<\/li>\n<li>HiMCM 2014<\/li>\n<li>Math team ICTM State Competition all three years<\/li>\n<li>1507 Triple fire alarm in a single night during sophomore year<\/li>\n<li>ISA Diwali 2012<\/li>\n<li>Winning a soda from IMSA Carnival 2012 and ordering Domino\u2019s to eat with it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Bucket List:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>1.

May your extensive knowledge from Dr. Fogel\u2019s APS and LinAlg\u00a0guide you through the rest of your life and mathematical career.<\/p>\n<p>To Brice Wang, I leave you with both SCS and the math team. The way you continue to\u00a0beautifully blend an intense dedication to both clubs with an inherent social outgoingness\u00a0continues to amaze me. I wish you the best of luck as you continue your journey into senior\u00a0year. Also, try to get more sleep next year, and the next time you need people to dance for\u00a0your French video, hit me up.<\/p>\n<p>To Nathan Errampalli, I will you the title of one of the nicest people that I know. Keep on\u00a0smiling, and don\u2019t let anything bring you down. Make sure that you take a break every once\u00a0in a while and hang out with your friends. Also, I expect you to go pro with your sound and\u00a0light instrument.<\/p>\n<p>To Naren Radhakrishnan, I leave you with some exemplary discipline with which I know\u00a0you will achieve great things. Whether it\u2019s earning your Eagle rank or serving on the board\u00a0of numerous clubs next year, I have utmost confidence that you will not falter from your\u00a0responsibilities. Your serving as wing guide this past year has shown me that you have\u00a0what it takes to get the job done, so keep up the great work.<\/p>\n<p>To Emily Jia, I leave you with many successes in your future mathematical endeavors at\u00a0IMSA, RSI, and beyond. Keep on swimming ahead (that\u2019s a pun- see what I did there?), and\u00a0make sure to work hard. Also, don\u2019t forget to study up on the pyloric and gastric sphincters- if I come back I\u2019ll ask you about it.<\/p>\n<p>To David Xu, I will you the title of most composed individual that I know. Despite any issues\u00a0that you may be faced with, you always promote a pleasant and even lighthearted approach\u00a0to life that is both admirable and proactive. Don\u2019t be afraid to try and reach for the stars,\u00a0and continue to make great friends along the way.<\/p>\n<p>To Jason Chen, I will you the patience to actually work ahead and take notes in your classes.\u00a0Maybe one day next year as a second semester senior, you will carry others just as you\u00a0were carried. But in all seriousness, the dedication that you portray for things that you are\u00a0passionate about (math, biology, joy, etc.) is unparalleled. Make sure to not turn up when\u00a0you go to college (wink wink nudge nudge).<\/p>\n<p>To Jason Yang, I leave you with the perennial essence of friendship. You always were,\u00a0without question, willing to listen to and talk with others. From the time when I met your\u00a0sophomore self, you have really opened up to others. You\u2019re fantastic company to have\u00a0around, and make sure to keep in touch next year.<\/p>\n<p>To Chris Ni, I will you the success to be a fantastic CD of 1507 next year. I have no doubt\u00a0that you will do your absolute best to make 07 a fantastic experience for everyone as you\u00a0have for our wing this past year, and I hope that you continue to liven up the mood with\u00a0your convivial spirit and jubilant nature.<\/p>\n<p>To Aadit Shah, I will you someone to talk to whenever you need it. I first learned about you\u00a0through your antics in AmStud, and at that point, I wasn\u2019t sure what you were actually like.\u00a0But after interacting with you over the last two years, I see that you can be focused and\u00a0confident in your work whenever you choose to be.<\/p>\n<p>To Joy Qiu, I will you great enjoyment in Mu Alpha Theta, Wind Ensemble, and Math Team.\u00a0JHMC isn\u2019t an easy task to handle by any means, and you will be the one who others look up\u00a0to next year. In Wind Ensemble, keep on leading the flute section and arriving \u201cjust on\u00a0time\u201d for class. Make sure that the math team next year doesn\u2019t get into too much trouble\u00a0(i.e. don\u2019t let the team walk through drive-throughs or keep on \u201cyo\u201ding), and as always,\u00a0continue to excel in all the math contests. Overall, it\u2019s ok (and recommended) to enjoy #sss.<\/p>\n<p>To Shane Guan, I leave you with your characteristic \u201cderpiness\u201d that you so elegantly\u00a0embody. Despite your jank ideas (like plants that grow chicken legs), you are a very\u00a0creative individual who has a dedication to his learning. I have no doubt that you will\u00a0cultivate your more realistic ideas through research and study, but make sure to stop\u00a0calling seniors sophomores.<\/p>\n<p>To Tina Zhang, I will you successful participation in both Mu Alpha Theta and math team.\u00a0You have proven that you are a very organized individual and competent mathlete, but\u00a0more importantly, you have demonstrated genuine interests in your activities. I wish you\u00a0luck next year as you help both clubs grow next year.<\/p>\n<p>To Jacqueline Vega, I leave you with SCS next year. Keep up your undying joviality with\u00a0your friends and the team, and make sure to keep on asking questions (as you already have\u00a0been). I wish you the best of luck in the years to come.<\/p>\n<p>To George Moe, I will you amazing innovation. Already as a sophomore, you have been\u00a0involved with so many initiatives here at IMSA, and I\u2019m sure that you will engage with\u00a0countless more in the years to come. Don\u2019t lose that intellectual curiosity, and let me know\u00a0how well the supercomputer functions next year.<\/p>\n<p>To Andrew Ye, I leave you with a junior year that is both very fruitful and very fun. I know that you work hard, but make sure to continue being yourself. Everyone appreciates your\u00a0politeness, and I still can\u2019t dance like you (very few IMSA students can). Keep on doing\u00a0what you love, and let me know if you have any questions next year.<\/p>\n<p>To Kyle Leano, I leave you with the saxophone section of Wind Ensemble. Keep up the hard\u00a0work, but more importantly, make sure that Tom and Rakesh do the same.

I cannot think of anyone else more qualified to embark on such a task, and I cannot wait to see and hear what you produce. Do let me know if I can ever be of assistance.<\/p>\n<p>To Hope and Faith Leslie, I will you the peace, concentration, and confidence necessary to blossom into the wonderful musicians you are already well on your way to becoming. You two have done a remarkable job in AAS this year and have shown incredible talent.

Each of you is talented in your own unique way and it is my wish that you find it within yourselves to highlight that spark.<\/p>\n<p>To Will Drennan, I will the stamina and focus necessary to become a truly amazing musician. As part of AAS, you have shown exceptional musical acuity and I hope that you will find the ability to channel it in a way which suits both your personality and your interests.<\/p>\n<p>To Catherine Drake, I will you the passion and leadership skills to help guide AAS next year, no matter what direction it takes. I am impressed by your genuine interest in music and it is my hope that with a little bit of study and introspection you will grow into a wonderful musician. While I am not sure the form in which AAS will exist next year, I hope that you will continue to take part in it and, when the time comes, to leave your own mark upon it. I also will you my German skills, as I suspect they may come in useful sometime.<\/p>\n<p>To Anabel Rivera, I will you the patience and strength to continue to thrive musically at IMSA. You are a truly extraordinary musician, and I thank you for all of the help that you have given me and AAS over the last two years. While I have no doubt that you will flourish no matter what, I encourage you to look inwards for validation and do what you think is right, musically and otherwise. I also hope that you will continue to be a guiding force in AAS in whatever form it ultimately takes.<\/p>\n<p>To everyone willing to accept it, I will my love of classical music with the hope that someone will grow to appreciate it as much as I do.<br \/>\n<a title=\"ana\" name=\"ana\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ana Curtis<\/strong> \u2013 Swarthmore College, Class of 2019<\/p>\n<p><em>Words of Wisdom: <\/em>Fake it till you make it<\/p>\n<p><em>Most Memorable Moments:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dinner from Noodles &amp; Company with the Speech team<\/li>\n<li>Watching Notting Hill with Kathryn after a bad day<\/li>\n<li>Having an impromptu dance party outside with Kayla<\/li>\n<li>Writing all over my face with eyeliner thanks to MAD stress<\/li>\n<li>Killing the baby during Victorian Fiction<\/li>\n<li>Speculating wildly about teachers\u2019 pasts during drives home<\/li>\n<li>The 06B senior room<\/li>\n<li>Having Speech team practices with Glenn and Dr. Kind and Kyle<\/li>\n<li>Sherlock and Pride and Prejudice (the good one!

When you are ready, it will show you the power of a micro-rest. Part<\/p>\n<p>of me hopes that you can learn easily what I learned painfully, but another part of me<\/p>\n<p>knows that the pain will play one of the most important roles in your development. For the\u00a0other roles, I will you insightful peers who can share many rewarding discussions with you,\u00a0whether late at night, early in the morning, or in a, dare I say it, a chamber.<\/p>\n<p>To Akshay Verma, Akash Palani, Allison Bai, Arun Arjunakani, Ben Cooper, Cam Hudgins,\u00a0Camden Ko, Dan Sohn, David Xu, Deborah Agoye, Erich Remiker, Faith Leslie, Hope Leslie,\u00a0Jacqueline Vega, John DeMastri, Josh Burke, Joy Qiu, Justin Xu, Krishi Korrapati, Kyle Parker,\u00a0Mitchell Sun, Nerione Agrawal, Raj Gurtatta, Ravali Thimmapuram, Rohit Mittapalli, Sarah\u00a0Dovgin, Tony Lu, William Tong, Yoanna Ivanova, and Yugan Sakthi, if you choose to accept\u00a0it, I will a rewarding forensics experience. May your judges make sensible choices, may\u00a0your coaches push your communication skills to new heights, and may you find affluent\u00a0obesity at team parties. I leave you the good parts of my work ethic, Anna Krzywiec\u2019s\u00a0reserve of wild impromptu topics, and all the obscure newspapers the Extemp files can\u00a0manage. You are all talented and quirky people and I hope that the speech and debate\u00a0segments of the team live in harmony next year.<\/p>\n<p>To Akshay Verma and Camden Ko, I will bros to laugh with as well as the filming, editing,\u00a0and casting resources necessary to finally top Terminal. May your exuberance and artistic\u00a0talent continue to brighten up this campus. I leave you the lyrical skills that we honed in my\u00a0short career.<\/p>\n<p>To Ashrita Raghuram and Christoph Eckrich, I will the confidence to lead in the\u00a0communities you care about. May your senior year grant you sophomores you not only\u00a0adore and respect you, but match your technical skill and insight. You are already powerful\u00a0speakers for causes that you are passionate about, but I will you the bravado to make that\u00a0passion clear to adults and students, alike. I also entrust you with you with roughly 12% of\u00a0the grand schemes and shady plots that I helped design at IMSA, as I know you will make\u00a0good use of them.<\/p>\n<p>To Auden Hinz, Dolph Rawdin, and Jack Messina, wherever you crazy kids end up, I will you\u00a0great nights with wild friends, the perseverance to make the most out of junior year, and\u00a0plenty of ping pong and Pok\u00e9mon along the way.<\/p>\n<p>To Ben Cooper, Franklin Ye, Gloria Choi, Heidi Dong, and Jin Komerska, I leave\u2026 not\u00a0enough. I hope that I have given you meaningful experiences, insights, and skills with as\u00a0little of the stress that it cost me, but as to the many things you deserve beyond that, I can\u00a0only wish. May you be blessed with a method for weaning your colleagues off of DOTA, a\u00a0device for cloaking muttered swears, free subscriptions to all the online tools your hearts\u2019\u00a0desire, fortune cookies filled with Latin quotations and Sun Tzu\u2019s wisdom, and top-notch\u00a0secret handshakes to share with each other. I hope that IMSA will grant you with\u00a0underclassmen who match your dedication and willingness to grow. I am proud to entrust\u00a0you with the other 88% of grand schemes and shady plots that have crossed my desk at\u00a0IMSA and I know that you will see more than your fair share as well. When calamities occur\u00a0and mischief transpires, I hope you will find, either in each other or elsewhere, a friend to\u00a0adequately dispose of your stress and salt to. As promised, I will you my secret resignation\u00a0letter drafts with the hope that rewriting, printing, and folding origami cranes out of them\u00a0will give you the energy to push forward\u2026 because I believe that in some ways, you are also\u00a0left with the future of IMSA.

I hope IMSA blesses you with underclassmen who can demonstrate to\u00a0you just how wild you are.<\/p>\n<p>To Calvin Zhu, Rakesh Chatrath, Tiger Shi, and Tom Wan, I will absurd quantities of sodium,\u00a0MSG, and masala powder to nourish and entertain you through all of the late nights and\u00a0early mornings that you\u2019ll need to make the most out of senior year. I will you a sophomore\u00a0with canine-like habits, a propensity for LoL, SQL capabilities, and wing guide aspirations\u00a0and charge you with keeping him (or her) from dropping out. I leave you with the ugly\u00a0blue-gradient strip at the top of Oracle Java documentation pages and hope that you will\u00a0one day embrace Arrays. I leave you the wok pot of 1505 B wing: no matter where you end\u00a0up, let it be known that you (along with Evan Sun) are its rightful heirs. Finally, I leave you\u00a0the task of choosing deserving recipients of the heirlooms that I passed on to you when\u00a0your first graced your exceptional quad. I don\u2019t like to use \u201cblanket statements\u201d with you,\u00a0but my best advice is to work hard, watch out for each other, and for the love of all that is\u00a0holy, don\u2019t forget to scratch Tiger behind the ears.<\/p>\n<p>To Daniel Curtis, I leave the sense of work ethic that I borrowed from your sister. It got me\u00a0through a lot. I hope you get to experience a lot of good in your time here.<\/p>\n<p>To David Xu, Lydia Stone, Mitchell Sun, Nick Rodriguez, and Raj Gurtatta, I will you\u00a0TALENT, Moises Goldman\u2019s business card, and the love and affection of Dr. Carl Heine Ph.D.\u00a0I look forward to seeing great things out of all of you. What lies ahead certainly won\u2019t be a\u00a0\u201cBreez,\u201d but you shouldn\u2019t feel a need to \u201cEscape.\u201d I see the \u201celeMENTs\u201d of shrewd,\u00a0innovative, and collaborative leaders in all of you and you shouldn\u2019t let anyone \u201cSwipe\u201d\u00a0that. I will you the ability to leverage Lean thinking for the good of all of IMSA, not just\u00a0entrepreneurship: remember that the idea of an MVP can make all the difference to\u00a0students who are troubled with a need to turn in perfect homework. I will you the courage\u00a0and tools to make your student board stronger. I\u2019ll be rooting you on from the innovation\u00a0and entrepreneurship promised land (IIT) and shouldn\u2019t be too hard to find if you want me.<\/p>\n<p>To Evan Sun, I leave my most cherished quality from my pre-IMSA life: the ability to\u00a0balance high-spirited humor and enthusiasm with thoughtful analysis and discussion. I\u00a0hope you will find the balance between trolling and thinking. I have great pride for how\u00a0you\u2019ve grown and how you\u2019ve dedicated your thinking to the needs of this community.\u00a0Keep reading, keep ideating, and keep cooking. You\u2019ll bring a great deal of happiness to\u00a0those around you, both now and in the future far beyond your time here. I also will you the\u00a0special deck of Pok\u00e9mon cards that Milosz passed on to me, in hopes that you will be able\u00a0to start a new 1505 heirloom. I hope your junior is a blast, just be sure to take care of\u00a0yourself (and learn more CSS than bootstrap) along the way.<\/p>\n<p>To Jair Powell, Malik Roberson, Mateusz Cikowski, and Timur Javid, I leave the Hoodlum\u00a0Staff and aspirations for enhancing campus infrastructure. I also will you my love for story-\u00a0telling and Caspa-traps so that you may induct your own sophomores into the experiences\u00a0that we shared. Be good, take turns talking, and have each others\u2019 backs: whether it\u2019s in\u00a0school, sleep, bridge-building, or casual volleyball.<\/p>\n<p>To Jake Bail, Patrick Swearingen, Dan Holley, and Josh Rosenthal, I will a cast of\u00a0underclassmen who will entertain you, enlighten you, and ensure that you see what you\u00a0were like as underclassmen. I think you guys are the ultimate wingmen on campus and I\u00a0imagine that such sophomores would benefit greatly from your mentorship.<\/p>\n<p>To Kush Gupta, I will the multiple randomly moving, one-pixel wide lines that run down my\u00a0laptop screen. You are a young man of immense talent and I hope you can channel that im\u00a0the most positive ways possible. You, Paolo, and many others owe me a few games of\u00a0Sequence and Blokus when your senior year settles down.<\/p>\n<p>To Mike Etzkorn, I would will a poker jackpot that\u2019s worth as much as your sense of humor\u00a0and golden personality, but I know that such a bounty could never be amassed. Matt and I\u00a0leave you and Mitchell the challenge of HiMCM 2015 and hope that you\u2019ll have plenty of\u00a0Arrays, Doritos, Chinese chat forums to navigate your way through it. Finally, I will you a\u00a0sibling with dramatic talent and hair textured like Liam\u2019s because I know you\u2019d mean the\u00a0world to that sophomore.<\/p>\n<p>To Neal Modi, I will you experiences with your senior compatriots that will enrich your\u00a0views and instill in you all of the good things that come with patience. I also leave you a\u00a0small state in the residence hall of your choice for you to govern ethically and respectably\u00a0while gaining a dedicatedly quirky political following.<\/p>\n<p>To Niresh Kuganeswaran and Nikhilesh Thota, I will my tie-tying abilities, a year free of\u00a0residential violations, and perhaps name tags.<\/p>\n<p>To Paolo Palacios, I will a fallen comrades shrine on IMSA\u2019s campus and a rap battle.<\/p>\n<p>To Paxton Greco and Violet Konopka, I will a loving residential community, someone to\u00a0play football with, and things that smell like Lajju.<\/p>\n<p>To Ryan Higgins, I will you the gavel that we have already shared as a reminder of how\u00a0confidence in yourself will make you strong despite what life throws in your court. You\u00a0control your own destiny, but I wish too that you will be accompanied by friends who\u00a0enrich that journey with the jokes, memories, and pizzas that you will share.<\/p>\n<p>To Sneh Patel and Vainius Normantus, I leave all of my known guards against apathy. You\u00a0have incredible sheer potential for thought, leadership, and bonding when you are\u00a0comfortable sharing it with those around you. Don\u2019t give up in the good in people and seek\u00a0the merits of every idea. I am excited to see you grow as speakers, innovators, and\u00a0upperclassmen and will you any way in which I can assist your endeavors.<\/p>\n<p>To Srivarun Tummarakota, I will a fulfilling year as a mentor to many underclassmen. I\u00a0imagine that the rigor of your schedule will be tested in the coming year, but I hope that\u00a0you will remember the relationships and experiences that you can embrace if you rise\u00a0above stress. You had the affection of your upperclassmen and I hope you will make good\u00a0on that by providing the same care for your underclassmen. I also leave you 1505\u2019s big\u00a0green Sodexo bag of puzzles, trinkets, and residential heirlooms. There are stories to go\u00a0with many of them and perhaps you\u2019ll be able to find the right sophomores for them.<\/p>\n<p>To Zach Ungerleider, I leave you a mysterious temporal anomaly known as \u201cfree time.\u201d\u00a0These pockets will appear spontaneously in places that you may not expect them, but my\u00a0expectation is that you will take advantage of them. Some of these will give you time to rest,\u00a0some will let you enjoy yourself and the company of others, but some even further still will\u00a0offer a rare opportunity for deep, reflective, and innovative thought. I admire your capacity\u00a0for exactly that and look forward to seeing you put it to good use for your community<br \/>\n<a title=\"sophia\" name=\"sophia\"><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Sophia Lam<\/strong> \u2013 Loyola University, Class of 2019<\/p>\n<p>Words of Wisdom: Be kind, have fun, enjoy life<\/p>\n<p><em>Most Memorable Moments:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Student Inquiry and Research (SIR) during Junior Year<\/li>\n<li>Every year at Clash<\/li>\n<li>Heart-to-heart chats with my besties<\/li>\n<li>Prom 2015<\/li>\n<li>Wing Dinners<\/li>\n<li>Cultural shows<\/li>\n<li>Late night movies with my besties<\/li>\n<li>Golfing with my IMSA friends<\/li>\n<li>IMSA Carnival<\/li>\n<li>1503 B-Wing Bonding Time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Bucket List:<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Grow in my relationship with God<\/li>\n<li>Stay in touch with my IMSA friends<\/li>\n<li>Stay connected with my family<\/li>\n<li>Have a great, happy career<\/li>\n<li>Give my parents the vacation they deserve<\/li>\n<li>Visit another country<\/li>\n<li>Try foods from different countries<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>Last Testament:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To Samantha Medina: I will you with my sassiness and every piece of advice to get through senior year.<\/p>\n<p>To Naima Muckom: I will you with my position as Co-President of Thousand Tongues and tons of overflowing confidence to face IMSA next year.<\/p>\n<p>To Michelle Park: As if you didn\u2019t have any already (#GOT7luv), I will you with my love of k-pop and Korean culture.

This encompasses the entirety of me, and pass it on in due\u00a0time to that sophomore you mooch food from, tell your stories to, swap clothes with, and\u00a0feel like siblings with them. I also will you my sparkly snowflakes to hang whenever you\u00a0feel like. They made me smile on a rainy day much like you have, with your glittering\u00a0personality. Finally, I will you wifi after 11:30 even though you\u2019ll officially have it next year.\u00a0Andrew Adams: I will you my copy of Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. It is by\u00a0far the coolest thing I have read to date, and plays on my love of Harry Potter, nerdy\u00a0technical things, and all things magically interdisciplinary, which I know you\u2019ll love too. I\u00a0will the ability to speak Spanish to convince Palos that we\u2019re dating. From that fateful\u00a0dinner date to the fondue date that never happened, you\u2019re always one of my favorite\u00a0people to spend time with. I will you battery-sized post it notes, no-filter conversations,\u00a0and an IOU for an actual fondue date. I will you my love of teaching, because I know it\u00a0resides within you as well.<\/p>\n<p>Aspen Wheeler: I will you someone to be excited every time they see you no matter what\u00a0mood they\u2019re in.<\/p>\n<p>Athena, and Heena: I will you the passion for dance I was able to find at IMSA. No place\u00a0other than here was I could I have this many opportunities to try different styles and be on\u00a0the stage this much. Never forget how amazing it is to be able to choreograph our visions\u00a0into realities as young as we are. When you\u2019re stressed next year, happiness is just the DNA\u00a0Hallway and a pair of speakers away.<\/p>\n<p>Cathy Chen: I will you JB, all the ducks, and my EXO Chinese Planner to use for more\u00a0posters. I have seen you at IMSA from day one, and since then you have never ceased to be\u00a0the ray of sunshine in my life. From random dance sessions, to fangirling over KPOP, to\u00a0more fangirling over KPOP, your laugh, and you ceaselessly hitting on everybody, I have\u00a0never been unhappy around you. Just like my snapbacks are my babies, you are one of\u00a0mine. You\u2019re my Dance? Dance! partner in crime, and my only Chathalin till the end of time.\u00a0I will miss you more than you know.<\/p>\n<p>Lucy Yuan: I will you my title (as given to me by Andrew Adams) of Graphic Design Queen\u00a0and a pair of gloves that look like cats for those magic designy fingers. I have always said\u00a0you are better than me and I still stick with that statement. I will you all the cute animals to\u00a0make you smile as much as you\u2019ve made me smile over these past two years. I will you my\u00a0confidence, because combined with your capabilities, you can do anything Lucy. I believe in\u00a0you wholeheartedly, and don\u2019t forget that next year I\u2019m just a message, call, or text away.<\/p>\n<p>To both Lucy and Cathy: I will you all the hugs and kisses and after check conversations to\u00a0remind you that your Mamapuj is still there cheering you on. Thank you for being my\u00a0reason to stay in 06.<\/p>\n<p>Cecilia and Sabrina: I will you each other, so that way one of y\u2019all can keep the other\u2019s sass\u00a0in check. I will you all of the endless laughs you\u2019ve given me.<\/p>\n<p>Cecilia and Yasmin: I will you a subwoofer to feel in your room to sync with your music and\u00a0keep things lively.<\/p>\n<p>Choco Cosmos (Vainius, Akash, Sagar, Joseph, Aneesh): I have loved seeing all of you grow\u00a0in eleMENT and working with you was one of the most entertaining design experiences I\u2019ve\u00a0had. I will you IMSA Power Pitch. Go and kill it next year.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Ni: I will you a matching pair of shoes, someone to always borrow a sweatshirt from,\u00a0and the closest thing to a real sibling you can have. Words cannot express how much you\u00a0are going to be one of the people I will miss on the daily next year. To be honest, I do think\u00a0of you as my little brother because throughout my time at IMSA, there has never been a\u00a0time where I couldn\u2019t depend on you to be there for me or to make me smile or to swap\u00a0clothes with or to just hang out. I will you someone to feed you for the hell of it, someone\u00a0whose voice exceeds the sound limits of yours, and someone to take naps on. I will you\u00a0someone to run into the hallways all the time, and someone to cast shiny seeds on you till\u00a0you\u2019re permanently a flower. I will you the Mexican bakery, a trip to Chicago, a jar of honey\u00a0citrus tea, and someone to bring you snacks before big tests. I would will you someone to\u00a0care for you as much as I do, but that\u2019s a hard ask, because you are my little brother.<\/p>\n<p>Christoph Eckrich: I will you someone to get you through the math struggles with for\u00a0another two semesters and endless amounts of tea (including a bag from Doc Nok) and all\u00a0the penguins. Your friendship has been one of the most constant ones I\u2019ve had, and it\u2019s hard\u00a0to put into words what all it\u2019s made of. There\u2019s the base of calculus, with a layer of Driems,\u00a0infused throughout with wonderful conversations. To the dinner dates, the hair\u00a0conversations, and the RC adventures that I\u2019ll remember fondly. I still remember you in\u00a0eleMENT, but you\u2019ve never been just an underclassman or one of my students. You\u2019ve been\u00a0my friend Christoph, the German, the long-named, the wonderful, and my favorite. Thanks\u00a0for sticking with me all this time. I will you my \u201cside-effects of working with Arjun\u201d\u00a0whatever they may be to help you create even better things than he or I could.<\/p>\n<p>Devdhi: I will you protoquad. Take care of them, they\u2019re some of the best people I\u2019ve had\u00a0the fortune of befriending.<\/p>\n<p>All my former and current eleMENT Students: I will you the entrepreneurial spirit that I\u2019ve\u00a0hopefully played a part in sparking at IMSA. You guys inspired me inside and outside the\u00a0classroom to be worthy of the talent and potential within the 36 (sorry, 37) of you\u00a0combined. Throughout your time here, you\u2019ll be faced with many choices and I will you the\u00a0ability to do things differently. Even though it\u2019s IMSA, it\u2019s not ready to handle all the\u00a0wonderful changes that you can bring about. I will you the steadfastness and perseverance\u00a0it takes to make the change, the one that I had to develop to build eleMENT. I will you\u00a0endless Dunkin Donuts and lots and lots of business cards.<\/p>\n<p>Evan Sun: From working with you in both eleMENT and StudCo, I\u2019ve seen you grow\u00a0immensely over the past year. I will you a coat and a pair of shoes so you\u2019ll actually dress\u00a0up when you go to 1871 next year. I will you the InQUIZitive minds poster as design\u00a0inspiration and to remind you that you need both sides of the brain to really be happy.<\/p>\n<p>Franklin Ye: I don\u2019t need to will you anything, because you\u2019ve earned every bit of what\u00a0you\u2019ve achieved. It\u2019s been awesome to see you transform this year, now take those skills\u00a0and transform campus.<\/p>\n<p>GChoi: I will you my portion of the title of poster bitch of cabinet. I will you the\u00a0responsibility of making sure StudCo\u2019s font choice is on point. Lastly, I will you my half of\u00a0the Wall-of-the-Week poster. You\u2019ve been one of my favorite people to see every day, and\u00a0beyond that I am happy to see you develop a strong voice. Use it, and treasure every\u00a0moment of your final year (okay I had to add a pun hehe).<\/p>\n<p>Hannah Cavagnetto: I will you my fridge stand and the lamp that cannot stand without it.\u00a0You\u2019re become the stand to my lamp this year. I will you someone to barge into your room,\u00a0make smoothies for you, and tell you that you are one of the best human beans on the\u00a0planet.<\/p>\n<p>Hannah Flatness: I will you endless stories when I visit.<\/p>\n<p>Schmeidi Dong: I will you my P-Town swag. This piece of swag exceeds most swags because\u00a0it derives itself from the purest source: Midstate. Keep repping this and pass it down to\u00a0those who you deem worthy. Words cannot explain how much I have come to respect you\u00a0and your capabilities. You doubt yourself, but I have none for you. I am so proud of what\u00a0you have accomplished and what I know you will accomplish in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Herschel: Since you\u2019re not cool enough for a snapback, I will you the top hat from Lunar\u00a0Modern.<\/p>\n<p>Jack Badalamenti: I will you a Jack beanie, so you will always and forever be beanie Jack.<\/p>\n<p>Jessica, Joy, Sarah, Faithe, Lauryn, Dominique, Jan, Katy, Cecilia, Yasmin, Alvina, Natalie,\u00a0Cindy, Sabrina, and Divya: I will you the 06D wing family. Even though some of you may be\u00a0moving to different places next year, you\u2019ll always have people to let you in after in fob-shutoff, borrow snapbacks from, get amstud guidance, and everything in between.<\/p>\n<p>Jiaobao: I will you my dance abilities in exchange for your insane art capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Jinnypoo: I will you all the naps you could ever want or need, and someone to keep you up\u00a0till 4AM telling you stories. I have seen you grow so much in this past year, and you\u2019ve\u00a0shown the strength and dedication that makes change possible. Make Mamapuj proud, 33%\u00a0of my daughter. I will you my 06 hall senator poster; plus, it\u2019s pink.<\/p>\n<p>Jon Guo: I will you all the food that I\u2019ve mooched from you and someone to say hi to during\u00a0the 10 check dash between 06 and 07.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph Palakeel and Sofia Rhode: I will you a friendship that lasts from P-Town to\u00a0graduation, because the ratchet roots are the ones that are the strongest in the end.<\/p>\n<p>JBurkaroni and Cheese (Josh Burke): I will you a (pepperoni?) pizza and an hour for us to\u00a0catch up to make up for the times we never hung out.<\/p>\n<p>JRose (Josh Rosenthal): A pair of self-tying shoes so the morning isn\u2019t as much of a struggle.\u00a0Thank you for always putting a smile on my face, and being an excellent pillow.<\/p>\n<p>Joy Qiu: There\u2019s not much to will you because quite frankly, you have it down pretty solid. If\u00a0there\u2019s anything, I will you my limited fashion sense and ability to give zero. I will you the\u00a0ability to sleep nights after watching scary TV shows and a weekend with someone in need\u00a0of that brain of yours. Thank you for all of the math help, the random life-talk sessions, and\u00a0the small moments where you make me smile.<\/p>\n<p>Julia Reynaga: I will you someone to twin with randomly and to say your name with\u00a0different pronunciations on the daily. Even though I\u2019m graduating, you\u2019ll still be my little\u00a0sibling and feel free to hit me up whenever you need a sibling next year.<\/p>\n<p>Madison Dong: I will you a unicorn hat, because you are a unicorn of a person and you\u00a0should realize how special you are. I have never met anyone like you and I encourage you\u00a0to keep whatever it is that gives you that spark.<\/p>\n<p>Melissa Bayer: I will you someone to complain about boobs with.<\/p>\n<p>Michelle Park: I will you endless packs of gum.<\/p>\n<p>Natalie Valentine: Wifey! I will you a box of green tea, the tea you actually like, because I\u00a0remembered. Nat, you are my rock, my wife, my friend, my underclassmen, all rolled into\u00a0one. I will you a god-tier shoulder to cry and sleep on and endless amounts of KPOP inside\u00a0jokes. I still am so glad you came to my wing this year, because I would not have gotten\u00a0through it without you. I will you someone to always help move your furniture and\u00a0someone to drag to concerts and pretend to be in a relationship with. There\u2019s so many good\u00a0memories I can put here, but there\u2019s no need. You\u2019re my wife, we\u2019ll have plenty to come.<\/p>\n<p>Nathan Errampalli: I will you a friend more constant than I was to you.<\/p>\n<p>Nick Damen, Mitchell Sun, Cathy Chen and Alan Ren: I will you Lunar Modern. It was\u00a0probably the best memory of my senior year and I want to see you guys kick\/slap? (Alan\u2019s\u00a0large) butt next year. Make 2014 proud and go beast on SDAC.<\/p>\n<p>Srivarun: I will you someone to harass you about talking to too many girls. I still remember\u00a0you asking me if you should go to IMSA, and I am proud of all you\u2019ve accomplished while\u00a0here. Carry on the midstate legacy well.<\/p>\n<p>Susriya Gangireddy and Taylor Reyes: I will you a storyteller.<\/p>\n<p>Vadini and Nitya: I will you a mummiji to tell you to wear clothes, call you endless amounts\u00a0of nicknames, and give you lots of hugs after check. You two have become my little\u00a0sophomores and you\u2019ll forever be my little sophomores.<\/p>\n<p>Vainius, Rebecca, and Evan: I will you the story of eleMENT and give you the responsibility\u00a0to carry on eleMENT how it should be. What makes this program special is not just the\u00a0content, but what it represents: the ability to change things. Two years ago, this never\u00a0existed and now look at where it\u2019s at. Create the environment to inspire change and show\u00a0that its possible if you put your heart into it. It\u2019s scary for me to move on, but I can\u00a0confidently say that you three are the perfect combination to carry on eleMENT\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n<p>Yoanna: I will you the shelves from my desk to serve as inspiration for whenever you don\u2019t\u00a0think something is possible, to remind you that even when things don\u2019t work out, there\u2019s all\u00a0the more reason to keep going. Fill them with books that you don\u2019t have to memorize,\u00a0memories, and maybe a splash of tea for good measure.<\/p>\n<p>Zach Ungerleider: I will you my giant plush mustache to keep our sense of whimsy in all\u00a0this \u201cinnovation\u201d and a place to nap and eat in IN2.<br \/>\n<a title=\"emily\" name=\"emily\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Emily Mu<\/strong> \u2013 Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Class of 2019<\/p>\n<p><em>Words of Wisdom:<\/em> Do What You Love\u2014No Regrets<\/p>\n<p><em>Most Memorable Moments:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Late night eats and music video making and other shenanigans with my quad &lt;3<\/li>\n<li>Class Club: I will miss our weekly meetings<\/li>\n<li>Nighttime hangouts in Boston and Springfield<\/li>\n<li>Hanging out with Dr. Condie, and hanging in his office XD<\/li>\n<li>Meditation with the roomie<\/li>\n<li>Winning wing wars all three years<\/li>\n<li>Walks and talks with various people over the years<\/li>\n<li>Sitting in Don and Kiely\u2019s offices<\/li>\n<li>All the math team memories with Joanna<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Bucket List:<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Travel the world<\/li>\n<li>Find a field I love<\/li>\n<li>Live a balanced life<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>Last Testament:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To 02 D-Wing Sophomores (Megan, Tess, Meghana, Maria, Yoanna, Gina, Lindy, Kate, Karolina, Shivali)\u2014I know that we haven\u2019t really gotten to know each other that well this past year, but I wish you the best in all your future endeavors.

I know you have the motivation and dedication to make whatever you want happen so I\u2019m going to will you the belief that everything will somehow turn out right in the end.<\/p>\n<p>To Brice Wang\u2014Brickkkkk! I think I\u2019ve known you for the longest period of time. From playing Prez on airport floors to waiting for you\u2026 continuously, I\u2019m grateful to consider you a friend. I will you more wonderful memories next year (I mean you\u2019re all coming to visit me anyway right?) and the ability to take faster showers at more appropriate times.<\/p>\n<p>To Jason Chen\u2014I feel like I didn\u2019t really know you very much at all until this year. Really, though, I think you should delete that app off your phone before something accidentally happens to your phone. Thank you for being a good sport even when I\u2019m whacking you over the head with a pillow\u2026 Anyway, I will you luck in the coming year in everything that you do.<\/p>\n<p>To Milutin\u2014It\u2019s been a pretty busy semester. Sometimes, it\u2019s hard for me to believe that I\u2019d never spoken to you until this year. Thank you for all of the memories and talks these past few months. I really admire your ability to care for all of the people that you do. I often find it difficult enough to keep track of myself. That being said, I will you the ability to take time for yourself next year and to have an incredible senior year. You deserve it.<\/p>\n<p>To Joy\u2014I don\u2019t actually remember the first thing you ever said to me, but I\u2019m pretty sure it was an insult ): At least statistically speaking. But its ok because I also have hundreds of very attractive photos of you. Remember that time at ARML when we had that photo war? I still have those pictures too. Anyway, despite the fact that you\u2019re always too lazy to walk to 06 and I\u2019m always too lazy to walk to 02, I\u2019m thankful for our friendship over the past three years. You\u2019re so incredibly intelligent, although quite nubby, and talented. There\u2019s not much I can will you beyond taking time to relax and have fun next year. Also, you\u2019d better stay in contact next year even though Boston is farther from 06 than 02 is. Love you lots &lt;3<\/p>\n<p>To Ashrita\u2014You are honestly the fifth member of our quad and I\u2019m going to miss you so much next year. From all the food parties that we have (ACTUALLY so many\u2014this is why my goals to get healthy never work) to the impromptu dance parties to all the random crazy memories (and scary ones like the dissection\u2014I STILL remember), it\u2019s still hard for me to believe that I won\u2019t be coming back to the quad next year to hang out with you. (I\u2019m not sure when this is getting published, but whenever it is, you should just move to our quad for the rest of the year). I\u2019m going to miss listening to Evania\u2019s stories with you and laughing insanely and talking about everything and anything. I might even miss the dissection. I\u2019ll try to make do though with the many videos that I\u2019ve illicitly taken over the years. Anyway, I will you a senior year filled with food parties, laughter, and good friends. Even though we will all be in different places around the world, I can\u2019t imagine ever losing touch with any of you.<br \/>\n<a title=\"erik\" name=\"erik\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Erik Nam<\/strong> \u2013 Parkland, Class of 2017<\/p>\n<p><em>Words of Wisdom:<\/em>\u00a0Grate men do Grate things.<\/p>\n<p><em>Most Memorable Moments:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nights in Kevin Li\u2019s quads<\/li>\n<li>Dancing in the rain<\/li>\n<li>Curbside popsicles<\/li>\n<li>Tennis courts Sophomore Year<\/li>\n<li>Nail Painting Sophomore Year<\/li>\n<li>Clash 2013, 2014 (winners), 2015<\/li>\n<li>Filming the Lunar 2014 show<\/li>\n<li>Nights in which the Transcripts were written<\/li>\n<li>Hypnosis attempts<\/li>\n<li>Sophomore year events with Arjun Garg, Deepika, and Haneesha<\/li>\n<li>FPS<\/li>\n<li>Homecoming Sophomore year<\/li>\n<li>Promposal<\/li>\n<li>#freenam 1 and 2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Bucket List:<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Backpacking in Europe<\/li>\n<li>Skydiving<\/li>\n<li>Cancun with old 04 crew<\/li>\n<li>Meet IU and go to her concert<\/li>\n<li>Epik High concert<\/li>\n<li>Experience a kdrama-like love scene<\/li>\n<li>Watch Grant Taric the Gem Knight William\u2019s live stream<\/li>\n<li>Go to space<\/li>\n<li>Get married<\/li>\n<li>Become friends with a celebrity.<\/li>\n<li>Write a rap with Michael Wang<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>Last Testament:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To Daniel Sohn: Dan, to you I will you many things as you have had nothing this year thanks to Kevin Li.

Just stay focused and don\u2019t lose hope because you will go far no matter where you go.<\/p>\n<p>To Kit and Kath, I will you 01. Although it can be difficult at times, there is no one I\u2019d rather have leading the hall. You are both capable of overcoming the unique challenges IMSA provides, and even though it can be frustrating at times, know that there are always people who appreciate all that you do for the hall.<\/p>\n<p>To Reid and Arthur, I will you the soccer team. Although we may not have the best record we still have a great time playing together and that positive attitude must stem from somewhere. I believe that you two will make great captains next year and by working hard and staying positive you can make the season a great one. Good luck and play hard.<\/p>\n<p>To Alex Yow, I will you luck with Junior year. It\u2019s going to be rough, but if you put as much work studying as you into working out and getting swole, you\u2019ll be fine. Also good luck with the soccer season and make sure you become the basis of the defense because there\u2019s no one who would make a better center for the defense.<\/p>\n<p>To Lauren Bystrom, I will you drill team. Your choreo was great this year and I know that you\u2019ll do a great job leading drill team next year.<\/p>\n<p>To Jeanette, I will you the responsibility of sharing twenty one pilots and other great groups will 01.

The place is truly unique and provides you with interesting experiences. Make the most of your time there and I promise you, you will not regret it.<\/p>\n<p>To Adam Grobman, I will you some sleep and a chill pill. You seem to stress out too much and Junior year will be troublesome if you\u2019re constantly stressing. Also try to get some sleep at night because every time I see you, you\u2019re asleep in the commons.<\/p>\n<p>To Jeremy Mateja, I will you the best role in the hall movie next year.

To Robert, I will you the ability to excel with math and help others whenever they might need it. To Daniel, I will you a sophomore who can create punching noises even better than you to motivate you to take your self-punching to a new level (this feat never ceases to amaze me).<\/p>\n<p>To Neha Verma and Tim Pan, I will you Chemistry Club. Seeing as you will be juniors in charge, I hope that you will be better executive council members than me and that you can grow both the popularity and status of the club throughout the IMSA community and Greater Chicago area. I also expect you guys to place nationally or help others place nationally in the U.S. Crystal Growing Competition so that a tradition may be started.<\/p>\n<p>To Noor Michael (Neph), Naren Radhakrishna, Vedhik Koganti, and Alan Liang, I will you a legendary senior year in 07BDQ where you can carry on the legacy of the BQOC. Bwing has become a better wing since my sophomore year and I expect that all of you will continue to improve it and see that it flourishes next year.<\/p>\n<p>To Noor Michael, I will you the ability to spend some quality time with your Uncle in Nebraska and have random potlucks in your fist hour classes.<\/p>\n<p>To Naren Radhakrishna, I will you the ability to deal with and contain Squatty. I still remember the days when I would come to your room last year to just chill and mess with Alan.<\/p>\n<p>To Vedhik Koganti, I will you a junior who is just like you. Someone who is down to adventure and play games, is incredibly kind and caring, and who always seems to have to be clutching something. B-wing felt different after your departure earlier this semester and I hope that you can once again fill that hole (and more hopefully) when you return. Also, you should find a group of bros and play some more Ghosts in the Graveyard.<\/p>\n<p>To Alan Liang, I will you the ability to save your food so that it doesn\u2019t all get eaten by friends and strangers when you come back Sunday afternoon. I do understand generosity, but this behavior is excessive. At some point, you need to be more selfish about that. Speaking of which, I would also like to will you someone who will need help with his Spanish diarios. You have been a great pupil of mine and I have really enjoyed working with you throughout the year. It\u2019s your turn to give back to someone else. As the final member of 07BDQ, I think it\u2019s important that you relax more than you already do. I hope that you start drumming more or playing more piano like you did sophomore year. I\u2019m really glad that we\u2019ve got to spend some quality time over the last few years and hope that we have a few more adventures in the months\/years to come. Lastly, I will you the ability to contact me at any time during the day and receive an instant response. You have my utmost respect and are someone who I can legitimately call \u201cmy friend.\u201d Also, I will you a fabulous time in Spanish V.<\/p>\n<p>To Daniel Costa, I will you a tennis team that is chill, competent, troll, and as fun as the team we had this year. Though plenty of schools probably hate us for unnecessary pegs and trolling, I still think that the Boys Varsity Tennis Team is one of my favorite communities at IMSA. I hope that your backhand volley becomes op and can go to state for singles or doubles, whichever you end up playing.<\/p>\n<p>To Jospeh Palakeel, I will you the ability to go to state your junior and senior years for tennis. Though I may not always have been a good upperclassman towards you throughout the year, I have come to appreciate you chill nature and sense of humor. You have been a great addition to the tennis team and I think you will be next season\u2019s \u201cPeg Game\u201d champion.<\/p>\n<p>To Krishi, I will you the ability to go to state during your junior and senior years for tennis. Your enthusiasm, athleticism, \u201cfighting spirit\u201d on the court is unparalleled and with a bit of training, you could succeed at state. Also, you should Snapchat me more than Jay Jay because I am totally more awesome and we go way back from the Iles days.<\/p>\n<p>To Rish Kuganeswaren, I will you the ability to win \u201codds\u201d on Peoria bus rides. Though the combination of cheating to make you think that you lost and you just being really unlucky made for some entertaining bus rides, everyone should win sometime. Additionally, I hope that you thrive with chess and enjoy senior year.<\/p>\n<p>To Elysia, I will you someone who will reciprocate your \u201cyaaasssses.\u201d Yaaaasssssss, Elysia.

I know you\u2019ll do great things next year, and don\u2019t stress too much. I promise senior year is a lot more fun after college apps &lt;3<\/p>\n<p>To Keelyn O\u2019Brien, Trennedy Kleczewski and Violet Konopka, I leave you yearbook. Make it as great as I know it can be, and don\u2019t let anyone tell you that it doesn\u2019t look good. I promise, even when you want to scream because of your staff, you will be proud of what you\u2019ve accomplished at the end of it all.<\/p>\n<p>To Alex Murarus, I leave my sanity and my #whitegirlstatus playlist. Whenever you question why you came to IMSA, just have a dance party with the songs and I promise you will feel better. Don\u2019t let college apps get you down and don\u2019t freak out over school. I promise, you will get into college and you can leave everything behind once you graduate. I hope you find someone to yell through the quad door to (if you end up in a quad again) and don\u2019t ever stop blasting your (sometimes weird) music.<\/p>\n<p>To the juniors that chill in the math study area, I leave you the ability to be obnoxious when people (*cough* like Katrina *cough*) are taking tests. I also leave 10 billion power strips because somehow they always manage to disappear.<\/p>\n<p>To Ashrita, I leave you someone to freak out over Scandal and Grey\u2019s Anatomy with on Fridays. Please don\u2019t let Shonda Rhimes kill anyone else off, and if she does, I hope you have someone to cry with.<\/p>\n<p>To Paxton, I leave you all the time in the world to go annoy Gentz. And also someone else to save your life. Because I won\u2019t be in the pool to do that for you. I hope you find time to go to open swim your senior year and practice the god awful brick test. I love you and take care of KI.<\/p>\n<p>To 06C, I don\u2019t know how I\u2019m going to survive next year knowing that I won\u2019t be walking into C wing every night. It\u2019s been my home for the last 3 years and honestly I\u2019ve probably spent a little too much time in it. I hope you have great sophomores next year that will spend time in the wing, lead them well and always leave your room open for them to crash in after lights out. Keep participating in events (even if they\u2019re sometimes lame) and don\u2019t forget to make sure there\u2019s no paper in toaster oven before you use it.

I wish you the most exhilarating mathematical journeys, and I hope\u00a0that you remember, always remember, the +C.<\/p>\n<p>To Angelina Liao (again), I will the perseverance to write me a collection of 100 short\u00a0poems.

I\u2019ll always remember\u00a0the days I came to your room (helping you break in room ;)) and all of our long talks about\u00a0guys, life- and of course our amusing Dr. Prince stories. Even though I haven\u2019t seen you\u00a0much in the struggle your junior and my senior year, know that you can always come to me\u00a0for anything &lt;3 I can\u2019t wait to come back and visit you next year and hear about all the fun\u00a0you have during your senior year. If anyone deserves a wonderful senior year and a\u00a0successful future, it\u2019s you.<\/p>\n<p>To Neal Modi, I will you confidence (and all of the college acceptances you could ever ask\u00a0for). You are the most hardworking person I know, and in a few months, I know that all of\u00a0your sleepless nights and stressing over every test will finally all be worth it. Ever since\u00a0that awkward moment when I didn\u2019t accept you on Facebook during junior year, I\u2019m so\u00a0glad I got to know you during summer SIR (along with summer SIR Crew) and no matter\u00a0how much you doubt yourself now, just remember that you\u2019ll always have someone who\u00a0knows how competent, sweet, and hardworking you are. I can\u2019t wait to hear about all of the\u00a0successes your life has to bring.<\/p>\n<p>To Nathan Errampalli, I will you the ability to take care of yourself the way you take care of\u00a0others. Ever since I\u2019ve gotten close to you, I was easily able to see how much you care about\u00a0everything that you do and everyone around you. I\u2019ll miss your consolation and reactions\u00a0to all of my stories and I\u2019ll miss stopping in the hallway to talk to you or plan out times to\u00a0hang out, but you better come visit me at UChicago next year so I can hear about your dark-\u00a0horsery and adventures with Angad (RIP to our walking trifecta).<\/p>\n<p>To Faithe, I will you someone to tell of your stories to and a restful senior year. I have\u00a0always admired your chillness about everything, and I\u2019ll miss hearing all of your ravishing\u00a0stories about literally everything. You always brighten up my day and I really hope that\u00a0you\u2019re able to care of yourself senior year and sleep 10 hours and have the worst senioritis,\u00a0because you really deserve it. I knew that from 06B to 06D we were meant to be, and I can\u2019t\u00a0wait to come visit you next year and hear the million stories that you\u2019ll have to tell me.\u00a0Maybe in a few years, I\u2019ll be visiting you at Berkeley instead ;)<\/p>\n<p>To Harith, I will you a permanent girl who will always brighten up your day, like you have\u00a0brightened up mine. Since I\u2019m finally able to remain your friend on facebook, I better see\u00a0my inbox full of the crazy adventures and stories that I know you\u2019re going to have next\u00a0year. You have to come visit me at UChicago next year since you\u2019re not doing an SIR, and\u00a0you still have to take me with you to your Malayali church! If you ever feel down or need\u00a0someone to accidentally call you at 9, you can always find me.<\/p>\n<p>To Hannah Chaddha, I will you the ability to rap like my girl Nicki Minaj. But for real, I\u00a0admire your optimism and willingness to take risks. I don\u2019t even need to will you\u00a0happiness, because I know you\u2019ll always find a way to always experience it. Your vibrant\u00a0personality is enough to carry you far enough, and as always, I\u2019ll look for more snapchats of\u00a0you randomly dancing or doing the splits.<\/p>\n<p>To Joey and Josh, I will you the determination to bring together SCIA and LEAD and fulfill\u00a0the dream that I wasn\u2019t able to this year. Joey: I know you have everything it takes to\u00a0succeed (intelligence, charisma, determination), but make sure you take time to have fun\u00a0and do whatever amidst all of the SCIA president-y stuff you\u2019ll be doing. Josh: I\u2019ll miss your\u00a0snarky responses in Ethics and our serious but \u201ctrolly\u201d talks, and I really hope that you\u2019ll\u00a0continue updating me about all of the important LEAD stuff you\u2019ll be doing next year.<\/p>\n<p>To Sachin, I will you someone to help with graph theory. I can\u2019t even remember how I got\u00a0to know you, but not only are you one of the smartest people I know, but one of the most\u00a0caring and kindest ones too. Even though I haven\u2019t had much time to talk to you this year,\u00a0I\u2019ll miss seeing you around with Devdhi and I\u2019ll miss our serious talks. Remain the same,\u00a0and nothing but success will come to you.<\/p>\n<p>To Herschel, I will you someone to trip in the hallways and make fun of. Over this year,\u00a0you\u2019ve become one of my favorite sophomores and even though I pretend to hate you and\u00a0make faces at you in the hallway, I\u2019ll actually miss you a lot. I hope you have fun in your\u00a0(hopefully 07) quad next year, and if you ever need advice, some fun college stories to hear,\u00a0or someone to relentlessly make fun of, I\u2019ll be a message away.<\/p>\n<p>To Nitya and Vadini, I will you good luck and cute little baby sophomores to hug every day\u00a0at check. You both remind me so much of myself sophomore year, and I know that you\u2019re\u00a0hardworking and intelligent enough to succeed through junior year, and before you know\u00a0it, you\u2019ll be seniors. Time passes faster than you think, so make the most of every day, and\u00a0never regret anything you do, because you\u2019ll realize that everything happens for a reason. I\u00a0can\u2019t wait to come visit you guys next year and see how much you\u2019ve grown over the past\u00a0year.<\/p>\n<p>To Daniel Sohn, I will you the ability to work your car\u2019s GPS and a better direction-reader.\u00a0I\u2019ll miss hearing about your struggles, but I know that you\u2019ll have a super fun senior year. I\u00a0hope you\u2019ll visit Naperville often during the summer and that you can find something more\u00a0satisfactory to eat this time.<\/p>\n<p>To Varun Iyer, I will you the ability to continue being unfairly intelligent. Your skills and\u00a0natural intelligence will make you successful, no matter what choices you make throughout\u00a0your senior year and college. Maybe one day, you\u2019ll be able to join the main baes, but until\u00a0then I guess Grace, Vivian, and I can take you to the temple and Ihop with us.<\/p>\n<p>To Sagar, I will you a real FPS team. I\u2019m so glad I got to know you by making you our little\u00a0FPS minion this year. I\u2019m going to miss saying hi to you every day and seeing you around in\u00a006 commons and talking to you about random things. You are one of my favorites and I\u2019ll\u00a0definitely expect to see tons of messages from you next year telling me about FPS and life in\u00a0general.<\/p>\n<p>To Aakash, I will you a sophomore who will jump-hug you in the middle of the hallway.\u00a0Even though we haven\u2019t talked much in the past semester, I know that you\u2019ll always be\u00a0successful in the future, no matter how rough things may be right now. Even though you\u00a0may not realize it, you\u2019re so intelligent and the fact that you\u2019re always working is so\u00a0admirable.

Don\u2019t worry so much about life, take it as it goes. No one can tell you what you can and can\u2019t do. No one knows the future, but if I can be sure of anything you will surpass all your goals.

I also will you my ideas of how to ask a girl to a dance.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah D:\u00a0Sarah, keep working hard I will you a great senior year, with Nathan and all your other friends, and I also will you all of Nathan\u2019s pictures from our summer VS trip.<\/p>\n<p>Adrian B: Adrian it was great getting to know you this year; you\u2019re a smart kid and you work really well and I know you won\u2019t have many struggles next year as a junior. So I will you an awesome, stress-reduced junior year at IMSA.<\/p>\n<p>Harith A:\u00a0Harith, you were probably the sassiest kid we had in A wing last year and you probably still are. Though you got on my nerves a lot, I guess I kind of miss your antics and your sassy demeanor, so for that I will you rights to view my Facebook again.<\/p>\n<p>05 A Up-Quad:\u00a0I will you the ability to make whatever wing you guys are in awesome and the ability to make it a place where people always come to hang out and get to know how chill you guys are.<\/p>\n<p>Gabe J:\u00a0Gabe, you\u2019re the second best person at messing with Tavis after me so, for next year, I will you to be the best Tavis terrorizer.<\/p>\n<p>Tavis R: I will you some of my webtech and computer skills, because you need them.<br \/>\n<a title=\"katrina\" name=\"katrina\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Katrina Toman<\/strong> \u2013 University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Class of 2019<\/p>\n<p><em>Words of Wisdom:<\/em> Sometimes you really just needed a nap.<\/p>\n<p><em>Most Memorable Moments:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The French Students visiting<\/li>\n<li>Participating in Almost Maine<\/li>\n<li>2015 Clash Pep Rally<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Bucket List:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>1.

It\u2019s a great hall. I know that I leave it in\u00a0prepared hands. Violet, you\u2019re my mini me so truly it was destiny that I\u2019d hand the hall down to\u00a0you. You\u2019ll do a phenomenal job. You\u2019re sweet and friendly and greet life so happily! I know\u00a0you\u2019ll do a wonderful job. Jill, I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve ever met and I really wish that we had! From\u00a0what I\u2019ve been told, though, you\u2019ll be great for the position. I wish you both the best of luck :)<\/p>\n<p>To next year\u2019s 1502 RSL Team- I leave you 1502. It\u2019s a great hall, full of some really fantastic\u00a0people. Work together. Help make the year more fun for everyone. Remember not to take\u00a0yourselves too seriously. Enjoy being an RSL. It\u2019s one of the best things you can do at IMSA.<\/p>\n<p>To Ashrita (Duck), Paxton (Buck), and Jin (Chuck)- I leave you my laundry cards. Sounds weird I\u00a0know, but upperclassmen of my past had previously left me their laundry cards and with those\u00a0cards came a lot of wisdom. As your mother, I won\u2019t be on campus anymore to offer my\u00a0motherly advice but I am always a phone call away. Also, I\u2019m giving you to encourage you three\u00a0to keep having clean clothes. (Not that you don\u2019t already. So keep up the good work. Smelling\u00a0good is great.) All three of you have made these past two years two of my favorite. Thanks for\u00a0being some of the best goofs I know.<\/p>\n<p>To Rosie, Mano, Athena, and Heena \u2013 I leave you 02ADQ. I know that housing isn\u2019t out yet and\u00a0you may not end up in the down quad, but more than anything I leave you the spirit of 02ADQ.\u00a0Support each other. Make each other laugh. And make each other do work on time!<\/p>\n<p>To Tam- I leave you team Tam and Trina. There will never be greater teams than those. You\u2019re\u00a0hardworking and I have entire faith that you\u2019ll be able to take on the world. Keep those teams\u00a0in check :)<\/p>\n<p>To Mara- I leave you the mentality of the bass clarinet cues that I\u2019ve played while you weren\u2019t\u00a0in band. What\u2019s that mean you may ask? It means not resting for a few more measures that you\u00a0may have rested. Take on senior year by storm. Enjoy it. Don\u2019t rest. Just jam.<\/p>\n<p>To my KI crew (Ashrita, Alec, Chris, Andrew, Paxton, Violet, Keelyn, Alex, Melissa, Jonathon,\u00a0etc.) &#8211; I leave you Allies. That program shaped me more than I could ever describe. What I ask of\u00a0you all is to make it into a program that will continue to do that over the years. Don\u2019t lose hope\u00a0in it. It\u2019s going to be tough, you\u2019ll all be seniors and I know that it can be frustrating. But\u00a0remember why you participate in it. It\u2019s for the campers. It\u2019s for the next group of eager kids\u00a0who are ready to learn. Take it easy on the Gapples this summer, I hear that they aren\u2019t so bad\u00a0after all. Also, please interpretive dance still. Ol\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>To the saxophone section- I leave you the spirit award. Keep up being ridiculous. Keep being\u00a0one of the most absurd sections. Keep goofing off during sectionals. Being in the saxophone\u00a0section actually made me able to deal with band.<\/p>\n<p>To 02A- I leave you the hope that you\u2019ll continue to be the fantastic wing that we\u2019ve always\u00a0been. I loved living with you all. I truly can\u2019t imagine better people to have been next door to.\u00a0Thank you for making coming back to the wing always a wonderful experience.<\/p>\n<p>To 02- I leave you my thanks. You\u2019ve been there for me since the stumbles of sophomore year,\u00a0the stress of junior year, and the struggles through senior year. I\u2019m going to miss calling you my\u00a0home.

To\u00a0my 2013 kiddos, I\u2019ve seen you guys come such a long way from your Excel days and seeing\u00a0some of you present during IMSAloquium reminded me of how much you\u2019ve all changed\u00a0and grown. I hope as you find yourself in the college applications process next year, you\u00a0don\u2019t let other people bring you down for being part of this program. I wish you all the best\u00a0of luck and know you will all survive because you\u2019ve all been through 3 weeks of struggle.<\/p>\n<p>To my 2014 babies, I still regret only having 2 weeks but you all have also changed a lot.\u00a0Seeing you guys navigate yourselves through the ups and downs of sophomore year have\u00a0put things into perspective for me. I\u2019ve come to realize that sophomore year is a personal\u00a0journey that everyone has to go through but I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll come out of this year with a\u00a0better understanding of yourself. Don\u2019t let Excel become a stigma because it breaks my\u00a0heart when I hear you guys doubting and undermining yourselves. You are all talented and\u00a0wonderful people and I\u2019d just like to thank everyone for being part of something I hold so\u00a0dear. As Porzio says, you all will do well.<\/p>\n<p>To Kyle Parker, Jyotsna Bitra, Alec Elston, and Lucy Yuan, I will you all great math\u00a0tablemates. I don\u2019t think I could have ever passed Prince\u2019s MI4 or BCII without the great\u00a0support and entertainment you all provided me. Thanks for all the laughs and help \u2013 I\u2019ll\u00a0forever remember Kyle\u2019s pep talks with Deepika and Alec\u2019s strange accent saying \u201chor\u00a0d&#8217;oeuvres\u201d. May you all have great success in your future mathematical endeavors.<\/p>\n<p>To Katie Coltharp, Raj Gurtatta, and Justin Orr, I would will you guys a great Excel but I\u2019m\u00a0pretty sure none of you are planning on doing it this year for reasons like SIR. Though I\u2019m\u00a0sad you guys might not do it again, I want to thank you for all the wonderful memories of\u00a0July 2014. You are all great tutors and you will all go so far in the future. I just hope that if\u00a0you ever find yourself watching \u201cWe are the Millers\u201d or getting yelled at at the museum,\u00a0you think back to Excel.<\/p>\n<p>To Cristal Q., I will you a successful senior year and the future of 1503. I\u2019ve loved getting to\u00a0know you in the past two years and your positive attitude has done so much for our wing.\u00a0You were a fantastic wing guide and I know you\u2019ll be an even better CD. Keep morale high\u00a0in 03 next year and make the community even stronger. Also, I hope you take care of\u00a0yourself next year and have fun because I always see you working hard and always putting\u00a0in 100% effort in everything you do. This is from Sarai cause she\u2019s too lazy to write her\u00a0own: I will you the greatest senior year ever. You will do amazing as a CD and I can\u2019t wait to\u00a0see all the great things you do at IMSA, in 03, and eventually in college. I\u2019m so glad you were\u00a0my co and will definitely miss you next year.<\/p>\n<p>To Joseph Palakeel, I will you more time to play tennis and more OOTD shots on your insta.\u00a0Oh, and also a new bestie for next year. It was great getting to know you as an Excel baby\u00a0and having chill conversations with you. I\u2019m sorry we didn\u2019t get to hang out as much as we\u00a0wanted to and for not being a great bestie. If you ever need someone to talk to next year as\u00a0you go through junior year struggles, feel free to give me a call because I\u2019ll always be there.<\/p>\n<p>To Elysia Sawyers, I will you a sophomore to call you \u201cMama Elysia\u201d. You\u2019ve always been the cutest with your baby hands and I\u2019ll miss your hugs. Thanks for always brightening my\u00a0day and I believe that you\u2019ll be the greatest organic chemist in the world.<\/p>\n<p>To Milutin Perovic, I\u2019m not yet quite sure what I\u2019ll will you. It\u2019s hard to think of something\u00a0to give to the best little brother I\u2019ll ever have. There isn\u2019t enough space in this will to\u00a0completely say everything I want to say to you. I remember the first time we walked\u00a0around with Evania and thinking \u201cwow, this is a really cool kid\u201d. Watching you grow up\u00a0from that summer to now has been amazing. I\u2019m not sure if you\u2019ve realized how much\u00a0you\u2019ve grown but it\u2019s been tremendous. You\u2019ve always been patient and kind and a really\u00a0great friend to have. I\u2019m so glad we started talking again this year because you\u2019re one of my\u00a0best friends. I\u2019ll miss you a lot next year and you should expect something more from me in\u00a0the near- distant future. I guess for now, I\u2019ll will you that promise you wanted.<br \/>\n<a title=\"ryan\" name=\"ryan\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ryan Yang<\/strong> \u2013 McGill University, Class of 2019<\/p>\n<p><em>Words of Wisdom:\u00a0<\/em>Do what makes you the happiest.<\/p>\n<p><em>Most Memorable Moments:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stargazing on Yare<\/li>\n<li>Smash vs. the Buffalo<\/li>\n<li>SCC elections with Vinesh<\/li>\n<li>Early Morning Drill Team Practice<\/li>\n<li>Tim Gietl Hunting Jo-Jo as research for his paper<\/li>\n<li>Heidi and Paul\u2019s Sophomore at Large interviews<\/li>\n<li>Tim Bringing a Pool Into our Room<\/li>\n<li>Outdoor Indoor with Vimal Bellamkonda<\/li>\n<li>Late Nights During Clash Week for Every Event<\/li>\n<li>Feasts with A-Down Quad<\/li>\n<li>BBQ at Mama Yang\u2019s<\/li>\n<li>Post-Haunted Locker Chipotle<\/li>\n<li>Late Nights with My Roommates Jo-Jo and Jason<\/li>\n<li>Making Breakfast with Chris Ni<\/li>\n<li>Lunar New Year Modern<\/li>\n<li>Kabaddi<\/li>\n<li>Finally Winning Clash for the First Time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Bucket List:<\/em><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Get onto a dance crew.<\/li>\n<li>Visit and Tour Europe<\/li>\n<li>See a Broadway Show<\/li>\n<li>Go to the Bowery Poetry Club<\/li>\n<li>Visit IMSA and see the new LEAD Team, Mod21 singers, and RSL team in action.<\/li>\n<li>Volunteer Overseas<\/li>\n<li>Go On an Anti-Gravity Flight<\/li>\n<li>Travel with Friends in China<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><em>Last Testament:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>To Christoph and Chris Ni, I will you the 2 1507 signs and the Transmission Poster.

Chris, keep being spontaneous, creative, and weird because then you will make 07 even better next year. We really got close this year, and I\u2019ll really miss having my Chinese bud to share food with, cook with, and hang out with.

You\u2019ve really been the epitome of a compassionate friend, and hanging out with you has never been less than a great time.

Thanks for keeping me company in room all this time, and I know that I the future you will continue to grow as an individual because you\u2019ve already improved so much since sophomore year. On the note of growing, I also will you the motivation to start fixing your posture because that will also help you grow in a more literal sense.<\/p>\n<p>To Alec Elston, I will you a cooking pan. You are one of the kindest people I\u2019ve met during my time at IMSA, and you sharing food has been just one of the many ways that I\u2019ve seen you show how much you truly care. Next year, I will miss your presence in my room because you\u2019ve added nothing but fun, smiles, and bad smelling feet whenever you come. I love you bud, stay strong for senior year. Keep spreading your infectious smile and attitude to others, and try not to throw too much shade.<\/p>\n<p>To Andrew Adams, I will you the \u201cBird Alrighty\u201d letters and my 25 cent blazer. Why? Simply because you, your well-dressed self and your well-decorated room deserve even more memories to share. I will you someone to listen and talk to you because the ideas, stories, and tea that you share really have made my senior year a lot more interesting. I hope that you handle your responsibilities senior year well, and I will you time for yourself to grow as an individual and just enjoy yourself.<\/p>\n<p>To Susriya Gangireddy, I will you a smile and warmer hands. My almost co, you have really been such a great friend, and though we don\u2019t talk nearly enough, you\u2019ve really been a big part of my senior year. Choir wouldn\u2019t have been interesting at all without you, and while you say I inspired you, I truly found you to be the true inspirational figure. If you ever need me for anything, feel free to talk to me because while I won\u2019t get to see you every day, I\u2019ll just be a message (or Snapchat) away.<\/p>\n<p>To Andrew Ye, I will you a great future drill team. Seeing you dance has been such a pleasure, and I\u2019m glad that you spent time in my room. I\u2019m looking forward to seeing how much your breakdancing, choreography, and other dance skills are going to grow from dance team and your own work. You\u2019re so much more skilled than I ever was as a sophomore and I\u2019m glad that I got to work with you to get a high score in Twin Peaks.<\/p>\n<p>To Jack Badalamenti, I will you a new room to occupy, and a bed of which you can occupy 90% of the space on. You\u2019re a great guy, and while you only started coming to my room second semester, I\u2019m happy I got to know you. I hope that you and your dank memes continue to grow on campus (maybe not as much for you dank memes), and you find a happy place when you\u2019re in a half awake state. I also will you a golden pillow so that you have something to bring to whatever room you\u2019re in next year.<\/p>\n<p>To Seong Jessica Park, I will you a senior year that isn\u2019t so stressful. You work so hard, and you were such a great co to work with throughout the year. I was really lucky to have you, and your passion, speaking ability, and dedication I\u2019ve admired during out time working together. If you ever need anything, reach out to me because first semester year can still be a stressful time, but its manageable for sure, and I know if there\u2019s anyone that can handle it, it\u2019s going to be my co.<\/p>\n<p>To Dan Costa, I will you the leadership Donkey poster. Working with you has been a joy, and the crazy ride that has been our LEAD class this year wouldn\u2019t have been the same without you. I wish you the best of luck with Mod21, Tennis, and all of the work that will be a part of your senior year. You\u2019ve been great, and your passion towards music and tennis has been inspiring.<\/p>\n<p>To Daniel Breyne, I will you free hugs. You\u2019re a great guy, and I hope that you continue to offer your kindness and affection to those around you. When you have sophomores of your own, I know that you will really make them feel welcome. Hanging out with you first semester and in Mod has been a blast, and I hope that you continue to sing because your voice is great.<\/p>\n<p>To Div(YA) Dureja, I will you a new Mod21 best friend. I\u2019m sorry for bothering you so much in Mod and Choir, but you\u2019ve made me laugh and smile with your commentary and enthusiasm. Your amazing singing voice has never failed to impress me, and I hope I get to see you in a collegiate a cappella group in the future because I know you\u2019re going to rock junior and senior year.<\/p>\n<p>To Herschel Gupta, I will you a winning drill team. Your ability to dance has been so impressive, and I know you and Andrew next year can make drill team into a winning one. It\u2019s been great working with you on everything from Guna\u2019s promposal to Clash talent show, and I hope you one day figure out that back flip.<\/p>\n<p>To Varun, Nikitha, and Krishi, I will you a LEAD class of your own. I\u2019m so proud of all of you for making it onto the LEAD team. All of you have done such great work in class, and I\u2019m excited for what you end up accomplishing with your own future LEAD classes. I\u2019m glad to have had all of you in my class because it has been a great time, and you\u2019ve all impressed me almost every day in class. Best of luck to you all in all of your future endeavors because I know you\u2019ll be doing big things with your junior and senior years.<\/p>\n<p>To Aditya Budthi, I will you a visit to my room because while you\u2019ve slept over in 07 so many times already, you still haven\u2019t visited my room. It\u2019s been such an experience seeing you from your humble beginnings as a touring student at orientation, scared sophomore in Nav, and then LEAD student. I\u2019ve seen you grow so much, and you\u2019ve impressed me with your abilities in singing and speaking. While I really wish you were in my hall next year, if I\u2019m back on campus sometime next year, I better see you around. Best of luck with your own LEAD class, and I hope to see some great progress when I see you as a junior.<\/p>\n<p>To Robert Lou, I will you some body rolls. You\u2019ve been such a joy to have around, and I\u2019m not even surprised that you made it onto dance team. I\u2019m glad I had such a great person to chill whenever we sectionalize in choir, and your solos are great to listen to during Mod21. When I visit I want to see your moves, because I think you\u2019re going to grow so much with dance team, Mod and LEAD.

Never let that spark die down within you, no matter how frustrated or upset you may get. It may seem like there is no point anymore; it may seem like nothing you do works; you must never give up on something that means so much to you. I believe that you girls can change the face of IMSA tennis; be that change.<\/p>\n<p>To Bella Reda \u2013\u00a0I will you the ability to burn bridges and forget about the haters. As much as we butt heads, you remind me of myself. Never let your fire die down; you are a queen and deserve the best.
