Hi Boni, it's been a while. About four years?

Right now your major is in international business, and you're taking Chinese. I bet that was difficult, but I hope you kept up with it and you really enjoy what you do every day.

I hope your thirst to learn is still unquenchable, and you seek the truth over what false realities you hope for. Don't be afraid to learn, use fear and knowledge as tools to motivate you to make change where change is due.

You've always kept a small friend group, but I hope that changed over the years. You're shy right now, but in four years I'm sure you have blossomed into (somewhat) of an extrovert.

I hope everyone in your life treats you like you deserve to be treated, and you stop accepting anything less than that. You are patient, kind, and forgiving, and people tend to take advantage of that.

You assume the best in people so you don't know when to look for red flags. Be aware of who you let into your heart, and don't trust too easily.

You have changed a lot as a person in these four years. I'm sure your viewpoints on politics, relationships, and goals are all different now, and that's good. I hope you changed in order to better yourself, and never to please others.

Be open to change, but don't let yourself alter important morals just to make someone happy. Change for yourself, or if you are satisfied with your life then don't.

It's always been a goal of yours to be your own person, who doesn't care what people think, so be exactly the person you want to be, without fear.

I hoped this helped you, or at least made you laugh or smile at all the choices you've made along the way that brought you to this point. Good luck with everything you do, and congratulations class of 2023!
