"If I’ve learned anything, it’s this: say yes to what scares you, to the things you’ve always wanted to try. Take every opportunity, even when you’re unsure if you belong in the room — you do. Let yourself savor this moment because you will never be in this exact one again." Elizabeth Valdes, Class of ’27, Communication Studies Major
