Annabel, for years I’ve watched you dig deep — leaping hurdles, seeking answers, curiously learning. I’ve watched you work as hard as anyone I’ve ever met, never yielding your perpetually positive attitude and big heart (for which I’m very proud).
It’s not often I say things like this, but you’ve earned the right to choose among the best schools in the country, and I’m excited you chose Columbia, as one of only 10 selected Science Research Fellows. I know it’s lucky to have you.
From me, your biggest fan and admirer, comes hope you keep knocking down walls, with endless intellectual exploration. Congratulations.
