Words of Wisdom for the Class of 2024: Your time at Bryn Mawr will teach you many things, but, above all, let it teach you how to be a loving, positive advocate for yourself, your happiness, and your passions, and your world. Use the lessons you learn about valuing yourself and all your contributions to reach out and form connections. The relationships, friendships, and mentorships that you are about to form will be the most beautiful gifts that the school can possibly give to you. Cherish them as deeply as you can, and seek to give back when and where you can. Your time at Bryn Mawr will go by impossibly quickly, but the bonds you create will endure when they are nurtured with positivity, care, and thoughtfulness. 

People I want to thank: Above all, I would like to thank all of the professors in the French Department, with special thanks and appreciation given to Professor Armstrong, Professor Le Menth茅our, and Cristophe Corbin. I would also like to thank Kelly Gavin-Zuckerman of the Education Department, and Rachel Heiser, the leader of the Peer Mentors. I would like to thank all the staff of Bryn Mawr Dining Services for helping me find a second home on campus, with particular appreciation extended to Steven, Shana, Maly, Richard, and all the members of NDDH's Full-Time Staff who made working so wonderful. Finally, I would like to thank my friends and family for being constant sources of love and support in my life and through the course of my studies.
