Dear senior Searra,

Wow, you made it!  You finally made it through college! Whether you are still a nursing major or not, there is no doubt in my mind that you are doing amazing things in life.  Never forget where you came from and how far you have come.  Always remember the people who have been there for you through thick and thin and supported you no matter what.  Also, remember all of the amazing accomplishments you have had in life.  As I am writing this at the end of freshman year, I was chosen to be part of an incredible honors society, chosen to become a Longwood ambassador, and maintained all A’s/A-‘s the whole year.  I want you to always be proud of the amazing woman you are and I hope you have continued to be the best you can possible be.  Now it is time to go off into the real world.  I know you can do it.  Whatever you decide to do or wherever you decide to go, please make sure you are doing it for yourself and nobody else.  Do what your heart wants and I know that you will be happy.  Congratulations senior Searra!

Love, rising sophomore Searra
