Dear Sam Lim,
You'll never see this, nor will you ever know who I am (and I hope you don't know how and/or why you should know me), but I'm really sorry. I'm sorry.

random writings on binder paper.
it's interesting what you find when you're cleaning...
what i wrote down on some binder paper around september 2009:
ive been busting my ass for the past 4 years. academically, emotionally, physically, financially (kinda)... no one's going to take this day away from me"
i'd like to be a professor one day. i'd like to give back to the community, influence, and inspire those to pursue higher education
i've worked hard. i've busted my ass for the past four years, and although it doesn't seem like it, please trust me, i've worked to push my limits and challenge myself
i work hard only because there are others who work so much harder. i have been extremely lucky, and id like to thank my parents for all their hard work and financial support, for giving me the freedom and taking away the financial stress that most students bear, in order to focus on school, but most importantly, to discover myself
for 11 years, i went through the private school system. i decided to go to uc davis. why? beause i wanted to get away. i could've gone to santa clara but i forfeited that privilegel. and i wouldn't have it any other way.
i have the utmost respect for students who put themselves through school, who made the conscious decision to forfeit the instant gratification of just a paycheck to pursue higher education and ultimately, hopefully, a bigger paycheck much later; who have beat all odds, taken themselves out of their comfort zones or their predetermined roles to change their future (= my rooms. love you rooms!)
some people don't college. bill gates, elizabeth holmes, my lola ode. they're just brilliant, but for the rest of us? let's stay in school
hahaha wow.
