The joy is transient, but the growth from this journey is everlasting. What I am most grateful to my advisory team for is not just the final outcome, but how they helped me rediscover myself throughout the process. They acted as a mirror,犀利地 reflecting my blind spots, and as scaffolding, supporting me as I constructed a stronger sense of self. Through essay prompts, I clarified my true passions; through intensive interview preparation, I learned to present myself with composure. This acceptance letter is a collaborative masterpiece between my advisors and me, bearing witness to the emergence of a more confident and self-aware individual.
