This acceptance letter feels more like a relay baton passed into my hands. It embodies the countless hours of dedicated guidance and selfless support from my advisors. Their efforts made me see not just an opportunity at a prestigious university, but a profound expectation. Beyond the joy, I feel a calm yet solemn sense of responsibility—how can I prove worthy of this hard-won opportunity at a place like Brown, and how can I transform the help I received into forward momentum? I also sincerely wish all applicants still on their journey find guides who can illuminate their path, and ultimately, pass that light on.
