I am truly thankful for everything that I have been given and await the day when I can take my place as a member of the 2012 graduating class. To those accepted, I hope you share my gratitude and love of Princeton. To those wait-listed or denied, I am sure that you will have fine futures wherever you choose to go and wish you all the best.[/ul]</p>
