alvin was the coordinator of student development of the hall i was a resident advisor in during my second year. being an RA was one of the first milestones that inspired me to go into all of this and alvin was one of my first mentors that helped me figure out this is what i wanted to do with my life. it was crazy to have a short conversation with him on the phone today. two years later, so much has happened and i had a thousand things to update him on.
right now, i just feel really supported by a lot of different people to pursue all of this. thank you to everyone.
