Dad, I could not be prouder to be your daughter. Your strength, intelligence, integrity, and humility inspire me to strive for nothing less than excellence. You nurtured in me a love of international relations and political science that kindled in me a passion and drive to pursue both academically; truly, I am my father's daughter. I miss you do much, Dad, and it seems absurd to me that life is going on all around me, loud and busy, but yet you are not here to join in life's song. I love you so much, Dad. Always.
