To You Carolyn Tong

Today you grow one year older. Happy 20th!

Welcome to the old world, no longer a teen. I think I've known you for roughly 4 years now? It sucks that we're not as close as we once were. However, I'm glad that we're constantly able to pick up where we left off and catch up on things easily. I'm glad you followed your dream/heart when you decided to go to Emory when you easily could have gone to Maryland or somewhere close where it is 'safer." (I'm not saying its bad for everyone but you went where you wanted to)

It's been a pleasure watching you grow and I wish I could have played a larger role in your life these past couple years. You're one busy person up at Emory but I know that's a good thing. It's near impossible to catch you on AIM and you're pretty bad at responding at texts (just messin) so the only time we talk is the occasional facebook chat. I still rewatch your youtube videos every once in a while and I really wish you'd make more (*ahem* someone owes me something) I've been fortunate enough to have you as a friend and I hope we'll be able to grow closer once again.

I really like/admire the fact that you don't seem to let things bother you. You seem to have grown up a lot in college and you seem like a much more confident/outgoing person which can only bring good things your way once you enter the real world (P.S. I've only been in the real world for 2 days and it sucks!) Too bad you stop ballin cause your shot was 10 times better than mine.

I hope you continue to chase your dreams at Emory and never give up on anything you believe in. I have no doubt in my mind that you're going to do big things in this world. Happy birthday Godwin.

P.S. I'm glad you're a Musiq Soulchild fan
