Ello mates! 

I am grateful and humbled by being this year’s Cultural Director of Logistics. I’d like to thank Darian for being there for me at my highest highs and lowest lows. Thank you for being patient with me through this crazy term and supporting me no matter what.

TO MY CULTURALS! I love how we grew together through this year. From being strangers to now acting like each other, I wouldn’t change a thing. Good luck to Ana for another term in CORE and Paolo for leaving East Bay forever. Yall made this year so memorable <3

To my “Icy” Line - Thank you for being there when I needed you the most. From keeping me company so I’m not alone to make me laugh when I need to be happy. Yall made me the proudest Ate/Grand! Thank you to Anna, Jake, Delilah, Rodamen, Gregory, Emilia <3 

TO COREBAYBAYAN - To the long meetings of having to dance the CORE dance at PCN. I loved how welcoming everyone was when I was appointed to be an officer. I’m even happier with all the relationships I gained from being a part of CORE. 

Small shoutout to Air, Meller - I’m thankful that CORE brought us closer together!

Thankful for my talented INTERN - DANRENE. Bless your soul for being the most organized and crafty person, I know. Thanks for the late-night motivation text messages to let me rant to you, I’m thankful to be your mentor and I hope for the brightest future for you. 

I want to also say thank you to everyone who supported me and “reminded me to drink water,” this year was super difficult and I had days of wanting to quit. But I’m thankful for being able to make it through this whole term, and I’m so proud of everyone. At the end of the day, we are here to make friends and know more about culture - Thank you PASA for this opportunity!
