A Mizpah Recap

As a good friend once said, “the yearbook is a time box. Something that we can look back and remember all the moments that we have had with others.” The year comes to an end and with it, we can look back at all the moments we have made together. In all honestly, I left this letter as the last thing to do before turning the yearbook in, and I am still clueless on how to end our recap. I began this journey by accepting the position without knowing what to expect. At times it felt like the yearbook would never get done, it also felt overwhelming to have to sort through thousands of photos and pick out the best one. As I write this I look back and think of the many hours spent in meetings and/or asking people for quotes. But in the end, our hard work has paid off. I will want to thank the team that worked alongside me to capture and create the spreads in the book. A lot of thought has come into putting every spread together. I want to thank the publication teams for helping me finish this job, I could have not done it without them.

A few people that I don’t want to leave out and who were of great help while editing the content in the yearbook are Keith, Vitor, and Edgar. I can’t recount how many nights we spent looking over the book and asking people for quotes. As we look back, let's remember that we have done our best. We have aimed to pass classes, build friendships, and/or even just tried to survive. There is no greater effort than the one you have made this year. As we look back at this book in 10, 20, or even 50 years from now my prayer is that we remember the good times that we have had and the memories that we built together. As I like to remember, Southwestern is more than just a university, it is a group of people who can count on each other; people who can call themselves family. As we come to the end, let us not forget the moments that we have shared together, let us embrace what we have built, and let’s feel proud to have given it our best. Let’s go Knights!
