## How I've Changed 

I've undergone more growth than I ever thought possible since starting at HDS! Being so deeply immersed in my studies and surrounded by the most supportive and warmest community at HDS has been instrumental in this journey, encouraging both academic and personal growth in me. Reflecting on this journey, I will forever cherish the transformative experiences it has brought me.

## Message of Thanks 

I'm incredibly thankful for the unwavering support I've received from my family, friends—both old and new—and most importantly, my husband, Tunahan! These past two years have been a whirlwind of emotions, from anxiety to laughter, steeped in theology and filled with countless papers—I'm endlessly grateful for their constant presence and encouragement through it all. I would also like to thank all my professors and the RPL team who have inspired me immensely, and the HDS Admissions team who have made this year at HDS so memorable.

## What I Hope to Be Remembered By 

I hope and would love to be remembered as someone who was a friendly face around campus always ready for a chat, a go-getter and a person who loved bringing friends and community together.
