Dear Ms. Mekenney and the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks,
It seems hard to believe it but my first semester at Cornell University has already come to an end. I was very lucky in that I had a very smooth transition to college life. I have relished every moment of the experience so far. ...I am looking forward to the coming semester, and the new challenges that will present themselves. Until then, I plan on relaxing during winter break and enjoying my family and friends’ company. I am so grateful that you helped make this past semester possible for me. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it and wouldn’t exchange it for anything! Cornell really does seem to be the perfect school for me, and it would have been a real challenge for my family and me to pay the full tuition. So, thank you again! I will be sure to keep you updated on my progress. Wishing you a happy holiday!
Sincerely,
Erika Kleibrink
