To my Benevolent Benefactors,
My journey at KIS has almost come to an end. I have 2 months left on this beautiful hill that I have called home for the past 4 years. I would like to begin by expressing my eternal gratitude towards you all for allowing me to continue my education at this institution. Without you, this would not have been a possibility.
Through my years here, I have grown in all aspects of my life. I promised you all that I will be making the most of my time here. With that given opportunity, I am glad to tell you that I had my own TED talk, right here at KIS. It was called “The Confessions of an Existential Nihilist.” You can find the tedtalk by googling my name and the title. This was such an accomplishment for me, as I talked about something close to my heart. Furthermore, my work with the Student Council continued, as we established a study leave for all seniors as they gear up for their IB exams. I am so excited to tell you that I got into Virginia Tech for Computer Engineering! I hope to continue work there and maybe, even work with KFI in Boston to contribute in any way that I can. As I have mentioned before, when I graduate from college and have a job, I hope to establish a scholarship of my own at KIS one day. This place has been such an experience that I am even dreaming of getting on the council! Through your generosity, thoughtfulness, and goodwill, I have had the humble opportunity of having such amazing adventures.
The friends I have made here have become loved ones. I am forever indebted.
Sincerely,
A Student who is forever thankful,
Siddharth Gupta (Class of 2018)
