At the end of last year when we were deliberating on AVPs, I went against what everyone said and even the constitution when I decided to tap you as my AVP. Just incase you didn’t know AJMA has a rule that AVPs cannot go on JTA so you’re actually the first AVP who went on JTA in the history of AJMA. I worked with you in Summit and had heard amazing things about you from the people you worked with in AJMA Week last school year. I was sure you had a lot of heart and great potential.

 I just want to take the time to say thank you for giving it your 150% Stacey. I can honestly say that out of all my AVPs you are the one that pushes, going above and beyond what is expected. This is a testament to you and the great leader you have grown to be. I want you to know that I am so proud of you and all that you have accomplished Force Inauguration (even though the rain didn’t let us push through) , basically becoming the third project head for AJMA Week, Dear AJMA, bending over backwards for SOM Week by being a captain as well as a dancer and of course Summit which I know was very stressful to plan and execute. I am so grateful to have worked with you and am especially grateful that you said yes to being an HR AVP this year despite everything on your plate. I learned a lot from you, especially when it came to perseverance and drive. I have no doubt that you future in and outside of AJMA is very very bright. 
 
 I also want to thank you for being my friend Stacey. I am so glad that we were able to get to bond and get close over the course of the year. Thank you for listening to me when things are just too much. Thank you for always trying to make things better not just for me but for everyone. I really see how much you genuinely care about people and how strong your sense of right is. I super enjoy our kwento sessions and late nights spent in Ateneo ( especially during SOM Week). I hope you know that I am always always here for you no matter what. Whether what you want to talk about is work related or about your personal life. I loving hearing your kwentos. I hope you know that you can always run to me even if I am not in Ateneo anyway more I will be just a call or text away. I especially look forward to hearing the developments in your love life. *wink wink*  So please do message me while you’re out traveling Europe, I’ll be here for you to update you when you feel a bit home sick. 
 
 I hope you have a super crazy fun and memorable time there Stace! I hope you see beautiful places, eat great food, drink too much that you pass out, make new friends and all that jazz. You deserve to have fun and enjoy, considering how hard you work. When your adventures are over and you’re packing up to go home. Please remember me and the rest of HR and know that you have us, your fam waiting to hear about all your stories
 
 Love you Stace and I will see you in a few months :) 
 
 

I’m honestly really sad 'cause I only got to spend a few days with you this school year because of JTA :( But at the same time, I’m really so happy and excited for you to see and explore the world on your own. I know you’ll have the time of your life there. And honestly, I’m so proud because I know how hard you’ve worked to make this dream come true. FINALLY, HERE YOU ARE!!!!

It’s no secret, though, that JTA is freakin hard and it will really test you. JTA will push you beyond your limits, and I hope you learn to embrace these experiences and challenges because this is where you’ll be able to grow more. It’s funny because JTA is where you’ll learn the most about yourself and the world, but this is the time you learn the least in school WAHAHA. So, take this opportunity to travel and do everything you want to do!!!! 

Through your whole journey, I hope you know that I’m always gonna be here - whether you want to make kuwento about the silliest things, want to make banat, need itineraries, or need advice (even if you NEVERlisten!!!). I’m always so excited to hear your kuwentos during our monthly vid calls!!! Huhu I love you so much. STAY SAFE & LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!!!! 

I hope the coming sem brings you happiness and wonder and a time for your brain to rest and be at peace! Eat lots, drink lots, explore lots and leave all your worries behind! It’s time for you to enjoy and for sure you deserve it after so long!! 

We’ll miss you back in the Philippines but i hope you cherish your time abroad <3 i’m here for you for anything you might need in the PH! 

See you when you get back!!
