Dr. Blair has been the pillar of unwavering support that I have always needed in life. In times when I felt so incredibly lost, broken, and scared, she has stayed right beside me, guiding me through the challenges and difficulties that I face. She has given me hope for a better and brighter future, one where I can and will succeed on all accounts because of her dedication and determination to see me thrive as the best version of myself, one that she is helping me discover, find, and construct each and every day. Through this process, she has taught me the true values of virtue, honor, and integrity by modeling it at every moment, helping me see beyond just the abstract definition to feel, experience, and understand what it means so that I too can be virtuous, honorable, and with integrity. These principles of humanity, strength, and fortitude are what has enabled me to thrive and survive what I could never believe I could before, empowering me to weather the storm and make it out the other side stronger than ever before. It is all because of her and the compassionate guiding steps that she has planned out for me, helping me take one day at a time, one situation at a time, so that I can conquer it all. I cannot thank her enough for the truly monumental and incredible gift that she has given me.
