We have watched, over the years, as you have worked towards this moment.<\/p>\n
We have seen the blisters on your hands and the Zootie tans on your backs.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve rolled our eyes as you run into the dining room at 6:55 in half rowing gear, half school uniform and struggle to wolf down 3 bowls of pasta before roll call starts.<\/p>\n
