I am writing these words today as if I almost know you, yet I have only had the privilege of meeting you once. Although we may be a few generations apart and many miles away, we do share a very unique thread which intertwines between us.
You are now standing where I once stood some 50 years ago. Much has changed since then but the simple words of truth and wisdom never will.
You are still so very young and yet you have achieved so much in such a relatively short time. This is all quite exciting and satisfying however with this meteoric rise in the public eye comes with an inconvenient cost. I have a sense that despite your brilliant successes you do not wish to be arbitrarily placed on a pedestal. This was not, I'm sure, part of your plan. I can totally relate to this unease at being forced into the limelight especially at your age.
