Hello,
Congratulations, first.
This is a momentous, exciting occasion for you and I would love to be a minuscule part of your journey by bidding for this project.
I graduated from Columbia University in May 2012. Katherine Boo gave our commencement address. Also had the chance to listen to some amazing people as we were preparing for graduation - including Johnny Depp, Lara Logan, Calvin Trillin.
While they were all great, it was the speech of our class president that we somehow connected the most to. Here was one of us speaking in a manner pure and nervous, without the experience of all the giants who had spoken before. His raw and amazingly witty wrap-up of what we had been in together, and what we now looked forward to as a class of hopeful graduates - struck a chord.
If you give me a chance, it would be my pleasure to work with you to understand the highlights of your study, your college life, and then flesh out the details that you think are important and need to be shared with your class at large. I have 24/7 internet connection and will be able to talk with you on Skype and correspond by emails over the course of two days of the project completion.
Hoping to hear from you,
Regards,
Gauri Gharpure
