I've known Jessica Fung since I was in 1st grade. To see her improve so much and be admitted to such a distinguished school makes me full of joy. I remember when she would draw in the classroom during recess because she had no friends. However, that didn't stop her from honing her skills as a strong artistic student. To see her thrive in the world where art is not as appreciated, it brings me great joy to congratulate Jessica Fung on her accomplishments and wish her well on her future endeavors.
