Banksy: "Pier Pressure"

The most villainous of villains.

This about sums it up.

A late graduation gift.

I don't think I got you a graduation gift, baby sister. So here's a blog post. My first one in a long time. And it's just for you - Sita Nojopranoto, proud graduate of Stanford University's Class of 2010.

The fam-fam.

Bachelor's degree from Stanford? Check.

Taking some time off? In the middle of it.

Ph.D? Just a matter of time.

Yeah, you're pretty much killing it.

I've probably been putting off writing this blog post for you for so long because I didn't really know what to say. I still don't.

What is there really to say? You're my baby sister. You were always a bright kid; really bright. A hard worker. A bit on the uptight side. But I think you're learning to relax.

There's never been any doubt in my mind that you would do great things with your life. And you already are. Just look at where you're at in life: Multidisciplinary bachelor's degree from Stanford University. Making some pretty decent money at a startup right there in venture capital country. Prepping yourself for grad school to get your Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. I'm not surprised, at all, by any of the amazing things you've done (and have yet to do). I'm pretty much speechless.

I have no doubt you have it in you to keep moving forward in life. As long as that head on your shoulders stays level, you keep your loved ones close, and you do everything you do for the right reasons, I know you'll achieve everything you want and more. Congratulations on everything you've achieved so far, Adik. I'm sure you at least have some idea of how proud everyone is of you. But I really think you have no idea how proud of you I am. Love you, baby sis. Congratulations again!
