yamini (aka yam, yamu)
technically, yam and i first met in 6th grade when we were both cheerleaders (that's right, cheerleaders) for opposing elementary schools, but we don't actually remember meeting each other, so i guess it doesn't really count. we became friends in 7th grade and have been best friends ever since, and it has been a while. i guess i should mention that me, yam, and nat were pretty much inseperable beginning in 7th grade up until we all left for college (we were known at one point as the trinity). many many weekends were spent at the rao house, & many of the rao family trips included me.

yam graduated from dartmouth in 2006 and is now attending vanderbilt medical school in nashville. she has volunteered throughout the world: india, peru, argentina. she inspires me everyday to strive and do something worthwhile. she is my resident valadictorian, cheapskate, and expert on medical things. she is always looking for adventure, cheap clothes, and ways to avoid fixing her hair.

she is currently on her way to argentina for the summer. hope she doesn't break too many hearts while she's south of the equator...
