The North Pole
Dear Alex,
You finished. I know how much of it happened where nobody could see, at a desk, late, when it would have been far easier to stop.
I have been writing to you since you were small, and it is a strange and rather wonderful thing to be writing to you about this. The child who once asked me for a bicycle has gone and got themselves qualified.
Whatever you do next, Alex, be the sort of person who is kind to the people just starting out. That has always mattered more than any of the rest of it.
Very proud of you,
Santa Claus
