A promotion to JM4 is a very exciting time not only for the member but for the Clan community as a whole. It's a time where we celebrate the hard work a new member has put in to get to this point. It's a great time for the member being promoted to be the center of attention for they have completed their trials and now stand on their own within the clan and the club as a whole.

Ozosi Vym or as most of us know her as Kris' has gone out and has destroyed her Promotion requirements and in such a quick fashion as well. She could have rested and relaxed and just waited for her time in grade to be up. This, of course, was not her style she kept finding new things to do and expand her horizons not only within the Clan but she recently got hired as an SA Docent as well. I will let her Master speak directly on her activities since he was with her the whole time.

I'll honestly admit that when Kris first joined the House 6 months ago she was quiet and I didn't really know her well. Since then she has not only become more comfortable to be a noticeable figure in the telegram chats. She came into her own during the War as well.

The last few months watching Kris come into her own and become a active vibrant member of Hoth and Odan-Urr has been such a joy. I already see how she will make a great leader in the club one day and I'm so excited for her to see where she will go from here. I don't think this is the last promotion or award she will get.

Kris you are a wonderful person, an awesome member and more importantly a person I know I can count on. I'm glad I got to know you and I'm happy you accepted me as a friend as well. Your attitude and spirit are infectious and you do inspire and push me to be the best leader and member as I can be. So from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for bringing your spark to COU and Hoth!

So without further delay, I am more than honored to promote you to Journeyman 4!

Congratulations Ozosi Vym!!

I've seen a number of great Journeymen reach Knighthood in my tenure as Headmaster, but rarely have I ever gotten as excited about one as I am about Ozosi (or Kris). She's a whirlwind of activity and I can tell that she's quickly becoming a big part of COU.

When I recently put out a call for Professors and Docents, I only received a handful of applications and hers was one of them. I was blown away. It was professional (more so than I've seen in some applications to cross my real life desk), it was thorough, and it contained action plans. Yeah, you heard me - action plans! For a PROF/DOC position! As you can guess, of course I hired her. In the weeks since she's jumped right into work, going over each of her courses with a fine-toothed comb to check for errors and brainstorm areas they can be expanded or altered for the better. She's done more work in the short period of time she's been on the Shadow Academy staff than most of her fellow staffers have in their much longer tenures - and most of them are veteran Equites!

Kris has more than earned this promotion to JM4, and I'm happy to have been asked to write in support of it. What excites me more than anything, though, is that I know she's far from done. Congrats!

Ozosi Vym, a person I have had the honor to get to know since the beginning. I am exceedingly proud to count her as my fellow Odanite and now as a fellow full-fledged Knight. A fellow sister in Odan-Urr, someone I can game and write with, not including the shenanigans along the way. She has become a very real part of Odan-Urr's community and I can't imagine it without her now. Moreover, she has already started to take on some responsibility in the club, giving back through helping out the SA's office.

As her former Rollmistress and friend, I am exceedingly proud of how far she has come and I am excited to know that I have no idea how far she will soar. I look forward to seeing your star rise with Odan-Urr. Congratulations on this wonderful achievement. You have truly earned all the Knighthood sushi. Well done, Knight of Odan-Urr!

I first met Ozosi Vym as a shiny member, directly recruited by another within House Hoth. Then, within a matter of days from Ozosi joining us on Telegram, Blade approached me about becoming Kris' mentor in the Brotherhood. Rather than immediately saying yes, as some would, Ozosi chose to first take the time to get to know me before coming to a decision.

As mentor and Aedile, Ozosi has exceeded all expectations and tasks I have set. Yet Kris shows no signs of slowing, becoming a Docent within the Shadow Academy before hitting Knight and asking what else could be done for the Clan and the Brotherhood as whole. Yes, you read that right, a Journeyman still learning the ropes of how the club works asking what they can do to continue improving the experience for others.

I know this is only the beginning of Ozosi's journey and I look forward to seeing where she goes from here. It's my distinct pleasure to recommend Ozosi Vym be promoted to Journeyman 4.

Congratulations, my friend. It's been a long journey thus far and it only continues from here. You've more than earned this, Kris.
