...said Bong-Ihn Koh ’08, when asked about why he thinks he was chosen as one of the Fifteen Most Interesting Seniors. Well, yes, but that wasn’t the primary reason. At the unusually young age of 12, Koh, an extraordinarily gifted cellist, won the Third International Tchaikovsky Competition for Young Musicians, which he considers the musical world’s affirmation that he was ready to perform and influence people with his music.

Layla’s overprotective father cuts short his daughter’s relationship and then tells her that her son, Rush, died at birth.
